Miner Mishap is our version of a traditional German Schwarzbier, also known as "Black Pilsner" or simply "Black Lager." our traditional version was formulated by our friend William Scott (or Scotty as he's known around the brewery), an award-winning homebrewer and certified beer judge who has always been very generous about sharing his creations and his seemingly unlimited knowledge of beer. It seemed only fitting that since we started out as a homebrewery, we would try and recreate one of Scotty's homebrews (which are typically 5 or 10 gallon batched) here in our 15 barrel (465 gallon) brewhouse. Brewed almost entirely with malt imported from Weyermann Specialty Malts in Bamberg, Germany and hopped with imported German Perle and Hallertaur Mittlefreu hops, Miner Mishap is truly a one-of-a-kind original.

"From a bottle, poured very dark with a thin white head. Notes of coffee and chocolate. The taste was surprisingly stronger than what I was expecting. I found this very tasty and if it was available here would definitley have this in my frige consistantly."

[2] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/13/2008 12:01:21 AM)
"Opaque black with just a hint of red highlights. Nice nose of roasted malt. Great mouthfeel with a tinge of bitterness and deep coffee-sweet taste. Tangy and spritely, too but mostly complex robust deep flavors. Nicely crafted version of a great style. MUSIC: 'Miner's Refrain' by Gillian Welch"

"From the bottle. Pours a dark brown/black with a nice tan head. Aroma is slightly sweet and surprisingly strong. Flavor has a nice hop finish with a well balanced sweetness up front. A really good beer. Thanks to Brett for trading with Dansting who gave me a bottle to try."

[5] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/12/2008 10:35:31 AM)
"Sampled from bottle and draft at the brewery. Certainly my favorite from Choc. It's not often one can sample a bottle-conditioned lager, so here's your chance - and an excellent example of the style. "
