I love this beer...I was born about 1 mile from the brewery. Great Beer with great flavor.

On tap at Bub’s as Bub’s Black Forest Ale. Nice dark color with creamy head. Malty nose. Smokey sweet malt body.

You gotta love that malty aroma. Amber in color with a nice thick head that stays around enough to provide a smoothness as it is sipped. A nice little zing to the flavor. Perhaps some hops sneaked in to give it a hint of a tart bite. This is primarily a malty beer with a nice roasted flavor. I like a sweet malty beer and this one pitches to my wheelhouse.

Pour is a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is caramel malts with a little sugar and a doughy smell. Flavor is ok with some good roastyness and a touch of sweetness almost like honey. Not a bad little brew and i have had worse from this brewer.

Pours darker amber, white head. 50/50 roasted and caramel malts, roasty and toasty with a sweet side to it and crisp hops in the finish. Nothing spectacular.

From a sampler pack. Pours clear bronze with a dense khaki head. The aroma has caramel malt that is very toasted with light spice, very smooth overall. Medium heavy body with some frothy, yet lightly sharp carbonation. The taste starts with toasted malt, nuttiness and some spice. The downfall is in the finish that gives the beer a stale astringent taste. This is merely a fair beer that would have been much better without negative traits on the finish.

Picked up a single bottle in the Twin Cities area. Pours a deep orangish brown brew with an off white, lumpy foam head. Slowly dissolving and leave a good lacing. Aroma is light citrus, caramel and a touch of brown sugar. Taste is sweet with caramel and a flowery aftertaste. The bitter finish is sweet compared to the lighter brews from Schell.

Poured hazed light amber color with a creamy beige head. Malty aroma with a light tartness. Tart dry malty flavor. Light to medium body.
