Appearance: clear yellow color with a one and a half fingers to possibly two fingers of white foamy and semi-bubbly head. Slow dissipation leaves subtle lace
Aroma: oily grassy hops
Flavor: crisp oily hoppy smooth bitter character
Texture: light bodied with a smooth crisp oily-ness
Overall: IMO, it's good for an Italian styled pilsner as it hits what's expected for the style.

Winchester’s Nightmare from 1st Republic Brewing Company was the one that did it!

Each time, the can was poured into a becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the body with a one to two finger foamy white head dissipated slow enough to leave subtle sticky lacing
Aroma: wonderful blend of roasty, toasty & bready malts, some ashy/char tones, cocoa powder and sweet earthiness
Flavor: previously noted aromas wrap up sweetly with some bitter earthy roasty & toastiness to balance
Texture: medium bodied with a ton of smoothness, well balanced
Overall: a very nicely done black lager more than worthy of picking up another four pack the next chance I can.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with an off white to almost tan quarter finger's head. Sliding lacing.
Aroma: meshes an absolutely wonderful blend of piney/resinous hops to roasty & toasty malts with smooth coffee beans
Flavor: takes the piney/resinous hops to sweetly blend with the roast to add that ample bitter character, nice piney & roasty aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied with lotsa smoothness, minimal bitter sharpness
Overall: absolutely wonderful Black IPA, exceptionally worthy of returning to
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: mostly dark red/brown close to black color with a thin finger's worth of white foamy head
Aroma: leather, caramel/toffee rich malts, clean wood & grassy/earthy hops, yeasty fruitiness
Flavor: semi-sweet with some dry leathery/earthy bitterness
Texture: medium bodied with some dry bitterness
Overall: def a winter seasonal English styled barleywine worthy of returning to.
Appearance: a lil less than a finger's worth of white foamy head starts then dissipates slowly and not leaving much lace.
Aroma: big roasty coffee beans, some coffee grounds, ashiness and a subtle roast which livens with some warmth
Flavor: roasty, rich, sweet, subtle bitterness
Texture: medium body, fair smoothness, roastiness is a bit edgy
Overall: I believe I would return to this.
