Bottled (under license by Fredericks Brewing). Dark ruby, rich head. Grapefruity hoppy nose. Clean mouthfeel. there's some crystal malt and loads of toffee. Velvetty, yet bitter, finish with spun sugar and pine needles.

Decent stout appearance, though lacking in the kind of head one might expect - huge coffee aroma - flavor of bitter sweet cocoa, even a hint of caramel, and of course coffee - good, but not stand-out.

Decent flavor, but somehow way out of balance - the finish is like alcohol and concentrated vitamin solution - that totally ruins it for me.

A decent take on the style - yeasty aroma, dark red color, zero head - mildly sweet flavor, with hints of grapes, grain, slight grassiness - vinous a bit - sticky, malty finish - good, but lack a certain depth that most American-made belgians do.

Not a very hoppy IPA, but if you put that aside, this is a pretty tasty beer - dark copper/red in color, with a dense, off-white head - intense aroma of oak (I imagine myself in a lumberyard when I close my eyes) - flavor, as I stated, is not very hoppy, but this is made up for with a heavy maltiness very uncharacteristic of the style, but quite enjoyable anyway - woodiness from aroma comes back in the finish, and the hops come to the front a bit - this is bottle conditioned, and has a flavor about it that leads me to believe that it will age very well.

Orangey golden colour with a decent (1 centimetre in height) slightly off-white head. Smells of a bit of hops, the malt background and a bit of citrus all are major players in the aroma. Medium to Light-Bodied; Subtle flavours, a bit of hops balanced across about the same amount of malt and tied together with some subtle spices and that pertinent citrus. Aftertaste is a bit acidic and a bit clean and refreshed. A pretty good beer, and one of the better for the style! Worth trying if you live in the Mid-Atlantic region and can pick one up! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia.

Bottle Date: 29-January-2003
Dark amber colour with a very dense tan head--this is the way an IPA should look! Aroma purely of very high a.a. hops--a hop-head's favourite smell! One of the best smelling IPA's i've ever come across, this one has definately been dry-hopped for a while! Medium-bodied; No carbonation in the taste, a strong sweetness initially followed by a subtle hoppiness which gets stronger as it sits in your mouth. It seems that the hops are stale or old, but the ones used for dry-hopping are still great! Overall, I was expecting much more, so I will definately try another bottle and compare it to this. Definately try this beer if you live in the Mid-Atlantic region! I bought this 765 mL bottle from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia and sampled it on 31-August-2003.

Fantastic brown colour with a nice dense off-white head which seems to last for a bit. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, malt and caster sugar. The initial taste is very metallic followed by a bit of the aromas picked up in the smell. The aftertaste is purely malty with little else. The appearance and aroma are simply great, and I expected the taste to be equally as good, but unfortunately it wasn't. A decent beer, but not as good as it could have been. Worth trying if you can find...because Stoudt's doesn't bottle too many 12 ouncers! Overall it is an average Marzen, but there are many better beers that you could try...so pass this up unless you've had all the better ones from the Mid-Atlantic region. I bought my twelve ounce bottle from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia.

Why does this remind me of their Anniversary lager? Anyway, has a dark red/brown body, with a thin tan head. Aroma of cereal grains and roasted malt. Flavor is dominated by semi-sweet roasted malts and cereals. Finishes dry like their Dunkel. A hefty price to pay for an average stout.

Bottled. Orange colour, cloudy, firm head. Honey aroma, Sweet and mild with clean mouthfeel and a sugary finish with a good punch of alcohol. More like a strong Russian lager than a bock.
