Commercial Description:
Something has gone terribly wrong (or terribly right depending on your view) in the Brewhouse. One of the brewers must have added too much malt to the mash and made a very strong beer. Stronger than your used to from the brewery that makes authentic German styles. This super strong beer has put the whole place in a state of pandemonium.

- The beer is golden colored but very heavy with alcohol of about 8% by volume. It’s dangerously easy to drink, so as the bottle label states: “You’ve been warned.”

You know the biggest problem with this beer? That it came in a 22oz bottle. It would’ve been a perfectly nice sipper with dinner, not to obrusive but nicely flavorful (a little citrus, a little pine, nice malt base), but a bomber size, I was ready to move on after half a bottle, and actually kinda resented it by the end of the bottle.

On tap at the Spuyten Duyvil, and only $5. Orangish pour with not much head. Didn’t realize the percentage on this one, and it was really easy to drink. Sweet bready notes on the nose, some malt and not a lot of hops on the palate. Notes of apples and nondescript other fruits. Brewers seemed a bit confused on what they were going for, but it wasn’t bad.

Apricot pour gives way to a small head. Non-descript aroma of wheat, yest and some malt. Flavor reminds me of about 20 other beers I have had. Not that it is bad, but nothing stands out at all. Nothing.

Pours too clear, light coppery orange. Boring. Boring. Bor-ring. Sweet grainy nose. Thin, quaffable. Bland, boring, but easy-going, like some people I know. Disappointing.

Golden-amber colour, but slightly dull. Not much head. The aroma is pale malts and light spice. Light spice and vague malt on the palate. Light caramel. Not finding the promised pandemonium; this is pretty bland.

Pours a clear amber color with a thick, creamy, off-white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma of sweet malty grain with some apples and a dash of hops. The flavor is almost overpoweringly sweet. Raisins and a grainy bitterness with some very noticeable alcohol notes. Some apricot and a little bit of vanilla in the finish. A medium to heavy body that leaves a bittersweet taste in the mouth.
