I'll do you one better, cranes - I didn't care for this at all. Light copper, sugary, ever so slightly cidery. Sweet, flowery, bubblegummy and very sugary. No balance.

Dark brown. Big burly aroma is very appetizing. Nice bready taste, with hints of chocolate in the relatively dry finish. Slightly fizzier than I would like but overall this is tasty.

Dark brown; toasty, a little thin, has a whole grain bread crustiness to it. A decent porter, but nowhere near making it as a stout.

Light bronze; aroma like chocolate chip cookie dough, with slight notes of smoke and rye (whiskey); evenly balanced, malty palate - firm, but finishing dry and smooth. Well-made. Perfect for rainy days in May.

Intense, complex maltiness. Loads of flavour. One of the world's best schwarzbiers.
