From a 3$ pounder can, absconded from Chalet Premier. Pour is virtually clear pale but an ever so slight haze. Big white foamy head goes craggy. Some pine tar aroma. First swig? Whew, this is one big fat terrible tommy tit twat tosspot thundercunt. Think; rotting green grapefruit rinds mixed with diesel, pine tar and an old rubber inner tube, run thru a juicer. Yes, its really dead on style, one 350 pound lard ass nasty nellie. Mouthcoating brew, seething out and all about the inside of my pie hole. How rude, well, I never. Yass, the best thing about this is the good head and the nose. Blah blah black bampot bastard bear trap bitch. In the end its a fagtard fatass fellatio feltching flamer. There, you have it. Now what? Well, if you like IPA, you need a fresh can of this in yer bucket list, hehehehh.

So, my german wife says zungenbrecher means tongue twister in english. Pounder can for 3 bucks at chalet. Pour is perfectly clear orange brown. Nose is malty and the head is craggy. Quite strong and boozy on the uptake, some undue sweetness but not quite cloying. However, as I approach the middle, it is gaining a more boozy attitude as well as additional cloying sweetness. I'm left hoping the 8% will calm my nerves a bit to ignore the excessive sweet sentimentality. It also tends to get a bit mouthcoating. In the end, I'm glad this bomb is coming to the epilogue. It certainly is strong and it proves itself with the in yer face alky and sweetness but it will never live up to good examples like Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg Asam Bock, Peter Straub 20 Rock Doppelbock or even Troeg's Troegenator. There, you have it; straight from the horse's mouth of a macro lager lover, hehehh.

Pour from a $3 pounder can is clear pale with a big foaming lasting white head. Nose is quite citrusy hop and pils-like. First taste is like pilsner too, very bitter & pointed pilsner! Quite sharp, lots of hop bite, bordering on india pale pilsner. Yes, super sharp pilsner bite that hangs for quite a while after each big swig. What a blast, almost medicinal in nature. Almost difficult in the middle. I'd say these hops are not so nobile, hehehehh. Sharpness drifts toward rubbery flavor near the end. I think the bitterness almost makes it way to crisp; snappily brittle. If this is what NZ pilsners taste like, you can keep em for yerself, over on yer island. Probably the aroma of this bomb is the best characteristic. Rated this clear down in the bottom of my pile near war pigs Light in the black, Lancaster Pilsner & Big timber logger .There, you have it.

Pounder can from chalet for 3$. Pour is big an black like a darker rootbeer, same with head, like a rootbeer. Nose is friendly roasted malts. Taste initially is pretty good, quite dry, with a mild burnt bitterness rising from within. Decent example of a dry stout. Seems to have more alky than what is listed. In the middle the bitterness is increasing and I'm getting tones of old damp partially burned campfire wood. Decent co2 makes it a little more interesting. Towards the end the bitterness is still on the rise, almost gets in yer face but don't quite get there.

Draft pour, dark amber. Smells like a pumpkin spice candle. Not really my speed, a little too synthetic tasting for me. Hints of pumpkin and pumpkin spices. Like a store bought pumpkin pie.

Draft pour, clear light gold. Light pineapple aroma. Fairly basic but not bad. Light notes of lemon oil and pineapple.
