Dark murky coppery pour, white head. The nose is light grassiness, just a hint of lactic sourness. The flavor is fruity, grassy, lightly roasted caramel malt...with a very spritzy carbonation. Pretty decent attempt at the style.

This was my favorite of the three Round Barns that I have tried. This one has a nice warming winter feel.

pre dark lord party. pours cloudy brown. just a couple bubbles on top. sniffs slightly sour, but mostly air. flavor is some kind of fruitiness, other than that, i dunno. medium bodied. a bit too ephemeral for someone as befuddled as me. Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=7 for this sample. my home brewpub ==> <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/flossmoor-sta Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery

Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=7 for a generous hit from his bomber. Pours kind of a murky caramel body with a modest off-white head. Good lacing. The aroma is softly sweet with toffee & caramel, some orchard fruit, perhaps some clove, and a bit of brown sugar with a light herbal/grassy hoppiness balancing it out. Some wheat flavor shows up in the flavor, smoothly blended with the elements reflected in the nose. Soft and refreshing drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Lord Gathering 2008 at Flossmoor Station, IL, 4/25/2008.<font size=-1>

Bottle from BBB63. Pours dark dark brown copper with a 2 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and full of caramel. Taste is sweet, caramely and a little spiced with i’ll agree some clove. This is an interesting beer. Thanks Mike.

750ml corked bottle and served in my Aventinus glass: A slightly muddled brown with a huge off-white frothy and good lace. The aroma has notes of caramel and toffee, slight smoke, red wheat, herbal hops, light pear and tangerine esters, clove and a nice earthy yeast nose. The taste starts malty and fruity with a moderate wheat overtone throughout. The finish display a light bitterness and acidity along with some clove. The mouth feel is sprite and refreshing but could use some more body. A solid brew but the weizen aspect of the beer seems a bit overpowered. Perhaps better German yeast would help here.
