On draught at the brewpub, this is the December selection in Elevator’s "PHD" program. The beer is a dark mahogany-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a dense film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, dark fruit and yeast. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, raisins and earthy yeast. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

On draught at the brewpub, this is the November selection in Elevator’s "PHD" program, and my 100th Elevator beer. The beer pours a slightly hazy dark brownish-amber color with a medium thin light beige head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is oaky with bourbon, malt and fruit notes. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky vanilla, bourbon, roast malt and fruit. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Solid beer all around.

12 oz. bottle. Dark, hazy brown color, with a medium, tan head. The nose is caramel, ripe apples, cinnamon, pumpernickel, and cloves. Sweet and malty, with a good hop bitterness in the finish. Medium to heavy body, sticky, syrupy, and a little clingy. This is a nice, solid maerzen. The body is a little too heavy, and the flavor is a little too bitter, but still a nice beer.

From a bottle plenty of rolling co2 makes for a nice show. Big head that hangs. Smell is not bubble gum and its a little off from banana. Taste is perhaps a little aged, 4/42/15 but still comes across quite refreshing after a long day. Finish is not bad. Lots of powdery sediment on the bot’s bottom.

Sample at the North Market Ohio Craft Beer Festival on 09/12/2015. Hazy bright yellow color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with a mildly tart orange character and notes of wheat and doughy malt. The finish is fruity with an orange and lemon aftertaste. Decent overall.
