Draught at 3 Tides, since debut
Deep mahogany-colored body is topped by a moderate amount of light beige head that is well-retained. Low clarity.
Lightly sweet caramel is heavily flecked with a very peppery phenol character that also adds clove and light cinnamon to the mix. Low on the banana ester (yay) and with no sign of alcohol. Aroma strength is medium, but gains much more maltiness (dry chocolate, graham crackers, peanuts) as it warms.
The flavor has a very strong malt backbone, not terribly sweet yet with enough interesting malt flavors (chocolate, caramel, graham crackers) to balance the dryness of the spicy phenols. A bit of alcohol warmth sits on the finish, as well. Carbonation is a bit sharp/fizzy, the texture being somewhat slick.

Draft at When Pigs Fly. Hazy brown in color with fast dying head. Aroma is caramel and light earthy malt. Flavor starts with the Earthy malt and caramel and ends with German yeast. Hints of banana and nuts. The mats and yeast are very authentic to Bavaria. True to the style with malt being more profound then the yeast. Body is a little thin.
