Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown. Small off white head. Was suprised at all the floaties until I realized it was a wheat. Mild grainy aroma. Flavor is a bit nutty with a tangy ending. Not wild about that . Palate is mild. Not much mouthfeel. Very easy drinking, but it lacks body

Pour from a 12oz bottle. Dark, cloudy. cola colored brew with small off white head. LIngering foamy head throughout the glass. Nice aroma of roasted grains and grassy overtones. Taste is a rich medley of roasted grains - a little sweet at the finish transistioning to a bitter roasted flavor. Towards the end of the swallow a bitter / grassy hoppiness asserts itself offset by just a bit of lingering sweet that re-emerges a the very end. Really complex, really nice, emphasis on the roasted and bitter grainess with just enough sweet to keep things easy going and decent hops to keep things interesting. Easy drinking yet complex and interesting - best oktoberfest brew I’ve had so far this October...

orange, brown with small egg-shell head. aroma of toasted bread and nuts, coffee, and light smoke. flavor of toasted malt, grain, butter (might be the style, but might be diacetyl), and caramel. one of the nicer ones from schmohz

It’s a nice fall beer, I didn’t like it at first. But now I enjoy the taste and Aroma.

Bottle , ABV printed on front says 5.2% . A hazy deep ruby to brown color body with a thin,short lasting offwhite head . Aroma of dusty grain and a light tang either fruit or wheat maybe both , a light sweetness of some kind and just a hint of spice. Flavor is much the same as the aroma , a little tangy wheat , bread crust and a tiny bit of some fruit like maybe cherries . a nice soft carbonation lightly spicy finish. Light body , clean mouthfeel. The flavors and aromas seem slightly muted , like this would be kick ass if you doubled the grain bill . Not shure what to make of this brew but it was drinkable and pretty good, quite sessionable I drank 4 of my 6 yesterday . I was glad to see the Schmohz offerings show up here at my local Beer store , going to try them all .

Given to me by my beer distributor. The labels definitely look homemade. The beer is rose to amber with little to no head. Smells tinny, raisin, fig maybe? Definitely different. Nutty leading to a sour feeling and then a dry cardboard feel. Odd. This one is hard to place for me. I get some leather and earth but that tart sourness gets me. Very different. I still feel the cardboard a lot.

On tap at the brewery. Real cloudy dirty brown copper with fizzy white head. Aroma is stinky and sulphury with some nuttiness. Flavor is sweeter sulphur with some banana, toast and nuttiness. Creamy medium to light body with spritzy carbonation. Oh man, oh man.

Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. So this has to be the darkest oktoberfest that I’ve ever seen... it is a leathery dark brown with a very minimal head. Aromas of dusty malt, roasted nuts, a bit of leather, some tartness (cherries?) and earth. Flavor is similar, kind of watery and with a bit of a sourness that pokes its head out from time to time. It’s not enough to assert itself strongly, but when you forget about it, there it is... Not bad, fairly unique...
