Bottled at RBESG-06, GTN. Clear, reddish brown, with an off-white head. Caramel and malt in the aroma and flavor, the flavor being a bit more sugar-sweet. Sweet finish, smooth and dryish roasted. A nice Italian job. (060826)

Hey, who’s that guy drinken my dark beer on the front? Just a little more bitter initially than I expected but.....Did you ever smell fresh crisp italian bread when you crack it open? Well, that’s how my beer smelled when I cracked the lid. When I tasted it, I saw waves of green white and red, all mixing together. Then. in the background I thought I heard some one asking ’kah-peesh’? Just a little aftertaste bitter. I was hoping to end my search for an exclusive beer before 100, but no, I’m gonna keep looken. Though a good beer, Schells carmel back is much better for this style.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma of malts, some alcohol and roast. Flavour is alcohol, malts, a bit caramel and then a nice smooth hoppy finish. A bit salty, otherwise very pleasant.

Bottled. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma of hay, harsh grass and some skunkyness. Minor flavour, almost full of nothing. A bit malts and hops, that’s it. Clean, but watery.

Bold golden yellow color with relatively no head at all. Taste is not offensive like some pale lagers, but rather understated. What I’m trying to say is that there is no real taste other than water and a bit of corn. Very thin body...

[Bottled] Clear golden. Strong grainy aroma. Papery with extreme tinny metal flavour. Very thin, sharp and unpleasant. There is absolutely nothing to cover that sharp metal flavour. Like licking a sword...

Bottled (BB 02/2007). Rating #2600. Dark amber color, creamy tan head. Toasted sugar, malt aroma. Medium-bodied. Toasted malts and sugar also in the flavor. Hides ABV quite well. I am not very excited about this (doppel)bock.
