07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured slightly hazy golden body with small head. Some really fine honey bready malt aroma, with a little bit of sourish unpasteurized hops. Flavor wasn’t so fine, strange yeasty, shows more some socks and chalk than those fine honey malt you would expect. Sweetish honey finish, shows also nice herbal hops. Well, it’s only strange not bad, but they should do something about that unpleasant yeast domination.

07/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured almost black body with small brown head. Cocoa, coffee and little bit of herbal hops in aroma. Nice coffee malt profile, not overly bitter, rather extended to some chocolate and wood flavors. Slight herbal bitterness showed up as well. Medium bodied with long fine coffee finish. Definitely the best Schwarzbier around, and for sure, it has nothing to do with dunkel, as stated here.

Draught at the brewpub. A pale greyish yellow body. Dusty apple nose, quite sweet, slightly sourish. Sweet honeyish, fruity appley taste. Dusty. Odd, very fruity, slightly gluey. Dry, a bit woody. I actually liked it, atypically sweet for a cider and yet nice.

Draught at the brewpub. Poured an opaque body, almost black, very dark brown I guess. Brownish head that stuck there for awhile. Sweet malty, slightly grainy nose. Roasty, yoghurty taste, dark malts, woody, nice roastiness, sweet. Some bitterness coming from the hops, creamy mouthfeel. A solid dark... my notes are slightly jumbled on this one but I’m pretty sure I’ve liked it.

Draught at the brewpub. Not sure of the style actually. Poured a hazy golden colour with a small creamy head that went away slowly. Vegetabley hoppy nose, somewhat yeasty. Odd yeasty taste, meaty. Some bitter hopiness in the finish and the aftertaste. Not the greatest of their experiments I guess.
