I had this on tap at CCB during a business trip to Tampa. I'm in Tampa a few times a year and love stopping in to sample the latest and greatest.

Poured a black with ruby highlights and a tan head. The notes upfront emphasize roasted malts.

The hightlight of this was the toasty malts mixed with a touch of Munich malt. This was all followed by a bitter chocolate finish with a hint of residual sweetness. The carbonation made for easy drinking.

A nice schwarzbier and a good choice for session drinking.

Serving type: on-tap

I had this beer poured from nitro tap at the brewery, poured into a pint glass.

A: Dark Opaque Hue, Passes No Light, Thick Creamy Off White Head, Great Lacing

S: Dark Mildly Roasted Chocolate Malts, Mild Coffee, Mild Caramel

T: Dark Roasted Malts, Chocolate, Coffee

M: Great Carbonation, Medium to Full Bodied, Mildly Malty, Mildly Sticky

Overall, a pretty solid black lager made better with the nitro tap, added creaminess and smoothed out the flavors.

Serving type: nitro-tap

On draft at Churchkey in D.C.

The beer is dark brown with a small tan head. The aroma is roasty, with notes of coffee and chocolate. Nice tasting beer. Light and simple. Easy drinking. A touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Well balanced. This is a nice brew that I wouldn't mind drinking again.

From tap to tasting glass at The Funky Buddha Lounge on 6/2/12
*From notes

A: This one's reasonably dark and pretty clean brown. A minimal tan head and thin collar top this small glass of beer.

S: Medium roast coffee, tea leaves and milk chocolate.

T: Dry autumn leaves. A bit of dusty cocoa and dry malt round out the flavor profile.

M: The feel is decent if not slightly thin. Overall the texture, body and such are a bit better then just ok.

O: A decent stab at a Schwarzbier. I can't say it's one I'll spout off about at my next tasting, but I'd probably have a couple if offered.
