Courtesy of my sister, ratebeer’s 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours deep clear plum juice with minimal legginess. The aroma offers up sweet cherry juice followed by chili chipotle meat and then moving into some booziness. The taste creates a pleasing rich cherry juice flowing into firm levels of chili meat, a bit of smokiness and then capsicum heat. The heat really begins to hit midway and it lingers for minutes into the after taste. Great chili meat and heat balance creating a pleasing refreshing experience and making me want to drink this all day long.

Courtesy of my sister, ratebeer’s 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours up crystal clear rusty to copper with a modestly thick legginess. The aroma offers up dry coco nibs thickly rimmed by earthy smokiness and then thinner rings of strawberry fruit. The taste is similar with earthy smoky nearly charred coco nibs followed by somewhat tart fruit berry notes. There’s a black tea like sensation that arrives with a brief honey sweetness before it dries out into the finish. Another tasty one.

Pours clear bright prune juice with a modest degree of legginess along the edges of the glass. The aroma is big sweet cherry notes mixing with honey chemical booze. The taste has some rich nectar like cherry juice sweetened by honey and then getting tart by deep carpet staining currant juice. The fruity tartness ramps up into the finish. Nice rich flavor with tart freshness.

Big thanks to my sister, ratebeer’s 15_2_Kuhnhenn. This pours clear pale peach with light pink-ish hues. The aroma offers up cherries and raspberries as well as some tartness. The taste is cherry and then moves into cherry and cranberry apple juice. To midway and into the finish it takes on increasing fruity tartness. Nice stuff but it seems a bit like fruit juice rather than anything else.

Bottle pours clear copper and has a headless beer like appearance. The aroma has big sweet honey and mild other nuances I can’t describe rolling into a bit of chemical heat. Maybe it is something like earthy sugars, hmm. The taste is crystal sweet honey and gets into slickness and a few other notes that, like the aroma, I can’t really put my finger on but adds pleasing depth and uniqueness to the experience.

It pours out clear amber with some legginess. The aroma delivers plenty of rich yummy roasted coffee notes mingling with light honey nuanced sweetness. Wow, smells wonderful and different. The taste has a great mix of rich dark roasted coffee and sweet smooth silky honey goodness. Holy cow. This comes together very well and attains a pleasing balance between smooth silky sweet honey and roasty coffee. Yummers!

Tasted at B. Nektar with clear copper body and some mild legginess. The aroma is bold and pushing up big banana and banana peel followed by some mild chemical booze and honey. The taste deliver banana notes on a conveyer belt. It moves toward being modestly dry with honey sweetened rich real banana fruitiness.

Tasted at B. Nektar with clear watery gold body and a near super thin head. The aroma offers up a nice mix of ginger and earthiness as well as honey sweetened dusty gravel like notes. The taste is semi sweet with smooth even un-obtrusive ginger notes moving into honey and sweet waxy earthiness. Pretty smooth and yummy.
