Pour is a black with a large bone white head. Aroma is a nice roasted and coffee malt combo. Flavor is a little thinner than the aroma let on but you still get some roasted malt and bitter bakers chocolate. They call this a Starkbier but I would say this is a cress between and porter and schwartzbier.

Pour is a clear bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a real nice wet dough malt and a spicy hop. Flavor is the same, nice chewy wet dough with a spicy saaz hop. Real flavorful and well done.

16 oz. can from The Bat Cave. Pours a dark root beer color with a huge beige head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Yeasty aroma, like a Dunkelweizen. Dark wheat Dunkelweizen flavor too, with slightly less yeasty flavor than the aroma, and barely any pumpkin pie spice flavor. Lots of cloves too. Medium body. Low carbonation and low bitterness. Decent Dunkelweizen, but a disappointing pumpkin beer.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is rice and fresh picked flowers. Flavor is some bland neutral malt with minor sake notes. This could have used some ginger or jasmine to spice things up a bit. OK and easy to drink.

Pour is a murky river water brown with a small white head. Aroma is pretty much all bourbon barrel. Lots of oak and char. Flavor is honeycomb sweetness with alcohol and lots of the barrel. Very smoky and vanilla bourbon with a touch of molasses spice. This is a Dierbergs only beer and I think it was $7 a bottle. This was well worth it and I may go pick up a few more. Flavorful bourbon notes with just the right amount of sweeter malt.

Pint can - clear light amber - nicely rich maltiness that is bready and lightly sweet, tempered by a light acidity and some finishing floral bitterness - clean, balanced, crushable - some rich nuttiness and dark bread on the tail end, along with a light spiciness - yum!

From City Brew Tours, no dating.

It pours a slightly hazy gold with an abundance of foam, shrinks slowly leaving good lacing behind.

The smell is cloves and banana, light citrus, fruity.

The taste is fruity..lemon, big time cloves, banana, yeasty, not sweet nor bitter.

Lighter end of medium bodied, lively carbonation.

Nice beer.
