(bottle - 33 cl) Dark brown pour with a thick and puffy tan head. Aroma is very malty and nutty with some hints of caramel at the end. Taste is very sweet and loaded with roasted and toasted sweet malts, caramel, and toffee. The finish is bitter and watery with a slight metallic hint to it.

Deep, dark red with a huge light brown head. I don’t think its supposed to be this dark. Malty, chocolatey nose. Bitter but no hop flavor. Raisin, chocolate, plum flavors. Very smooth but a bit thin. A well made alt.

Poured a clear very deep copper-brown color with a thin off-white. Malty and pretty sweet aroma. With notes of cola, raisins and plums. Malty flavor with light fruit. Lightly acidic. Semi-dry finish. Thin body with a light bitterness on the finish.

Crisp deep amber body, medium white head. Fruit aroma, cranberries, cherries, maybe some sour apple. A warm body, but very dry in the mouth. Hops are very present, light caramel accents. A bread-like ending. A decient beer, but there are better.

Celar deep amber, rather nice light tan head, although it collapses fairly quickly. Invinting caramel and lightly floral aroma. LIght to medium body with lively carbonation. Roasted malt flavors of toffee, brwon suger, etc. provide the sweetness, and some peppery and light citrus hops offset the malt, although a slight sweetness still comes through in the finish.

Quite drinkable thought it is my least favorite of the schelmer line. Nice dark color yet I feel that it could be done a little better not quite as crisp as I would like

Very deep ruby brown, nice billowy white head fades quite slowly. Aroma of rye bread, very slight sour tang. Flavor has bread, chocolate, a bit of fudge ripple, and a hint of mint. The faintest tang is still there lurking in the background. I suspect that if this beer gets old at all, or is handled improperly, it will get real nasty real quick. As it is, this isn’t a half bad beer.

Bottle provided by, and shared with thedm and hotstuff. Brownish body with a tan head. The aroma was slightly caramely and slightly earthy. The flavor was more of the same, which wasnt all that good. Eh, not good.
