Light amber color. Thin head. Butter popcorn and caramel dominate nose. Over powering with the dyctyle through out with a big caramel finish. Pass, this is not my type of beer.

Draft: Pitch black color, frothy brown head, dark chocolate nose. Not too strong. Silky smooth mouth with dark chocolate, whisky, cherries and a touch of nuttiness. Palate is very smooth, but lacking roasted character I wanted. Smooth chocolatey finish.

Bottled. Clear golden, rich head. Dry rye bread aroma. Medium bodied with crisp dryness and gently soft mouthfeel. Plenty of grassy hops to accomapny the lovely maltiness makes this a top pilsener. Finishes with lingering pleasant bitterness.

Dark golden color. Rye, whisky, wheat in the nose. This is much more of a rye wheat than anything. Like spritzy body that has the esteriness of a hefe, but the spiciness of the rye really adds character and dries things out. Very thrist quenching. Love it.

Muddy amber color. Bubblegum, clovess and milk chocolate in nose. Banana split, clovey mouth that is relatively well balanced. Slightly tart, chocolately finish. Nice. Haven’t tried for ten years and wow, it’s even better than before. Really well balanced, malty and never sweet or cloying. Excellent

Cloudy reddish-chestnut colour. Big, flowery, estery aroma of roses, banana, plums and hints of bubblegum and pear. A lot of stuff going on here. Highly floral and bananaish character, with hints of caramel malts and a touch of balancing acidity (I hate to say that because people might think the beer is tart - it’s not - but the acidity is the only thing keeping this from being super-cloying). It’s definitely a weizenbock...a fairly simple one, though.

Dark straw colour. Rich bready aroma notes with alcoholic spiciness. Somewhat light - the rich, bready goodness promised in the nose is obscured by a fresh mountain waterfall. Slightly malty and alcoholic finish.

Dark straw colour. Low visible carbonation and no head. Bready malt aroma - slightly honeyish, slightly cidery. Flavour is sweetish with a slight huskiness and a further hint of cider. Wet body. Finish is the cleanest these pale malts have been all beer.

Bottled, thanks IslandHaole! Dark brown, small head. Medium dry with soft mouthfeel.There’s chocolate, coffee and paper as well as grassy hops and solid malt, plus some pine needles. Medium bitterness. Fairly hoppy for a schwarzbier.
