Rated from old notes. Unique, almost creamy taste. Lots of caramel and malt. A dark lager with a smooth, rich taste. Slightly more body would improve the rating.

I couldn’t find this one on the site. I believe it was only released for a limited time. I only saw it once when I lived in Baltimore. Very sweet amber. Copper pour. Nose and taste is caramel, malts and spruce. Rated 2/19/03Earlier Rating: 5/5/2010 Total Score: 3.1Beer is mostly malt in taste and aroma. It works as a pub ale, but I wouldn’t rush to the store to get it. Rated 3/21/03

Bought in Spring 2004, at Glenville Bev. in Scotia NY. Hazy red copper colour with a thin off-white head. Nice caramel and cherry/red licorice in aroma, notes of cinnamon hearts candies. Sweet malt with nice spicy notes, some light oxidation, not bad considering the bottle is 1 year old!

2004 bottle. Pours quite brown, that’s for sure. Very homogenous brown color, milky almost, but not unfiltered or bottle conditioned it seems. Small tan head. Aroma of malt, malt and more malt. Lots of chewy sweet, brown sugar-like malt, some caramel and nuttiness, rich and fully sweet. Flavor however, takes the sweetness to a new level. It’s all I really taste, thick, almost syrupy, definitely cloying. It strikes a caramel/brown sugar malt note and just keeps on droning along with it. Ok, I’m ready for some balance, dryness, roastiness, anything? Nope, syrupy sweet caramel malts are all I get. Good medium body for a dunkel, low carbonation. Ok, off to the drain you go.

The aroma is light with notes of roasted malt and sweetness. The color is light brown and it has a small head. The flavor is dry with notes of caramel and malt.

Golden brown colour. Hints of molasses, brown bread crust. Dry brown malt notes (though I doubt they use it in a dunkel). Rather thin, though. Toasty, minerally finish. Disappointing given my previous experiences with this brewery.

tap- hazy gold with again barely any aroma, very timid bananas and wheat which doesnt get you much attention. Crisp and light bodied, good for summer afternoons.

Very hazy amber colour with a thin tan head. Potent aroma of bananas, cloves and yeast. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong malty flavour with the added aformentioned sweetness. Aftertaste shows a lot of spiceyness: cloves, coriander seed and nutmeg. Overall, a nice weizen bock from the Mid-Atlantic! I had this on draught at the Pizza Plant in Buffalo, New York.
