"The aroma of this beer is of raisins and molasses. It's lightly carbonated with a thin head. Malt, sweet, it has quite a lot of raisin flavor in it. "

"Not doing it for me. The pour was dark brown to black, some ruby / mahoganey edges and hues. Weak initial head, near to nil lacing. The aroma was raisins, vinous, light coffee aromas. Flavor was dark fruits, raisins in particular, chocolate and coffee, molasses, lots of burnt but unfermented sugars (in an ick sort of way), and some milk stout type character too. Not a good blend of flavors, although a lot going on. Mouthfeel was moderate with a light acidity. Blah."

"Last year, I order a version of this bier, billed as a Stark Swarzbier. IT was damn good! Best black bier I ever drank, period. One thing I noted, to myself at least, was it was very porter like. When the latest batch arrived, I was suprided to find a 7.2% Porter! The bier is BLACK, with a rock brown head. Aroma is a little "glycerine" like. The flavor is some place between roasty malt, but no burnt flavors, with a hint of lichorish. A very robust body, with a dry finish. Neuzeller produces some of the oddest brews I have drank in Germany. From the gag a maggot Black Abbot, through their "odd bocks", and now a Grand version of Porter. Good news is shipped to my door across the country, 40.25 US for 30 half liters. As always, no telling what it will be like once it hits the US shores, here Neuzeller Kloster is trying hard to keep a local tradition alive and its working just fine. Great with stink cheese and 'matters."
