wilderthanyou (339), Guelph, Ontario, Canada Jul 21, 2007 Pours a brick red cololur with a thin sticky beige head. Malty aroma, with notes of caramel and nuts. Lots of malty flavours of caramel, toffee, and a touch of vanilla with a dry nutty finish. Surprisingly good, especially considering the lack of hops to balance this brew. I really enjoyed this brew, and will probably bring a few back with me to canada. Top notch, everything from the berkshire brewery has been impressive so far.
mansquito (677), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Oct 5, 2008 Muddy brown color that signifies this beer as rather unfiltered. Tan head. Caramel and malt aroma and the taste is pretty much the same. The alcohol is covered up pretty well by the hearty malts in this beer. Kind creamy and smooth. DrDavid (673), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 23, 2008 (Bottle). Mild malty aroma. Dark hazy amber, with a small tan head. Flavor is very balanced with sweetness, nuts, chocolate, caramel, and some fruit. Not much hops bite. Smooth and drinkable. glaze0101 (78), USA May 24, 2008 amber with a light white head. nice drinkable beer mild with apricot and other fruity flavours. Pwn3d (633), NYC, New York, USA Mar 22, 2008 minimal head, beautiful color, nice spices, sweet malts. finishes floral. Very well balanced and nice alc content. cheapdark (1686), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 24, 2008 Updated: Feb 25, 2008Thanks to RCL for this bomber in a trade. Pours like dark hefe or dunleweizen. All I can say about this is wheat dark wheat. Has a sweet mild aroma about it. Comes on at first like a weisenbock on the olfactory. During the session the alky content seems to mellow out a bit. Almost becomes well behaved after a while. Hints of banana or wheat beer. Probably should be listed as a weizenbock, looks like and tastes like many weizenbocks I’ve had. Back of throat malt bitter bite build during the session. Interstingly good cross between an ale and a dunkleweizen. Has a choco malt aroma in the background. Finish is alky malty impression that hangs for a while.
