Darker, amber color. Decent aroma, fuzzy hops aroma. Well balanced. Would go well with spicey food. Malts were smooth.

Unfiltered draft sampler at Kraftbrau. I’m a fraid this one struck an off note with me. The malt taste here was more burnt than anything else at first impression. That taste mitigates after a while, leaving a more pleasant nose of dark coffee. In other words, a lagered stout. The waitress said it may be off because the batch was just tapped the day I can in.

Out of a bottle (and Psychprof said it may be old). Dark amber in color. This is the second bottle I've had from Kraftbrau that is so overcarbonated that it took me quite a while to just get it into the glass. Very lively on the tongue. Some bready nuttiness, but lots of pungent sourness too. Unpleasant soapy tartness. Next time I get to K-zoo I'll make a point to try this again at the brewery.

Ruby brown hue with fizzy tan head and fair lace. The aroma hinted of sour apple, grape, biscuit, nutty malt, caramel, and soapy yeast esters. Crisp and lively mouthfeel lead to a initial taste of buttery burnt toast and acidic fruity character. Somewhat bitter on the short finish with an lingering wet hay taste. Different and initially quaffable, but the unique taste got boring quick. Nice to try once though.
