I had this on tap. It pours clear brown without much head. The aromas and flavors are roast malt and a little caramel. This is full flavored and very drinkable with nothing harsh or burnt.

Poured on-tap into a snifter
A. Pours a dark black, 2mm off-white head that fell off quickly to a medium thick ring
S. Semlls of very nice roasted coffee, mild chocolate and some hints of fruit. T. Tastes of dark choccolate, smoked well roasted coffee beans, thick smoke.
M. Medium thin body, light carbonation, very chewy. The thick bold feeling stick around in your mouth for minutes afterwards. It’s as if you were chewing on bread.
O. A decent brew. I think it’s a little confused on what it is. Is it a mildly thick coffee porter? Is it a thich and chewy smoked beer? Or is it a thin black ale? It seems to be mixed up between the three. It tastes pretty good and is interesting. It is on the thin side which is really it’s only big downfall. But it is a big one. Not something I would ever search out.

Burntwood Black Ale
Thirsty Pagan Brewing
Schwarzbier
4.2-4.8% ABV
OG?
IBUs?
Sampled at the brewpub in pint glass on September 26, 2010.
Appearance 1/5
Murky dirty brown with no head and no lacing, in spite of swirling it from time to time. Just awful!
Aroma 3/5
Some sweet malts, some roast.
Taste 3/5
Nice roast and some maltiness. Pretty unoffensive, and good for an ale (?) of this size. No hop flavor. Some sweetness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel 3/5
Medium body, medium carbonation, medium finish.
Drinkability 4/5
Good, but I didn't find any reason to order more, even though it's pretty low ABV. Also, it looks very uninviting, which is a deterrent.

This has become my favorite beer at the Thirsty Pagan. It's a great mild with some real flavor to it, and it goes great with the pizza.
The appearance is pitch black with a little bit of brown head on it, though like all TPB brews, it's lower carbonation so it doesn't get much head. It has always seems free of sediment, but also often free of active carbonation.
The taste and smell match pretty much, roasted malt, very little if any hops. It's not smokey at all, just roasty.
Burntwood is low carbonation, but not flat. It's very smooth and on the lighter side, but not as light as BMC beers.
This is a very drinkable beer. A great session beer and it just works so perfectly with the pizza.
