Moerlein Barbarossa is slow-aged with a deep reddish brown color and a malt aroma derived from Munich dark malt. The balanced finish invites a toast to the return of a legend.

Tap at barcade - holy crap this was bad - smelled like brown sugar and roasted malts - but the flavor was was a mix of caramelized sugar and diacetyl, reminding me of burnt cracker jacks - an "I’m infected" acidity creeps up in the finish, too, adding to the crappiness - I ordered a full pint of this, but could only drink a few sips.

12oz bottle. Filtered looking brown amber color. Unassuming mildly sweet aroma. The taste is pretty straightforward, with a crisp hop balance to the dark malt. Not exactly world class, but a pretty good session beer in a lot of respects. Easy drinking and smooth for sure.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark ruby-brown color with a large khaki head. The aroma was lightly sweet and malty with a touch of malted milk and chocolate. The flavor was sweet, creamy and malty with a lightly bitter and roasty middle and noted of malted milk underneath. The finish was short tangy and bitter. Decent.
