Tap at Genesee Brewhouse. Malty nose, caramel and grains. Very sweet caramel flavor, lighly roasted, light grain, some husks. Too sweet and simple.

Bottle. A- Sweet, cocoa, malty. A- Black color, dark liquid, minimal tan head. T- Cocoa, chocolate, malty, sweet. P- Medium body, thin texture, high carbonation, sweet finish. O- This was the oddest stout I’ve ever had. Then again, all Dundee beers defy normality and not in a good way. A strange sweetness swept over my palate and left me wondering what the hell I was drinking.

Bottle. A- Slightly sweet, cereal, biscuits. A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, no head. T- Slightly sweet, watery, subtle honey. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, crisp finish. O- Pretty boring and not much going on at all. I had this less than 12 hours ago and struggle to remember anything at all about it, it was so unexciting.

Bottle. A- Malty, biscuits, slightly sweet. A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, no head. T- Malty, caramel, biscuits, bready, cereal. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- I’m not sure what Dundee does but I’m pretty sure they bottle one beer under several different labels. The IPA, Kolsch, and this all look the exact same and don’t differ much in taste either. Just a very boring and not so good beer.

Bottle. A- Malts, subtle grass, subtle citrus, cereal. A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, no head. T- Watery, slight citrus, subtle bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, boring finish. O- If this is an IPA, then I am not sure what an IPA is anymore. More like an odd lager that is not very good. I don’t think there is much else to say.

This was poured into a pilsner glass.
The appearance was a decent light clear yellow color with fast rising carbonation filling a one finger white foamy head. There is some lacing but generally, it slides and doesn’t stick.
The smell had some light Pilsner malts with a nice crisp sweetness about it.
The taste was slightly sweet but crisp.
The palate, it sat pretty light and showed a great deal of sessionability about it. The carbonation was fairly sharp but not overly done.
Overall, not a bad pilsener. I’d probably have it again, but probably not seek it out either.

This was always poured into a pilsener whenever I had it.
The appearance was a golden amber color that showed a decent transparency about it and allowing some carbonation to be seen rising. The head was about a finger’s thick and was white. Once that died, there was some light foamy lacing.
The smell was a malty sweet caramel breadiness.
The taste was sweet allowing the caramel breadiness to give off a slight toasty sort of effect.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light to medium on the body allowing a decent sessionability running about it. The carbonation seemed fairly smooth.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good beer, but my lack of reviews for Maibocks says this was good for me.

I recently found the notes of this.
I poured this into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow body with a fluffy one finger white head. There was no lacing. Slowly moving bubbles surfaced.
The smell was a combination of malts and wheat, a slight bit of citrus came in close to the end.
The taste was the wheat in front with the malts and citrus combined nicely and taking second place.
On the palate, it sat about a medium, was sessionable, and the carbonation is felt.
Overall, this was not a bad beer. It was just mostly average. I might have this again.

Into a pint glass, I poured this.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipates at a decent pace. There was no lacing observed anywhere on the sides of the glass.
The smell had some light dark roasted chocolates pervading through a rich bitter coffee aroma.
The taste was basically the same with no aftertaste and a quick dry coffee-like finish.
On the palate, it sat a diligent medium on the body. There was a complete assurance on my part how this beer just stayed the same all the way through. I liked that. Sessionability - hmmm....well, perhaps, I could sense that there was a decent sessionable quality to this beer. The carbonation seemed fitting for the style and there was nothing obscure to me.
Overall, this is not a bad American Porter, perhaps not one to really go nuts about, but worthy of throwing back if one ever sees it.
