Process and imagination converge in this modern classic. Cellarless Keller is a traditional lager cellared using a new technique to achieve the elegant aromas and flavors of toasted oak barrels without the timely oak conditioning process. Instead, we pioneered the use of oak wood treatments in the beer using a proprietary blend of toasts and char. Our combination of oak woods are specific to our lager recipe and pinpoint a flavor profile to create a genuinely Cellarless Kellerbier.

Big white pounder can with homer simpson's cousin on it. Pour is simple clear pale lagerlike eye. Smell is simply a typical fresh beer olfactory. Taste is not bad, one of the better domestic kellers I've had. Keller fer sher but not much of that evil sharp keller thing we get in many quickie domestic varieties. This is more civilized, like straight out of the old country. Smoother with just enough zwickie to make it interesting. Not sure if I can find the oak in this, but perhaps that's what is mellowing it out? Who knows? Some sediment in the bottom of can makes it a little hazy on the last pour. Pretty good level of CO2 in this as well. Not bad for a friday afternoon! Tad of medium bitterness in the ending.

Pour is a clear gold with a slight copper tint and a average white head. Aroma is marzen type malt, a little sweetness and a very slight oak. If it was not on the can I would not have guessed oak. Flavor is again like a toasted marzen and the finish is a little soapy. Not all that enjoyable. I don't know what they were going for here.

Fresh oak, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head. Lightly sweet woody biscuit malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Delivers on the oak but otherwise a basic lager.
