tap at the brewpub - Pours dark reddish-amber with a thin head and a strong raspberry aroma. The flavor is fairly light and led by sweet raspberry with some caramel maltiness alongside in a slightly too thin body. The finish has some mild alcohol flavor. Not bad.

tap at the brewpub - Pours clear yellow with a thin head and a light malt aroma. There’s a little lacing. The flavor has light malt, mild hops, and there’s a crisp finish. Unimpressive.

Tap. Toasted oxidized coffee aroma Deep brown, golden brown low foamy head. Unexpectedly complex flavor:Roasted grain, toffee, coffee, a bit maple syrup, rasins. Long lasting coffee and candied nut aftertaste. Medium to light body, smooth mouthfeel.

Tap. Pale golden, low lacing head. Very light hop nose, a hint of malt when it warms. Malt base is lacking, a bit toast. Dry grassy finish. Even less carbonation than most ungespundetes I have tried. Mellow, almost flat, 6 week long lagering period is only good if you have a full body to begin with.

Dark brown colour. No particular head and looks kind of flat. Malty aroma is a strong but simple dose of brown sugar, with light fruit and alcohol accents. Flavour is very sweet, not-quite-chewy brown sugar notes and a bit of earthiness. Really sticks to your mouth. Alcohol comes in late and fairly restrained, not surprising given the weight of the malts. Rich, thick and simple.

Bottle. Hazy amber, low off-white head. Fairly fruity, sweet fullness with a fitting pine and grass hop profile. Feels a bit green.
