STEFAN Profile - Brewver (Dev)

12oz can. Pours a rich copper-amber color with a medium sized off-white head that slowly fades away. The aroma had something like cooked vegetables and onions, not good. The taste was caramel, and some mild toasted grains. Bitterness was light. The palate was thin and crisp with lively carbonation. Finished weak. Overall: Flaws outweigh strengths, not a fan.

12 oz can. Pours a dark brown color with a big beige head that soon recedes. The aroma is strong with roasted grains, caramel and bitter walnuts. The taste, like the aroma, featured well roasted grains, bitter nuts and some caramel. The palate was medium-light and was appropriate for the style. Finishes long with lingering bitter nuts. Overall: Decent brown ale, one my favorites in this much maligned category.

375ml bottle. Pours a copper-brown color. The aroma is mostly honey with some faint apples. While the aroma was faint and indistinct, that was not the case of the taste. The taste was big and bold with apples, currants, honey, some woody tannins, and yes-sherry too. The palate was full and viscous. Finished fantastically long and sweet (but not cloying). Overall: Overall: Top shelf stuff, probably only a once in a lifetime experience. Paired passably well with some imported provolone ( I should have paired it with some Humboldt fog).

I have used them to buy award winning meads for some time--Good packaging and fast shipping. The only drawback is that they only offer a limited supply of meads on line. But, I highly recommend them.

Pint Can courtesy of Jow. Thanks. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big foamy white head that has fair retention and ample lacing. The aroma is big and bold with sweetened grapefruit and a few other tropical's that I am unable to to put my finger on. The taste is sweetened citrus with mango, papaya, melons and perhaps some passionfruit. The palate is full and viscous with soft carbonation. Finishes long and semi-sweet with lingering mixed citrus. Overall: well done DIPA, much enjoyed. Paired well with some Fritos corn chips
