Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is of freah earthy hops that give it a piney and rich aroma. Flavor falls way flat of the aroma. Very watery but there is a touch of hops in there. This started off so good but fell flat.

A stout-lager they say? This is a decent beer. Basically a lightly carbonated oatmeal/chocolate/coffee stout. Just a little grit, but it is fairly thick and has a nice brown head. Prominent chocolate aroma and choco-coffee flavor.

Mine says Maifest lager. I hope this is right since there is no other lisitng to a maifest lager. Pour is orange with a white head. Aroma is decent with notes of toasted malts and some hops. Flavor is also decent, tons of caramel malts and some brown sugar. The best beer by this brewer by far.

This beer came to me from my beer club. I am not otherwise familiar with this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized very dark brown head. The aroma is sweet and roasty with sweet chocolate and coffee elements. The flavor is moderately sweet, roasty, toasty and has a light chocolate element and a hint of coffee. There is a moderate floral hop presence. The finish is roasty and chocolaty. The mouthfeel is moderately thick.

Bottled, thanks heemer77. Dark brown colour, small brown head. Chocolate in aroma and malts in aroma. Roasted chocolate in flavour, the finnish becomes a bit chocolateish. A bit thin, but hell, this is good.

Bottled
Ruby-amber color, small coffee head. Grassy hoppy and milk chocolate in the aroma. Coffee beans, chocolate chips and grassy hops in the flavor.Not very bock-like, quite light malt-wise, but very drinkable, not too sweet at least.

Pour is a dark red with a small white head. Aroma is lagery with a bit of caramel in there. Flavor is malty but dull all over. Really watery in the end and not a good rep of the style.

Pour is a very black with a tan head. Aroma is faint whifs of chocolate and malts. Flavor is bitter coffee with a chocolate quality. Finishes bland and watery. Looks good and smells good but in the end its just not thick enough to be a stout.
