Bottle from Binny's, Chicago.

Not the most complex of brews but stylewise this is interesting for sure.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is toasted malt and caramel sweetness. Flavor is more of the same but a little more sweet than toasted. It finishes dry so I'll give it that. Decent Americanized marzen.

12 oz. from Binny's. Hazy, kölsch-y pour, with a brief bit of fizzy foam. Light wheat malt nose, not much lemon apparent. Taste is kind of tart, as expected. Pretty zesty summer refresher. Lemon can't help but take over from the light taste of the base kölsch. Enjoyed pretty quickly.

From the brewer at Mountain Hops Brewhouse.

Pours almost a pitch black with a small head of foam. Some decent lacing.

The smell is pure peanut butter
peanut butter, some roasted malt, but peanut butter is dominant.

The taste is just like the smell. No deviation. It tastes like numerous peanut butter beers that I have had in the past. May
Maybe fresher?

The body is on the lighter side.

Nice.

Bottle/Fest. A- Boozy, cocoa, mild cinnamon. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Cocoa, mild booze. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, weak finish. O- Chocolate is there but cinnamon is mild. Really don't get much cinnamon or churro flavor. The tequila is just a general booze flavor. Okay at best.

Pour is a very dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is brown malt with a little milk chocolate. Flavor is a bit of roasted nut with some chocolate malt. With winter in the name I thought this would have a bit of spice but it's not to be. This is still an ok brown ale.
