Their regular altbier. Copper, lots of spalt on the nose, slight mineral character, chalky body. Similar to some of the lighter alts, like Schumacher.

Copper, full malt palate, well-balanced but lacking that something extra I'd like to see in a stickebier. Double Bag it is not.

Reddish brown. Somewhat sweetish, but, thick, powerful and well hopped. A good barley wine.

Nut brown and hazy. Acidic and fresh with nice butterscotch aroma. A great weizenbock!

Hay coloured, hazy, thick head. Yeast, blueberry and acid on the nose; wheaty, lightly fruity taste; restrained acidity helps to dry it out. Good for what it is.

A bit dark for a pils. Nice almost medium body, with good head. I found it rather dry, like a North German pils. Quite drinkable. An excellent choice for a pils.

Amber color, but lightish. Smooth but lightish body. Sweetish aroma with a little caramel hint. Flavor is slightly toffeish and caramel - but understated. Has all the hints of a great marzen but at slight quantities.

This had the appearance and name of a dark lager, but totally tasted like a dark english ale: buttery diacetyl out the wazoo. A bit out of place in a German lager. Still, it was really nice tasting. Brownish red color with lasting white head. Sweetish toffeeish buttery aroma.

Hazy golden-bronze; monstrous malt nose with toast, some peachiness and crackerlike influences; chewy, malty palate - caramelly, earthy tones, hint of phenols.

Nicely refreshing, with some light esters of banana and clove. Fairly acidic, with a nice tartness...perhaps overly so?
