Pours an opaque brownish-black color with a thin beige head. Aroma of malt and nuts. Medium-bodied, and I was struck by a cinnamon flavor out of nowhere which made this an interesting Porter to say the least. Behnid the cinnamon were the more expected flavors of chocolate and malt. Finish still had some cinnamon, along with light hops and nuts. Overall pretty good, and I like the name too.

Served with a lemon. Pours a murky dark yellow with a thin white head. Light effervescence. Aroma is mostly fruity and very lightly hopped. Light bodied with a tangy fruit flavor, and very carbonated. Finish is sticky sweet. This could be better.

On draught at Carrabba's. Served in a frozen mug so I had to wait quite awhile before drinking. Pours an amber color with a thick light beige head. Aroma of light hops and honey. Flavor is not very robust and consists of roasted malt, caramel and honey again. Finish is slightly hoppy but mostly sweet. Average.

Nothing could ever compare to the Celebrator Doppelbock but this one made a good run at it. This is probably my favorite Elevator beer so far. It went wonderfully with steak! Almost black with minimal head. Aroma was hard to detect but it became easier to find as the beer warmed a little. Hints of coffee and almond. Flavor was rather complex and full-bodied. Slightly sweet toffee/coffee flavoring with a malty finish. Really good beer.

Me: Do you have any seasonal beers?
Waiter: Yes, we have a Vienna-Style Amber Lager.
Me: That sounds good, I'll have that.
Waiter: Here you go.
Me: By the way, what do you call this beer?
Waiter: Vienna-Style Amber Lager.
Me: No, I mean what is the name of it.
Waiter: Vienna-Style Amber Lager.
Me: Oh...
I didn't like this one as much as Great Lakes' Eliot Ness but it was still a good seasonal from the Elevator. Lack of creativity in naming it aside, it was not a bad beer at all. Dark amber color with medium bone white head and rather sticky lacing. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor was sweet and a little syrupy. I'll get this one again next year.

I was really surprised at the drinkability of this Pale. Just the right amount of hops make this a perfect beer to complement your meal or to enjoy at the bar or while playing pool. I wish they bottled this one. Nice amber color and minimal head/lacing. Smooth flavor, great beer.

Formerly known as Shifty Dando's. Very, very nutty! This was like drinking a peanut. Very sweet roasted aroma and nice color. Good lacing. The nutty flavor will really knock your socks off.

Rerate 3/07/06: This is the March selection in Elevator’s "MBA" program. Pours amber/orange with a medium thin off-white head and thin spotty lacing. Lots of malt and caramel in the nose. Medium-bodied with a nice smoothness. Sweet malt flavor is still pretty one-dimensional. There are just enough hops to keep it from being overly sweet. The finish is straightforward malt and lasts pretty well. Score remains the same.
6/03/02 (3.4): This used to be my favorite Elevator offering, but the last time I had it, the malty flavor was almost sickengly sweet by the time I got to the end of the glass. That aside, this is still a good beer, but I would suggest keeping it to one glass. Nice amber color and medium head with good lacing. Sweet, malty aroma.
