Cloudy golden color with creamy head. Strange Ale, a bit biscuity and fruity (pear), with correct bitterness.
Linear and pleasant.

Deep copper and amber coloured body with a hint of ruby-tinted brown as well, all with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, toasted malt, alcohol and a bit of nuts. Medium-bodied; Rich flavour of toasted malt, alcohol, grain, rye, nuts and heaps of caramelised sugars - very nice and pungent. Aftertaste shows a big malt character with hints of nuts and rye and some subtle sweetness to finish it off. Overall, a nice beer for the style with a little sweetness at the end - very rich as well. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 30-March-2014 for US$3,99 sampled at home in Washington on 19-August-2014.

22oz Bottle shared with no one, drank on 7th July 2014 at mt daughters place in Newport Beach CA. Not like any other ’Vienna Style Ale’ I have come across before. Poured a hazy orange with a scummy white head, the sediment keen to get out the bottle. Slight malty sweetness followed by a sour off-ish sort of aroma and taste: infected yeast or something? Tried to enjoy it, but failed.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. A clear deep copper color. It has a somewhat musty resinous hoppy pungent nose. Well balanced though bitter and while not complex it is satisfying as all hell .

Hazy dark amber color with creamy head. Nice caramel aroma. Good caramel flavor, with light fruity esters, moderate residual sweetness, correct bitterness level.
Solid winter ale, straight-forward.

Ok pale. Has a touch of diacetyl, which naturally gets stronger on the tongue as it goes. Decent hop bitterness, and otherwise the balance is good. But yeah, diacetyl is becoming more common in DK beers these days and this is sad.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours black with a nutty aroma. Dark roasted malt flavors with a nutty finish. Stronger beer, but you would never know drinking it. Definitely picking up the oak chips as well. One of the better brown ales I have had. Very well done.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark amber color, clean, with compact head. Caramel aroma, with a mild but interesting fruity side. Soft mouthfeel; strong caramel base, with nutty accent, moderate residual sweetness, light fruity touch; quite strong nutty bitterness too, and some hop resins in the final.
A well brewed beer, clean.
