Gives you a face only a mother could love. Not bad though.

12oz can. Filtered tan body. Frothy off-white head. Some off notes in the aroma, like some gross garbage from an off flavor sampler. Carries that same offness in the taste. Really poor brewing. Off notes got worse as I sipped at it. This brewery is dead to me.

Pitch black color. Massive bourbon, vanilla, oak, coconuts, dark chocolate, raisins and cherries in the nose. Thin body, too much ash, coffee and dark chocolate notes. Smooth but body clear isn’t up to par. Warming finish with vanilla and coconut lingering

Single can from Binny's. Pours big, slightly amber head. Warming smell of Vienna malts. Taste is big on malts with a slightly caramel roast. It takes a while for the hop not to build, but there it is, just a slight note of Noble hop pepper, and enough bitterness to "dry off" the sweetness. Hearty taste, but also easy drinking. You could fest with several mugs of this.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice doughy malt with some lemon like hops. Flavor is more of the bready malts. This has a really thick mouthfeel for a pilsner. Some grassy hops are detected as well. This was a decent Americanized pilsner.
