Oktoberfest from Rahr & Sons Brewing Company
9 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottled, from Total Wine & More, Plano North. Clear amber, rich firm head. Perfumy malt aromatic nose. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Flora and husky with notes of caramel. Sugar and dough crysal malt. Mid bitter finish. Typical American style interpretation of the style. Well executed as such. Lacking some of the malt softness and near infinite drinkability that is what separates the best festbiers from the crowd.

Winter Warmer from Rahr & Sons Brewing Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 7
Keg at Ginger Man, Plano. Cloudy deep mahogany colour, creamy head. Looking delicious! Caramel nose with some caramelized sugar. Sweet with full body and soft mouthfeel. Creme Brulee with notes of pine and pears, soothing spun sugar. Toffee and pine in a mid bitter finish with some husk. Rich and harmonious, perhaps cut down a tad on the caramel? Or not. It’s tasty as is.

The Rahr bombers have been a hit with me. First time out of the box with this one. Jeez, very nice. Complex. It displays great, dark brown with a healthy, lacy head. Smell is swell, all woody and spice. The taste is malt heavy, oak laden, a little caramel sweetness and a potent alcohol kick. Good job Fort Worth.

11th Anniversary from Rahr & Sons Brewing Company

8.1/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
I was surprised to see Rahr offer a bomber and then an imperial stout no less. Well done. Bought at Market Street and happy for the improving variety there. I poured it into a tulip glass to see the anticipated black body and a thin medium brown head. That nose is malt, bread and a small touch of fruit. The taste goes to chocolate, licorice and a nice dark plum sweetness. The coconut eludes me but whatever. This one helps explain why imperial stouts top the list for me.

3 year aged bottle shared. Pours a deep, mahogany brown with 2 fingers of foam. Toasted caramel light vanilla and cream soda.

Ugly Pug from Rahr & Sons Brewing Company

6.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Obtained with a number of other beers in a flight. Serves up very dark brown, almost black with a nice tan head. The scent is burned toast and I mean that as a compliment. A taste of the brew gives out smoke, molasses and more of that bread. Savoring it after swallowing I get a nutty finish, perhaps pecan. Black lagers with a higher alcohol kick do more for me. But I do not complain.

This brew pours a light red, I expected something a little bolder. And perhaps I anticipated a bolder taste too because of red ales I have had in the past. This Red is somewhat malty finishing with some caramel. Not going to reach out and grab you but not bad. But not a beer I will seek out. I prefer a more aggressive taste.
