Special Pilsner from Capital Brewery
14 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 7
12oz bottle poured into a shaker. A "born on" date of the 316th day of 2008...a tad bit old maybe? Pours a lightly cloudy dehydrated-piss gold with about a finger of bright white head. Aroma of green apple, a little corn and some cereal grains. Taste is light bitter and light sour. Apple, corn, grain and a little skunk. Light bodied with a thin texture. Very soft carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad, especially for a beer that’s past its prime by about 3 years. I’d like to try it fresh some time.

On tap at Sugar Maple. Pours a clear gold with an amber hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a nice combination of pine and citrus hops backed nicely by a sweet cream note. Flavor has more of a cream note with notes of citrus and pine hops.

Square Series Baltic Porter from Capital Brewery
14 years ago
8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Purchased 2009 at Binny’s ($2.69/single). 199th Wisconsin beer! Not a dark brown so much as opaque, with some highlights at the corners of my shaker glass. Nice puff of brown foam. Sweet smell from two feet away: kind of heady and with a note of milk chocolate. Closer in I get the grainy smell that has come with some Baltic and regular porters. Slight suggestion of mint from hops? In a word, interesting. The first sip proclaims a malt that seems no more thick than a regular beer, but then it leaves behind some viscosity of an imperial styled dark beer. A slight hint of apple or pear in the background, and some treacle in the malt roast. Being as this is pretty much my substitute for all the Surly Darkness events I’m missing, it fills the bill pretty nicely. Drinking further brings on a slight heady-ness of alcohol, and some chocolate Easter bunny impressions. Sweet, doesn’t demand gentle sipping. A good, strong dark beer.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draft at Dexters. Filtered glowing orange-brown. Big, steady yellowed beige head. Sweet, mellow aroma. Somewhat odd taste, not really capturing the style. Some peppery hop tones and a sweet malty undertone. Maple, caramel, cinnamon. Drinkable, but not impressive.

Rustic Ale from Capital Brewery

6.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
12 ounce bottle from Steve’s Mineral Point, Madison. Pours a clear copper with some fine floating particles. There’s a weak attempt at a head but what’s there fades quickly and completely making the beer appear flat. Aroma of toasted malts. The taste is toasted malts, nuts and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Nice.
