Overall Impression: Solid tasting beer, hides the alcohol well, and has a solid blend of flavors. I definitely like the name too, as I always enjoy a bad pun.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a one finger off white head. The aroma is of sweet malt with some dark fruit and wheat. It tastes very sweet and a little fruity. The alcohol is really hidden under all that malt. I think there’s a little spice there too, but while good it’s so sweet that I thought subtleties were overwhelmed.

No head to speak of; reddish cola-coloured beer. Fruity nose, fruitcake with markedly pineapple - even canned pineapple - and alcohol in the background. More bitter in the flavour; again sweetish with fruit (pineapple) but set off by indistinct bitterness. Alcohol present, probably some fusels. Well bodied and slick, oily, some alcoholburn. It’s pleasing in a mile way, but - as exemplified by the pineapple, that is a very primary ester - complexity is not the main feature of this barely wine (pun intended). Thanks to DavidA!

Pitch black coloured body, slightly clear near the bottom, with a fast-dying brown head. Aroma of fresh hops, chocolate, central american coffee, cherries and roasted malt. Medium-bodied; Full taste of malt with very little of the stronger characteristics-this one is VERY light! Aftertaste is very clean. Some sweetness noticeable, but nothing bittering at all. Overall, not an Imperial Stout, and in fact you’d have no idea it was supposed to be one aside from the label and perhaps the body. More like a sweet stout than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Opera House Gourmet in Manassas, Virginia on 29-July-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Crystal orange coloured body with a super thin white head and no bubbles to speak of. Aroma of alcohol, malt, some curacao and a bit of spice. Medium-bodied; Medicinal flavour up front, fading to a malty mouthful with subtle spices and a tiny bit of sugar taste. Aftertaste mellows out after a while and leaves a bit of maltiness. Overall, a wierd marzen - not the typical oktoberfest beer, but some spice and malt still definitely noticeable. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 08-July-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Clear golden coloured body with a super-thin white head that fades fast. Aroma of wheat, corn, malt and a tiny amount of fruits. Medium-bodied; Strong wheaty taste with a large yeast flavour and some orange and lemon tastes as well. Aftertaste shows a bunch of malt, some spices and mostly sweet. Overall, a decent wheat - too much yeast and malt, but a good one to try from the region! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 29-October-2006.
