Next gem out of the treasure box from kappldav123. Thanks a lot mate! Great bottle design and label art. Dark red brown in the glass, smallest to no head as expected. Malt and rum on the nose, but not boozy. Taste starts woody, dark malt and increasing rum, now getting smooth alcoholic. Berry fruits in the background. Really nice balanced stuff with drinkability. Beer of the night.

Again thanks a lot to kappldav123 for this 0,33 l swing top bottle. Murky flat amber in the glass, some bigger sediments. One finger foamy head. Salty caramel smell with some honey and vinegar. Starts starts also fruity, winery with salty background. Smooth and slick. Little bit tard. Low carbonated. Nice interpretation.

Bottle from trade with Rauchbierlover. Dark brown with beige head. Smoke, dark malt, light caramel in aroma. Taste, dark malt, caramel, smoked malt. Good.

unusually shaped bottle, many thanks to kappldav123! Deep amber colour, mid-sized off-white head. Aroma of rum, wood and vanilla. Spicy malty start, shy but detectable alcoholic background, nice rum flavours and a touch of wood, some dried fruits and a lovely smooth carbonation.

Bottle from the brewery. Strange bottle format, but looks good. Beer in the glass amber coloured, small head. Intense malty alcoholic aroma. Starts strong, but not as alcoholic as exspected. Some woody notes, some fruity hints as well. Some dried fruits. Finish warming-malty, well balanced. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Darker brown. Aroma is smoked ham some thick caramel brown sugar and hints of red berries. Taste is sweet caramel malt with a base of umami smoke. Rich. A little minerally. Slight metallic aftertaste. Ok.

Can. Bronze beer with a dark cream head. Caramel aroma. Caramel and light hay flavor,. Medium boidied. Caramel and light hay lingers with light toffee.

Fairly clear deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre to two centimetre tall, just off-white head that fades fast, but leaves a small layer on top, even after a few minutes. Aroma of metal, nuts, earth, caramelised sugars, light grain, some flowers and a dash of herbal notes, but relatively crisp throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp malty and herbal flavours show with a lot of grain, nuts, earth and some subdued hoppiness with a very low alpha acid punch, but showing some citrus and piney bite in addition to the floral and grassiness that is stronger. Aftertaste shows some mellow sugars from caramelised sugar and toffee with a lightly toasted grain note, but more of the malts than hops and only a touch of earthy, rustic flavours. Overall, a pretty nice Vienna with some dry, herbal notes along with a light citrusey component and a balanced, strong bite more from the malts than hops, but nice and robust throughout. I sampled this 50 cL can, from Day #4 of the Costco 2020 Advent Calendar, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-December-2020.

Caramel malt and hay aroma. Amber with giant off-white head. Mildly sweet caramel malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Decent, straight forward beer.

Day 4 from the Woodland CostCo Advent box. Pours ruddy amber with a large creamy/foamy beige head. Toffee aroma with a grassy note. Med body. Flavor is rather heavy toffee with grass/spice. Not dry, but not sticky. Somewhat bitter. Suddenly I realize it's fairly smoky. Was hidden by the malt for awhile. Actually very tasty.
