12 oz bottle at the Bucket Shop Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia. The pour is a light haze copper orange with a minimal off white head. The aroma has some nut and soft toast malt. The taste is clean, fresh solid Dunkel flavor profile. The toasted malt is the main character, with some softly sweet nut behind. The palate is light bodied, soft carbonation and a clean finish. Simple, well made, easy to drink.

Light golden coloured body with a slightly hazy glow and a rich two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of light malt, a touch of hops and some subdued grassy and herbal notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong herbal and grassy character at first with a nice lemon and subdued malt flavour and a pleasant effervescence. Aftertaste shows a nice herbal and grassy taste with the malt coming out strongest, but in a good way. Overall, a very pleasant kolsch with nice flavours throughout and a subdued complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Arrowine in Arlington, Virginia on 06-November-2013 - Thanks Kev!

8oz pour at Smoke and Barrel. Been chasing this around DC for a while. Pours an inky black with some spitty, brown head. Nose is very nice, lots of molasses, lots of roasted malt, some dark chocolate, vanilla, woody, some caramel. Flavor is nice too, some coffee grounds, sweet black strap molasses, a hint of black pepper and then solid barrel, wood, caramel, toast, vanilla. Full bodied, lightly sweet, lightly astringent finish.
