An opaque brown beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by banana. The flavor is of wheat and with slight notes of roasted malt and banana.

Acquired via trade. This beer is dark brown/copper with a thin light tan head. Very little lacing. The aroma is very sweet with caramel, raisins and malt. Medium-bodied and chewy with a flavor that is very unique. It has some aspects of a Barley Wine, a Scotch Ale, and a Bock. Syrupy sweet with malt, molasses, raisins and brown sugar. There is a faint woody character at times too. The finish continues the sweetness but there is a bit of hops bitterness there. I am really unfamiliar with this style but I like it.

Bottle. Light banana and malt aroma. Yellow-tan color - clear with moderate head. Sweet banana and malt flavor - strong for a Kristall. Decent body for a Kristall as well. A very nice Kristall-Weizen.

Bottle. A strong coffee-dark chocolate malt aroma - slightly tannic reminiscent of a doppelbock. Dark reddish brown color with little head. Initial flavor of creamy chocolate and a slightly smoky coffee malt finish - mild hops throughout. NIce drinkable Schwarzbier.

This brew is a dark brown cola color with a medium thick beige head and fair lacing. Smoky aroma, with some roasted coffee and caramel. Medium-bodied and earthy with flavors of hops, toasted malt and smoke. The finish is carbonated and mildly bitter. All in all a decent Schwarz.

Fresh hop nose. Light golden, foamy head. Nice hop profile, good bitterness and some aromahops. Solid body sparkly mouthfeel and a lingering note of aromahops. Better than expected. My father tells me it wan’t as god last time he tried it,so freshness might be an issue.

Pours a almost dark red with a big white head. Aroma is kind of nutty with some smokyness in there. Flavor is malty and nutty carmel but also very thin,watery and bland. Its ok, very drinkable and smooth.
