Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A dark reddish brown beer with a mid-sized most good lasting beige head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, coffee, some sweet chocolate. Taste of sweet mild roasted dark malt, coffee, sweet toffee, quite nice!

Many thanks to Peter (pdog555) for this bottle! The nose is dry with lots of roast and coffee in the back. The beer starts very smooth and mild. Nice depth with round coffee beans there, not too bitter with a mild roast. Smooth mild, not too roasted or too bitter, but a bit too soft in everything. The aftertaste wi round and smooth, nice coffee there, mild and sessionable. But I miss something distinctive a bit - the beer seems too mild and mainstream.

Many thanks to Peter (pdog555) for this bottle! Nice Heller Bock nose. The beer starts mild smooth with sweetish hints. Very soft and mild, the body is moderate sweetish and easy to drink, caramel, nice Heller Bock flavour with nice malts. Not much bitterness in the back, easy to drink and very sessionable! Fantastic Maibock.

Very dark with the expected coffee aroma. Very smooth taste, hints of dark chocolate and, obviously, coffee. Elements of this remind me of a stout or a really dark red wine. I have the sneaking suspicion this would pair well with fruit.

12 oz can at a super shitty restaurant in South Boston. No glass. Probably yellow with off-white head. Aromas of caramel, malt. Tastes of caramel, malt, light floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish.

Pours a reddish-amber with a very slight yeast smell. More carbonation that I had expected. Interesting taste with a complex palate. Getting distinct hints of nuts and perhaps a slight toasted flavor. Hard to describe, I have no experience with this style. Very good beer though.

Pours a hazy yellow straw from a can. Big Skittles aroma, similar flavor but not cloyingly sweet. Pretty good beer.

Pours a nice clear mahogany from a tap, cream colored head has some lacing. Malty, light wheat toast aroma. Slightly bitter but mostly sweet. Good beer.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Julio's Liquors. And like a rookie, I didn't check the date. Bottled on 6- 28-17. How was this still in Julio's cooler? Ok, I will keep an opened mind here because I have to give a score. Orange/ deep hazy golden color with lasting head retention. Aroma is huge caramel malt and light flaked oats. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy but unfortunately, the hop profile is nearly dead here. Just a mild herbal bitterness.
Clearly the buyers fault for not checking the date. And Julio's mistake for letting it sit in the cooler so long. A caramel influenced mess at this point.
