psycho11 (22), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA May 21, 2008 I love this stuff. I drank this the first time I went to Milwaukee with my friend Marc; and boy does it bring back the memories. Cola and slight smoky flavor. Rich dark brown color with very little head. Goes down easy. One to recommend to your friends. TheBeerBaron (218), Florida, USA May 11, 2008 Even brown translucent hue like a root beer soda. A small head that goes away quickly and no bubble action in the glass. Deep malt aroma mixed with ginger for a spicy and yummy smell. The most dominant taste is water, that actually rises above an out of place sour malt. Palate is expectedly light since water is the dominant taste. I know its designed as a lager but this beer doesn’t mesh well for my liking. Water, Sour, Salt - the flavors don’t mesh they follow each other. topherh (892), Kearney, Missouri, USA Apr 29, 2008 12 oz botle poured a dark brown with little head. Caramel adn fruit dominate the aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty. Light and fairly palatable. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 29, 2008 Pours deep brownish with ruby edges and off-white head. Nose is rich dark malt, mild cacao, fig, almond, and hops. Tastes malty, with brown sugar, chocolate, figs, and backup hops, and stays rather complex and very refreshing to the last dregs. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Apr 23, 2008 Pours dark amber with a mostly receding tan foamy head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, cherry. Tastes of toffee, bready malt, and alefruits. Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours dark brown with a light, foamy head. Flavor is fairly sweet with a malty body. Caramel, chocolate, and coffee are the profiles around. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Moderate mouth feel. JoeMcPhee (4911), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Apr 8, 2008 Deep brown-amber beer, creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet and toasty with a kiss of cocoa. Fairly bready/toasty flavour with a lingering bready character. Lightly floral/spicy hop character. Fairly clean and straightforward, but it is quite nice. Lingering herbal bitterness. Ughsmash (3983), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Apr 7, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear, darker brown with a short cap of tan head. The aroma picked up soft, dry semi-sweet chocolate and caramel notes with a touch of vanilla and moderate roast to it. The flavor was centered around dry coffee, chocolate, and caramel with nice accents of brown sugar and dried herbs.. short, dry, sweeter finish. Lighter-bodied and dry on the palate with an overall sweet air to it.. felt just right for the style. This was a good example of a rather crappy style.
