Bob, I assume this is what you served to me as "Calumet Honey Crisp." Let me know if I have the wrong beer. All malt. No apple to speak of in my growler pour. Light copper color. A drop of honey is in there. The it reminds me of their oktoberfest.

This is a very good pumpkin beer, one of the best I have had. Nutmeg and pumpkin pie aroma. Copper color. Pumpkin pie spice and flavor, lots of spice, nutmeg, cinnamon. Really full of flavor.

Shared by Skyview. A good schwarzbier. Simple but good roasted aroma. Flavor is like an oatmeal stout, with the roasted flavor the dominant character. Rich malt, and oak in the aftertaste.

This is a very nice dunkel. Not the world’s best, the Strahov Monastary does one better as well as Dum in Prague. Nice roasted malt aroma. No hop presence in the flavor or aroma. Medium sweet, with some toffee, light smoke, some sugar and a touch of chocolate. Just a little thinner than I would like it, but the palate is fine for the style.

My thanks to Skyview. Light and malty, and a good change of pace after a night of heavy beers. This is standard, it doesn’t push any limits, but pulls off the style very well with great balance, rich malt, and a heavy palate, but still very drinkable. Brown color, and well carbonated. Served from a growler.

My thanks to Skyview for sharing. Malty like a bock should be. Some caramel, sugar. It is definitely bocky overall, with all of the standard qualities. Very good, but it can’t compete with the best doppelbocks. Sweet, smooth finish.

Dark molasses brown. Big aroma of toffee, raisins, toasted malts. Slightly wet palate. Toffee and brown sugar sweetness offset toasty, slightly woody notes. Hint of peat. Interesting beer, with more assertive roastiness than you'd expect in a dunkel.

Thanks to CaptainCougar for sending me a sealed bottle of this one. I was thinking it would be a long time before I got to try this because I guessed I would have to pay for a growler and shipping. Anyway I can tell this beer has potential but I don't think it travels well. Pours a dark raisin color with a very thin off-white head. Aroma of raspberry creme, and some malt and vinegar. Character was somewhat flat and thin, with flavors of malt, caramel, and milk chocolate. However the flavors were all very subdued. I'd like to try a fresher sample someday, but I am glad I finally got to try this!
