This was on tap at the brewery in Hermann. It was not even advertised as the pomegranate, I happened to overhear the bartender telling someone else about it. After inquiring myself, I was informed it was an experiment that the brewery was playing around with. Unfortunately, it was not my bag of tricks. The Hefe itself was not as estery as I would like, muddled. The pomegranate syrup was not sweet but grainy, just did not add anything to the beer I liked. It was light, well attenuated, good crisp body but not as Hefe-fy as I like it and the pomegranate (which I would never have guessed was even added) didn’t play out well or work with the beer.

Sampler at the brewpub, in a plastic cup. This is a nice beer at first, very hoppy.... assertive and aggressive. Its mostly herbal and floral hops. Well attenuated thus highlighting the hops. However, and the ratings seems to be circulating around this, a diacetyl aspects arises as the beer warms. Not the worst level but not working with this beer at all. 7.3.6.3.13

12oz bottle poured into a large Fischer tulip glass. Dark brown color, too dark to see through but no sediment. Small head fades quickly. Aroma is well lagered with earthy clean malts and some dry cocoa. Flavor has a slightly spritzy element getting in the way a bit, which leads to a bit of a mineral flavor within sweet yet clean well lagered dry maltiness. So, its pretty much right to style without anything special. Its very drinkable, well made... good stuff. It wont blow you away but its a solid, well made American doppelbock, can’t say that too often.

12 oz bottle purchased at The Wine and Cheese Place in St Louis, Missouri. Pour is slight haze straw golden with a billowing three inch pure white head. Falls slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is a soft fresh cracker malt, along with mild breadiness. In the back is a zippy hoppiness and mineral. Clean and fresh nose. Taste is the cracker malt, followed close behind by a pleasant fruit sweetness, and finishing dry with the hops and mineral. As with the nose, fresh and clean. The palate is light bodied, with nice active carbonation and an unfiltered mouth feel. Dry finish, really drinkable. I really enjoy the beers Tin Mill makes, they really know what they are doing.

Sample or two at the 2009 Parkville Microbrew Fest. Pour is clear copper with a smallish, thin white head. Aroma of toasty malt, and mild sugar sweetness. There is also a dustiness to it that is hard to explain. Taste is almost all about the toasted malt graininess, with only an edge of the sweetness near the back. Palate is thin, and decent carbonation. A bit one dimensional, but really super drinkable.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with some sugary sweetness. Flavor is a strong roasted malt and a hint of chcolate. The only thing that was missing was some dark fruit aspect that i love in most dopples. Still this was decent just not spot on the style.

Pour is a dark brown with a white head. Aroma is caramel malts and not much else. The flavor is a whole lot better. Lots of caramel malts greets you and then comes a nice overall roasted quality that stays with you after the swallow. A very ’’roasted’’ marzen for sure.

Pour is a dark yellow with a large white head. Aroma is typical pils malt with some grassy hops. Flavor is litghter on the malts than the skyscraper but there is deffinatly a nice biscuit quality to this one. A decent and easy drinking pils and something you can session easy.

Pour is a amber with a large white head. Aroma is caramel malts and some dark fruit. Flavor is a bit heavy and grainy with some of the caramel malts from the aroma carrying over. A pretty good examole of the style.
