Black Forest Brau Keller American Brown

On draft at brewery. This beer poured sort of dark copper to amber in color with thin off white to tan head. There wasn’t much aroma to speak of. I think I smell a bit of sweet malt and a touch of hops. The flavor had a slight caramel to nutty maltiness mild hop bitterness. OK beer.

This draft brew from the brew pub poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent uncarbonated brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a medium hoppy aftertaste. The strong flavor contained notes of mild malt and crisp hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Sample at the brewpub: This brew is dark brown with ruby around the edges. Thin light beige head with fair retention. The aroma is nutty and hoppy. Medium-bodied and rather smooth with caramel, malt and hops flavor, with a touch of nuts. The finish is bitter and hoppy, moreso than is usual for the style. Still this is an above average beer.
