Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - fizzy clear brown beer - sticky lace - aroma of spices and strong nuttiness - there is a similar nutty character in the flavor, along with some very light spices - none of the earthy complexities of most good dunkelweizens - nothing stand out here, but tasty enough.

Bottle courtesy of kp. Thanks! Pours dark brown with a small white head. Very little retention or lacing. Aroma is hybrid-esque, with Belgian yeast, citrus, green apple, caramel and brown sugar. Taste is Belgian yeast, grain, nuts, citrus. Smooth and pleasantly tart. Another hit from French Broad. Hmm... on sip seven or eight I started getting the FUNK!

Bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop Durham. Pours a deep red color with a small head. Grainy, bitter aroma with just a touch of fruitiness. Taste is pretty much straightforward malt... grainy and nutty. Just a tad bit of bitterness. Very nice.

Tampa Tuesday tasting night – blind tasting, courtesy of Degarth. Pours dark dark brown with light brown head. The aroma is full of dark fruity esters mixed with flower fragrance and not much else. Thick mouth feel churning up solid dark fruity esters in the flavor as well as a load of floral hop flavor and mild bitterness. Wow, way bigger flowery experience than I was expecting.

Thanks to nearbeer for this one! Pours a deep mahogany with lots of ruby highlights at the edges. Thin, fleeting, tan head. Rich malt aroma, little to no hops. Candy like. Belgian aspects with lots of malt sweetness. Good solid creamy body.

Imperial Porter from French Broad River Brewery

This is the fourth growler Degarth opened out of seven he brought back from his trip. Thanks buddy. Pours dark with clear brown edges and tan head. The aroma is malty, roasty and malty sweet with nearly as bold notes of burnt malts and chocolate malts. The taste is fairly bold with a nice dash of burnt malts that seems to run through the flavor from front to back. More initial flavor notes are coming from malt roastiness, rich chocolate malts and coffee mingling with the burntness. Sweetness seems to build midway and into the finish to balance the roasty to burnt malt notes. Enjoyable Porter and I can even taste the Asheville.

Bottle. Smoke, sour milk and cherry aroma. Red brown color with a small head. Creamy red cherry malt flavor with an orange peel hops finish. Tasty beer that hides alcohol content well.

Growler. Sweet barley malt aroma with a hint of peach. Pale yellow with a moderate white head. Barley malt predominantly - lightly sweet with a moderate hops finish. A nice koelsch on the the hoppy side.
