Black color. Nice milky aroma of roasted malt. Dry mouthfeel, with a milky roasted malt flavor, some dark chocolate too. Luckily the roasted malt is not too strong. Good.

Cloudy light amber color. Nice hoppy aroma, less malty and more fruity than the Camel Toe. Medium body strength, malty, extremely hoppy. Similar to Camel Toe, just less strong and sweet, but as much hopped, fruity, resiny. Excellent.

Hazy blond color; creamy head. It’s a sweetish Helles, with light malt flavor, light cereals and unfortunately also light chemicals. But not bad overall.

Tap at the Brew Pub, Chicago. When asked on the styles, this was described as an IPA. Pour is a nice hazy deep copper with a medium sized head that faded fairly quickly. Aroma is hops, mostly grapefruit and citrus. Taste starts with some citrus, rounds into a nice malt backbone/middle and finishes with a nice hop bitterness. Really nice beer, that went well with the meatball and banana pepper pizza I was working on. I actually do think this is closer to IPA than ASA, though not sure what the ABV is.

Tap at the Brew Pub, Chicago. Pour is clear golden with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is is really faint, but I get some fruitiness and a touch of earthiness. Taste is a nice, clean , slightly hopped brew. The finish has a bit of the dry bitterness I associate with Kolsch. Nothing complex with this one, though it was a great pair with my Pizza.

Draft at Piece. I’m told "Double D" refers to it being a "Double Dunkel Weizen." An Imperial Bock, if you will. Pours an intense dark body in a midget weizen glass. The head disappeared in the time it took me to try my "Dark Bier" taster. Big big big big big weizen smell. Taste is of a Bananas Foster, extra rum, please. Then there’s plenty of wheat beir texture, too. A little spice, a lot of alcohol, esters and a touch of dark malt. A Hacker-Pschorr’s evil twin. Finished with a touch of brandy aftertaste.
