Not a lot of soul, but man does that duck-rabbit have a spiffy hat. Sweet toasted caramel malts flare up and die down too swiftly, then the mildly bitter finish fades fast. Looks good, tastes average.

Maple syrup and smoke nose. Clear ruby brown, thin yellow head. Sweet malty cherries, wood, smoke. Full body, soft carbonation. Damn good example of the style.

Pour is a dark brown-red with a large tan head. Aroma is a real nice toasted bready malt with some notes of caramel. Flavor is toasted bread a bit watery and it finishes dry with a touch of sweetness. A fine example of the style. This brewer does not make a bad beer.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours into my Indians pint glass (Go Tribe, game 3!) dark brown, possibly slightly murky - hard to tell due to darkness - with a small beige head. Aroma is roasted bitter malt, caramel, grass. Flavor is toasted caramel malt, grasses, molasses, milk chocolate, alcohol, tiny hint of cola.

Bottle poured into a pilsner showing pitch black with coffee black rims and very sparse latte colored foam. The nose shows a lactose sweet note throughout on top of a bed of roasted malts. The palate is light bodied with light carbonation. Immediate subtle lactose sweetness appears but closer to a soybean-like sweetness. Barely any bitterness. A bit thin on flavor all around and a very simple milk stout.

12 ounce bottle. Pours an amber / copper color with a medium-sized creamy beige head. Aroma is toasted malt with caramel and brown bread. Upfront, flavor is sweet toasted malt. Hints of caramel and toasted bread. Light bodied, yet flavorful. Floral hop finish. Overall, a bit light for an Oktoberfest beer.

Bottle from 2006-2010. 12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is oxidized, with bready malt, toasted caramel and light sweetness. Flavour has quite a lot of alcohol, with caramel and dark fruits. Fairly oxidized, but not too intrusively so. Decent for such an old beer.

Caramelized malt and mash. Brown pour with decent head. Sweet and boozy finish. Good for style. Bottle.
