Ummm, what is this supposed to be? Tastes like a home brewer’s first experiment. Too many differnet things going on, which don’t mix well. Stout, dunkel, witbier all mixed together. Looks good on paper, not so good in the glass....

Malty_MacHops (562) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - MAY 4, 2013
No strong aromas. Subtle notes of malt and spice. Dark brown with a one head. Balanced without distinction or strong flavors. Light bodied with a quick finish.

Mora2000 (4042) - McKinney, Texas, USA - APR 25, 2013
Hazy medium brown color with a white head. Aroma is wheat, light toasted malt and pepper. Flavor is chocolate, wheat, light coffee and pepper. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

ccex (797) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 2, 2013
12 oz bottle from a M&M 6-pack. Pours a hazy medium brown color with average off-white head and some lacing. Aroma is full of sweet malts, bread, vegetables and some plums. Hardly spicy at all, except in the aftertaste. Body is light to medium with soft carbonation. Taste is sweet with a slightly metallic finish. I’d call this one a watered-down doppelbock. Not as bad as I had feared, given this big brewer’s reputation here. At least I didn’t have to buy 6 of them.

Watery base with some cocoa, char, malt. Spice and vegetables. An odd combination, would not recommend.

bagalagalaga (51) - Indiana, USA - MAR 24, 2013
Got this at one of the local place’s "get rid of crazy seasonals" sales. The box claimed there would be some chili in there, which I didn’t really pick up. Way more malt than wheat, the spices aren’t too overboard so you can actually have a couple of these in a row. Kind of watery for all the flavor that’s in it, like you dissolved some kind of baked good in a bottle.

Butters (3321) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAR 22, 2013
Murky purple pour with ring of offwhite head. Smells of plums and wheat. Flavors of old coriander, cocoa powder, and hints of lavender. A little like carboard tootsie rolls on the tail. Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Kinda reminded me of a watery dopplebock.

Bottle. Poured hazy dark orange color with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate spice and chocolate aroma. Light to medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium spice sweet flavor with a medium spice finish of moderated duration. Refreshing soft beer.
