Black Hills Beer Fest - Medium brown pour with a small sand colored head. Smells spicey, like cloves mixed with banana yogurt. Creamy texture and tastes smooth. The wheat and cloves work well with the yeast and more bananas. Not too shabby.

Bottle: Clear copper pour with a thin ring of beige head. Pretty mild aroma of lager malt. Sweet and a little grassey. Tastes malty, faint grass.. not much else. Pretty mild. Went well with spicey noodles.

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting courtesy HonusWagner. Pours amber with tan head. The aroma is sweet with caramel, prunes, plums and dried apricot. The taste offers up thin molasses, prunes and tart tannin like fruit skins toward the finish

Bottle @ Seabass going away party, Jan15th ’11. Courtesy of HonusWagner Couleur cuivre, mousse fine et beige. Bien malté en bouche, avec des notes de fruits noirs, léger en caramel et qcq épices, allant vers le clou de girofle. La bière retient pas mal d’aspect tenant de la levure mélangeant allégrement le malt caramel avec des notes de chocolat au lait au fini.

Bottle shared by Dan, thanks! Poured a clear amber brown with a gray head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma was full of sweet grains and caramel with a hint of bourbon in the background. Flavor was a combination of sweet grain with cookie and a hint of caramel. Quite smooth and slightly dry finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-brown color with a large foamy beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was faintly tart with a note of cherries. The flavor was caramel, nut and sweet malts with light notes of cherry and berry. The finish was long and tangy with notes of nut and berry lingering. Medium body. Decent.

I think Schell’s called it a Saison. Gold color. Light aroma with malt. Flavor is lightly sour with dry malt. Good palate. Decent.

On draught at Ed’s (No Name) Bar in Winona. The beer is a clear slightly reddish-orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Sweet bready malt aroma with some caramel notes. Light body with a caramel malt flavor along with a touch of hops. The finish is sweet with a toffee/malt aftertaste. Just average overall.

12 oz. bottle. Schell’s certainly likes to sneak the popular IPA hops into their traditional German recipes. This pours a dark honey gold color, a little lighter than their Firebrick, with a nice nose of hops under the cap and busy bubbles making for a contoured foam landscape with lace on the sides. Definitely hoppy, but the Tettnangs keep the Cascades respectable. Taste is an equal melding of Pale Ale and Vienna styles. Very easy drinking, with the dry finish of a lager added to a hop profile that tends more toward the "noble" side as I go on. Interesting that Schell’s has done "extreme" beers, they just find more interesting variations on traditional style.

Bottle. Pours a darkish gold with a thin yet dense head and aromas of pale malt, herbal hops and a bit of apple. Flavor starts alright enough, but then a bit of a metallic bite takes over, spiraling the whole thing into a herbal/metallic/medicinal tailspin. It seems to recover just a bit as it sits/breathes/warms, but it’s a little rough around the edges.
