Tap at GT. Intensely thick and unfiltered, they poured a pitcher of yeastiness down the drain before pouring my glass. Thick orange-brown caramel color. Creamy, steady, off-white head. An odd hybrid, dry Cluster-like hops, thick yeast, a touch of wheat? Some odd spicy esters, from hairspray to pepper, borderline Saison tones. Yeast is overbearing. Odd, not so enjoyable. Soapy, oily finish.

Draft sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Boozy with pine and citrus. Just a hint of tropical fruits too. Pretty good.

Draft sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Light hops and loads of grain. Watery. Meh, nothing to seek out.

Unfiltered thick brown-black body. Pretty solid Schwarzbier. Brown chocolate caramel tones. Rich, fresh, big specialty malt tones. Pretty much all you can ask for in the style. Right on.

Was just called Monk when I was there in 2012. Unfiltered orange-tan. Big, bold, sweet orange candy sugar tones like a Tripel. Not that impressive, but drinkable. Nice malt tones, almost like a big doughy bock at times.

Opaque brown black body. Creamy beige head. A pretty solid Black IPA, the orange peel and ginger meld right in. The ginger comes out more as it warms/approaches room temperature. Really complements the brown sugary chocolate tones. Medium to full bodied. Not World Class stuff, but very enjoyable.

Tap at Grumpy Troll. Unfiltered orange-tan. Creamy white head, steady. I found this to be quite enjoyable, big banana tones and a solid smoke flavor. Not unlike a Bamberg beer in its finish. Excellently sessionable, and lots of character too. Dry, bitter, soapy straw hop balance. Very nice.

Bottle 65 cl. Label reads 9,0% ABV. Pours an almost clear amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is almost entirely caramel with some alcohol showing. Hardly any detectable hop aromas. Rich, malty body, again loads of caramel. Clearly there is some bitterness, but it’s more herbal than fresh and citrusy. Reading the description I understand why! Ends bitter and alcoholic. 260713
