Got this from RaulMondesi. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 2/19/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of pear, red apple, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of pils malt/grains, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of pear, red apple, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pear, red apple, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of pils malt/grains, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, not overly fruity/yeasty. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is an excellent cream ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of pils malt/grains, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesomely clean pils malt/grain showcase; with balancing earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast complexity. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and awesomely spot on style example.

Bottle pour@1420, Copenhagen - black pour with a tan head. Sweet dark roasted malty with rich chocolate and sweet caramel notes offered, some vanilla and coconut accents throughout, full body, resonating lingering bourbon into the dark malty finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Remy's Pappy on 26 Mar 2025 at 11:47 - Score: 8

Bottle @ Windin' and Grindin' in Grindsted, 2017. Pours black with a creamy beige head and lacings. Roasted coffee, chocolate and oak. Vanilla. Complex and smooth mouthwatering sipper. Woo-Hah - Got My Ass - In Check!

Bottle shared by Benzai, 2013 version, 25 cl sample. Oily black color, short frothy head. Aroma of roast, bourbon and a bit licorice, some coffee. Sweet in taste, vanilla, bourbon, roast. Big sipper. Great stuff.

Bottle [fom trade, thanks to whoever sent me this!!] shared with Caesar and Skortila. Opaque black color, decent sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, bourbon, light molasses. Taste malts, bourbon, molasses, alcohol, some vanilla, sweetish lightly. Overall, a bit too boozy, just not that wow factor. Still a lovely beer though.
