From old tasting notes. Clear reddish brown color with a big foamy tan head. Molasses-like roasted malt aroma. Sweet roasted malt flavor with a smooth malty finish. Pleasant semi-sweet aftertaste. Nicely balanced and flavorful.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark red color with a light transparency about it to allow light streams of carbonated bubbles rising. The head was about a finger’s worth of white foaminess that dissipated within about a minute.
Lacing was stringy and smooth.
The smell had a fair toffee, light chocolate and a little bit of earthiness with a light apples.
The taste was mainly sweet and bready. The apples come back slightly.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still lending a decent smoothness about it too.
Overall, this was a pretty good Vienna Lager I could see myself having again.
