Magisterium Maibock from Church Street Brewing Company

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Kaiser Tiger Chicago. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Bready aroma with some malt. Some jammy fruit on the finish not exactly a bock. But it's fine. Some decent malt. Bit fizzy

Can sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks David Cohen. Clear deep amber. Lots of apple (acetaldehyde) and minerals in the aroma, with plastic, mint hint. Sweet flavor with malt, apple, minerals, toast, bitterish finish. Light to medium-bodied.

Holy Cow Milk Stout from Church Street Brewing Company
8 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Pour is a motor oil black with almost no head at all. Aroma is a decent roast/char malt. Flavor is again a roasted and charred malt. Finish is light but leaves some roasted malt on the tongue. As a stout this is fine but this is totally missing the lactose sweetness you want to have in this style. Decent malt used but barley any lactose.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pour is a dark brown with some red highlights. Aroma is a dark fruit malt with some molasses. Flavor is a little roasty with some treacle and raisin. A little watery would be my only knock against the beer but this is pretty spot on for the style. Almost like an English style ale with a bit more bitterness.

Head in the Clouds from Church Street Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Pour is a hazy yellow with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is bready malt with some creamy yeast nutrients. Flavor is more of a heavy lager malt and a bittering finish. Decent beer, you defiantly get the unfiltered malt and yeast presence.
