3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAY 24, 2008 Bottled. Pretty good. Fairly well developed except for a thin short finish that reminded me of orange juice? Very easy to drink. Colour, aroma and initial taste were spot on for a dunkel bock.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle - Pours clear, dark amber with a thin white head. The mild aroma is mainly of roast malt. The flavor is again mostly sweet roast malt with just a little toffee in there, but the character of the malt in this one didn’t really do it for me. It seems kind of off. I’m left with the impression of a simple, light brew that’s adequate, but that’s it.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Aroma is of yeast and barley, some hops. Dark reddish brown with a small head. Tastes like the name.... a bitter, polluted lakefront. Not good.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Nice beer. Amber with great malts and hints of fruit (maybe orange?) Very pleased with this...good stuff!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle. Deep amber brown beer. Aroma is quite sweet and fresh. Nice breadiness with a lot of caramelly character. A hint of brown sugar and a lingering doughy maltiness. Nice sweetness, good rich palate with even more toastiness on the back. A bit of sweet plumminess and a clean yeast profile. Nice brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A nice bock, this brew starts with a medium, reddish brown pour and a nicely balanced nose. Flavor is lightly sweet and roasty, with a good malt character and a bit of hops bitterness. Improves as it warms.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber colored pour with a white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of sweet malt and candied molasses. Taste of caramel, toffee, and sweet dark fruits.
