Pours bright copper into a Shaker. Fluffy white head recedes with no lacing to skim surface. Crisp and sweet caramel upfront, with a lasting smoke finish.

bottle - Pours amber with a one finger head. The aroma is caramel malt and light smoke. The flavor is sweet caramel malt with mild smoke notes. The body is light to medium and it finishes with the slightest hint of bitterness. It’s fairly good, but could use more smoke. edit: Rating #1100 - I wasn’t expecting the music and the opening accordion notes actually made me jump. heh...

bottle - Pours lightly hazy brown with a one finger head. The aroma is mainly malt with a touch of caramel. The flavor is sweet malt and some mild dark fruit notes. The wheat is mild. In fact this one isn’t much different than a typical doppelbock. There’s not much hops noticeable here, but this medium bodied beer with a little of that 8% abv noticeable is a good quaff.

Bottled. A brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is slightly smoked combined with light notes of malt, caramel, and rope. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of smoke, and rope, leading to a dry slightly bitter and slightly smoked and toffeeish finish. Too little smoke for my liking.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and alcohol, the latter making it dry, leading to a slightly bitter finish. Too simple - and not my style - more like a European Strong Lager, than a Belgian Strong ale as it is listed..

bottle - Pours clear golden with a light pale malt aroma. A few mouthfuls makes it clear that this beer is a light, sweet, refreshing brew and it’s very easy to finish the bottle too quickly. Some light hops round out the flavor. It’s a little too thin and a bit bland, but it’s alright.

Not too bad. Cloudy copper color, big foamy head. Aroma was lightly phenolic with hints at medicinal clove, and just a touch of banana. Flavor seemed sweetish but was swept away by a high carbonation. Some bubble gum and banana flavors. All flavors pretty restrained. Softer than expected mouthfeel.
