Abstract We report a pointed Swift observation of the black hole X-ray transient MAXI J1836-194 (ATel #3611, #3613). The source is suggested to be a black hole candidate based on its timing and spectral properties, and the radio detection during the rise of the previous outburst (ATels #3618, #3628). The source was first detected by MAXI/GSC on August 30, 2011 (ATel #3611), and it was on for about 3 months.
