Poured a rather dark color for a lager, almost looked like some brown ales that I have seen and it has a nice head to boot. The aroma is also pretty nice. Heavy on the malts. The taste however did not do it for me. It tasted like there was more alcohol in it than there really was. It was kind of sweet, but almost in a bad way. Overall, everything about the beer told me that it was gonna be good and then it fell very short.

I had this on tap at a pizzeria in the Springfield area visiting family. We enjoyed pitchers of this all night and it paired well with the pizza. Nice and cold, light and crisp. Moderate carbonation and a decent bittering finish.

Bottle: Poured a medium black color stout with a medium light brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt with some black chocolate notes. Taste is also dominated by some slightly bitter roasted malt with some notes of black chocolate. Body is definitely too thin for the style with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not bad overall even though body is watery and too thin for the style.

Cask, 6.0% at GBBF08. Hazy almost black colour. Good sweetish liquorice flavour, quite malty. Not that bitter. Smooth mouthfeel, very pleasant. Warming alcohol aftertaste.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color weizen with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of some light banana ester with a huge amount of DMS (overcooked vegetables). Taste is also dominated by some weird overcooked vegetables notes with some light notes of banana. Extremely bad and way off style for me to enjoy. I rarely drain pour beers but this is one that I could not drink the whole bottle.

Hazy amber-red. Banana, fruity, some light toffee character. Soft, a little spritzy. There’s some barrel and alcohol towards the finish. Soft caramel is the main component, though.
