Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clear copper with a finger of off-white foam that dissipates. Bready malt aromas with some light peppery hop aromas as it warms. More of the same on the palate. Very drinkable, lighter in body. Smooth finish with toasted malt with a light touch of noble hop bite.

Pretty spicy under the cap. Pours a deep reddish brown, with a fizzy off-white head. I get the regular spices that go into pumpkin spice beer; cinnamon, a little nutmeg. The malt is deeper than the usual pumpkin spice, though. And then there's a side of ginger. The alcohol is a basic 6%, so there's a lot of malt sweetness left. That would make this more of a beer for a main course when doing holiday meals, or a pre-meal. Probably a little too sweet to go along with a Christmas dinner dessert.

Bottle: Clear, dark amber with a huge, smooth, beige head. Caramel, nut, aroma. Taste is sweet and nutty, caramel malt. Really enjoyable.....

Lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with small white head. Mildly sweet light lemon, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body. Very nice.

Nutty toffee malt and fresh hay aroma. Dark amber with large tan head. Mildly sweet nutty toffee malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Light body. A decent amber ale.

bottle had in Northern MIchigan. Okay IPA - the hops are intense, without much cirtus to balance. decent overall

12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of lemon, pear, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale/wheat malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of lemon, pear, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of pale/wheat malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is a delicious Kolsch style! All around nice robustness of pale/wheat malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Really nicely rich clean Pils/wheat malt showcase; mild earthy hop balance and restrained yeast fruitiness. A bit more malty than expected; but a very enjoyable offering, and great style example.

On tap, source. Darker iced tea color. First taste is not 8%, hides alky well. Quite malty overall. Well behaved for such a high ABV brew. Doppel, yet not in yer face. Stands up to any doppel from the old county. One of the better dops I have had. Right up there with Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock, Tr�egs Troegenator Doublebock, Atwater Voodoo Vator Doppelbock & Straub Doppelbock

This is not retired, just had it at the source. Darker. Barely any smell. Brown like darker iced tea. Taste is quite mellow, fer sher, civilized none the less, pretty good impression. Perhaps a tad of tartness on the finish, welcomed. Yes, overall enjoyable irish brew.

Big & black. Smooth easy feeling stout. Better than expected, I guess many of the beers I had here were better than expected! Has an attractive roasty nose, yes. Low co2, but its enjoyable and isn't that what a stout is to be anyhow? Easy dark beer fun, thanks! A little bit of medicine on the finish.
