STEFAN Profile - Brewver

375ml bottle. Pours a rich dark purple color. Aroma is heather honey in the forefront with black currants following. The taste, like the aroma, showcases heather honey, followed by currants, then more heather honey on the back end. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and intense with lingering honey. Paired superbly with a local farmers cheese.

Dynamic Glow Hazy IPA from La Cumbre Brewing Company

6 months ago

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

Pint can. pours a hazy/cloudy pale yellow color with a smallish white head that soon fades away. The aroma is quite strong with pineapple, grapefruit and mango. The taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma with simple grapefruit. Bitterness is medium. The palate is full and the carbonation soft. Finishes medium in duration with lingering bitter grapefruit. Overall: Ok brew--This might be a nice summer quaff, but they are releasing it as a winter seasonal.

375 bottle. Pours a deep purple color. Aroma of elderberries and honey. The taste is much the same as the nose--lots of berries and honey. Very Jammy. There is a bit of tartness that nicely off-sets the honey sweetness. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long with lingering honey. Overall: Good stuff.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 8

12 oz can. Black/dark brown pour with a small brown head that has fair retention. The aroma is strong with chocolates, burnt grains, and iced coffee. The taste is mostly burnt and well roasted grains, just a bit of coffee on the back end. Bitterness is moderate. Palate is a bit less full bodied than i would prefer. Finished short. Overall: Love the burnt grain flavor.

Meeker from Schramm's Mead

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

From bottle. Pours a lovely dark ruby red color. The aroma is big and bold with red raspberries, and that's it--just raspberries. The taste, as in the aroma, is a big blast of raspberries, the honey also present as well. There is some mild tartness and acidity from the raspberry, but I would have liked more. Palate was a bit sticky with honey. Finished medium in duration with lingering honey. Overall: loved it
