Bottle. Dark hazy orange color. Fruity aroma, and a flavor of fruit, caramel, and wheat. Slight dry finish. I didn’t think it was too bad.

bottle. Clear brownish color. Reminds me of other IPA flavors. Grapefruit, citrus flavor. A little hop flavor, and some small malty sweetness.

Pours a deep, chocolate-milk colored body, with some soy sauce-like tints and a deep tan head that is still quite large and enticing after a year. Head recedes fairly quickly to cover/ring and leaves behind spotty lace. Aroma of dark chocolate, a dry, almost chalky-milky note, light peanut-brittle, hints of light green, floral hops and a debittered-like black maltiness. The flavor begins chocolatey, creamy and with a slippery texture at first, with light gritty notes as it goes down the throat. Chocolate and light coffee (though very light on the coffee), with creamy-sweet sugars and a black malt that is ashy and dry, but not overly bitter. As it warms, gets, interestingly, slightly chalky. Not quite creamy, but not quite slippery. Anyways, it glides down the throat easily, leaving choco-vanilla notes behind and light roast and sugars. Hop flavor has faded to a light leafy greenness, perhaps touches of herbs/wintergreen. No fruitiness or any real yeast apparency, other than the lightly bland chalkiness (if that’s what’s responsible). Well-made assuming they used lager yeast (and even if they didnt, it’s still well-made). No alcohol apparency. Not very imperial in its qualities, but I have no strong desire for extremes. Imperials don’t always have to be so.

An unclear orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of wheat, and lesser notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet and as the aroma very wheat, and simple. The mouthfeel is very light, not as sweet and sticky as other Dunkles Weizen.

The body is the color of amber maple syrup under a fleeting smallish head of white. Cold right after the pour this has the aroma of fresh cold apples. Caramel begins to come on as it warms. The flavor is sweet, but not overly so, with a bit of bourbon.

Bottled. Black colour with some reddish hints, brown minor head. Smooth roasted malt in aroma. Roasted malt, burnt wood with some grainy and toffeeish hints. Old coffee and a bit of alcohol in finish and aftertaste.

This Pils isn’t very Imperial. Pours clear golden with a light orange hue. Thin off-white head and scarce lacing. The aroma is somewhat hoppy with a bit of citrus and traces of skunk. Medium body and well-hidden alcohol. Not too hoppy, and it has some malt and fruit flavors. All in all it is a slightly ratcheted up Pils that doesn’t really blow the doors off the style. Still, it is pretty interesting and drinkable.
