Handwritten notes: Schwarzbier? Fuck it, I'll defer to Beer Advocate on that one. This is a smoky/campfirey beer with a loverly brisket-like taste. It's a nice bold flavour, but gets washed away with a swirl of watered-down malt juice. The smoke should stick to your clothes and make you wish you were dead. You all know what I mean, you sit by a campfire and absorb every ounce of reek that that fire has to omit. You stumble home and fall asleep, leaving yourself no option but washing your sheets the next day. Still, this beer's "ok".
