Reddish brown and cloudy....a bloody copper with a short lived head....sudsy lacing that slips down the glass to join the brew, as the breaks of a wave join the ocean....aroma is malted licorice, alcohol, and wheat bread....taste is smoky grain, alcohol taste present (but still well hidden)....sweet alcohol laced grains...the body is smooth with a tang

Bottle. Pine hops and caramel malt aroma. Dark amber color with large tan head and nice lacing. Moderate piney hops flavor - light caramel malt. Nice hoppy beer - basically what I’d expect an "Imperial ESB" to taste like - a malty I2PA.

Sampled at the Northern Virginia Brewfest. Poured an amber color. White head with slight lacing. Aroma is grainy. Flavor is pretty crisp, and overall not too bad of a finish.

Heavy with malts as it should be, this sweet pilsner is very enjoyable. Golden body with a small, white foamy head that quickly disappears. The aroma is grassy with hints of lemon and melon. Not a lot of hops presence. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, rich mouthfeel. Lively carbonation. Finish is sweet but refreshing. Nicely done.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light brown with light head. Aroma is nice, malty with a pine/juniper-ish background. Taste is very smooth, almost nutty caramel with a soft and nice hoppiness. Nice effort.

The body on this Oktoberfest was too thin to propel it beyond just average amid all the dozens of Oktoberfest/Marzens on the market. Clear amber/golden pour with a short beige head. Strong nose of malty sweetness, particularly toffee and caramel and some fruitiness. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. Moderate carbonation. Thin body and watery texture. Finish lingers with a sweetness.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Clear, dark brown with a tint of red and a creamy, beige head. Aroma of burned malt. Medium body with hard roasted - yet fairly sweet - malts. Almost candy-like with its underlying sweetness - and acidity. The bitterness is very subdued. but a pleasant one. 051007
