HighlanderOne (467), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA Dec 2, 2007 Updated: Dec 22, 2007 Poured from bottle (1 ltr Grolsch style). Malty, cider smell. Dark gold color, minimal head. Slightly toasted malt flavor with an interesting mellow hop in back taste. Very good feel and finish. A good beer. Retried a couple weeks later - aroma not an issue this time.
alexanderj (1420), San Diego, California, USA Dec 4, 2008 Bottle from K and B Wine Cellar. Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aroma of apple bread earth fruit and something close to brown sugar. Flavor was heavy on caramel earth and fruit. A pretty straightforward brew. Only a hint of hops. Not bad tasting but just nothing overtly interesting about. One thing its got going for it is it is really easy to drink. Could easily finish one off in a few minutes. Will have to try more of their beers. Maria (4743), Thisted, Denmark Oct 25, 2008 It’s dark amber with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of plastic, rubber and honey. The flavour has a light sweetness and it’s rather dry. The best before date is several months from now, but I’m sure there is something wrong with this bottle... The notes are chemicals and rubber :( DocLock (4175), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. I didn’t know Schwelmer had made a beer named after great composer Leonard Bernstein. The pour is dark straw with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is wheaties, nuts, earthy fruit. Tastes earthy, nutty, with malty, with mild brown sugary notes and a flavor that never approaches sweet, yet gives earthy notes throughout. fredandboboflo (717), East Setauket, New York, USA Sep 5, 2008 Bottle. Aroma quite sweet with caramel, apple, cherry, other fruits, all very sweet, sort of brown-sugar infused, hint of sour lemon sneaks in. Flavor also sweet, malty, citric notes. Somewhat weak mouthfeel. Simple, but tasty. LilBeerDoctor (733), East Setauket, New York, USA Sep 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown with a very small foamy white head. Aroma of cardboard and stale wheat. Flavor is the same. Tastes just like the Pilsener, somehow. I guess I just don’t like the house character of these Schwelmer beers.
