Deep red-brown body, thick light tan head. Earthy, toasty aroma with a skunky twang. Flavor is light, toasty and surprisingly tangy with hints of baker’s chocolate and yeast. There isn’t too much to like about this beer, and I suspect it is somewhat light-damaged.

Clear copper body, medium cream head. Aroma of toast, brown sugar, and bread with earthy highlights. Flavor was not too different from the Mai-Ur-Bock with dark sugars (caramel), toast, and a bit more bitterness than the aformentioned beer. Less "round" than the Mai-Ur-Bock finishing with grassy, peppery hops. Not a Dunkel.

Clear straw-amber body, medium off-white head. Cerealy aroma with hints of caramel and a grassy hops kick (a touch of skunk too). Body has some burnt sugars, caramel, and a grassy, zesty hops finish. Leaving this on the tongue leaves a metallic twang. A couple steps above macro-lagers but still along those lines.

Golden color. Very nice malty/honey aroma. Smooth, low carbonation, malty, with a good and strong ending bitterness; also with a brown sugar and caramel touch.

A light yellow beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw. The flavor is sweet malty with signs that it is over the top, so I give it credit for being ½ a years past best-before-date.

Copper/orange coloured body with a minimal whiteish head. Aroma of some fruit, but otherwise powerful bittering scents. Medium-bodied; Strong flavour of fruit and malt lasts in the mouth for a long while. Aftertaste shows some bitterness and a slight sweetness. Overall, not a great beer, but that is to be expected from this brewery. I shared this bottle with Phil (haddon90) at the Flying Saucer in Nashville, Tennessee...thanks Phil!

Nice dark brown with what seem to be some dark greens/greys. Interesting color I havent seen much of. Small fizzy head, very clear body. Aroma of hops (hallertauer possibly), and some faint yeast. Begins with a zip of carbonation and has hints of cane sugar, anise and hops. Pretty crisp finish with a slightly chewy body that is prone to thinning as it warms. A good beer, but as has been said, nothing terribly unique.
