jcdsmack (88), Henderson, Nevada, USA Mar 11, 2009 What can you say about the dead guy? This is an outstanding beer with a wonderful array of malt flavors and aromas complimented with a gentle hoppiness. The munich and caramel malts lend a rich biscuit and caramel flavor that represents the german Bock style very well, a definite go to. xs2500 (90), Mississippi, USA Mar 10, 2009 Updated: Aug 14, 2009I just simply like this ale, it has a nice balance of flavors that are always pleasing to the palate. Try pouring it over Guinness makes for a interesting blend WillieV (191), Maryland, USA Mar 8, 2009 12oz bottle: Poured cloudy semi golden brown color with a quickly dissipating off white head. Scent of a weak IPA. Taste is pretty much the same mild hints of hops with a sweetish aftertaste. Cavie (1318), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2009 Had hints of orange peel with a decent aftertaste. A bit pricy though I would get it again. hopheaven (83), Eureka, California, USA Mar 4, 2009 Brilliantly clear and copper-colored, about an 8 or 9 SRM. Head is fluffly with excellent retention. Has a crisp pale malt aroma accentuated by caramel and mild, earthy hops. Tastes sweet and malt balanced but with enough hops to provide a full-mouthfeel and compliment to the nutty, toasty overtones. Hopping is proportionately low, however, as is bitterness. Flavor is not sweet like caramel but more a candy sweetness from the heavy dosage of malts, which I find agreeable to my tastes. A decent beer, if overrated. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia Mar 1, 2009 Brownish amber with a small white head. "Balanced" aroma with equal amounts of caramelly malt and hops. Wow, this is sweet tasting. Very thick and syrupy texture. A medium bitterness only manifests itself in the aftertaste. Does that make this a balanced beer or no?t. I honestly don’t know. dutch23mp (160), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA Feb 28, 2009 22 oz bottle a nice ale taste slightly of citrus with a slight blend of hops. first pour has a beautiful head. A good quality beer that is above average but I would not call great. poolboy (66), Lafayette, Indiana, USA Feb 27, 2009 Great balance. Smooth. A touch of chocolate and fruit. Not a work of art, but a great beer to drink on a regular basis. Good by itself and with food. Copper color, medium head.
