3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Swingtop. Aroma grassy and caramel. Poured an off brown with a thin cap. Flavor was good caramel and bitter hops. Palate was ok with a light astringency though. Overall I liked it and would consider this an easy choice to drink everyday.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Bello Vino in Ann Arbor. Slightly hazy burnt copper colour with a large off-white head that recedes fairly rapidly. Aroma - wow, really interesting. Definately some caramel and malt, some herbal/grassy notes, and a faint medicinal tinge. Flavour is quite robust, especially for a 4.5% beer - notes of wood, citrus, peat, smoke and a long, bitter finish. Didn’t kick my ass like their Doppel Sticke, but still a really solid and unique beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pure, rocky/mountain malt, cake, shoe leather aroma. Near opaque sienna brown beer with bubble layer/rim. Grains and pure brewing, clean endless fields, robust caramel. Great flavor I’m having difficulty describ ing well. Robust palate, natural, decent malt finish. Nothing to knock you in the face about this beer, but everything is right about it, very sessionable, very nice and refined.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
really cool swing-top 330ml bottle. Slightly hazy amber-tinged gold, with a large fluffy lasting white head. Nice caramel malt, some yeast and a light hint of chocolate, some raisins, prunes and alcohol. Taste is similar, quite a bit grainier than I thought it would be, lightly roasty, tangy and nutty, long nutty/bitter aftertaste. Slightly thin body, nice and oily, very light carbonation - quite nice, would like a little more roast to it.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper with an off-white head. Aroma of citrus, alcohol, and caramel. The flavor is bitter, citrus, and caramel. Ok beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A little more fruitiness than its predecessor. Still has alot of sweet maltiness, a little more roasty, with a huge amount of citrus fruits. I like this, a little more even tempered, with a great medium body and a nice lingering finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle sampled with beerded_one. Pours dark copper with a decent sized off-white head. Bottle says 6%. Aroma of citrus, hops, alcohol, some roast, and caramel malts. The flavor is slight bitter hops, sweet, citrus, caramel, slight roast, and a tiny metallic finish. Good body, good brew.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
11.2oz bottled on <!-- i -->25.11.<!-- /i --> (Nov. 25?). Weird bottles. Pours a cloudy amber with a large creamy off-white head. Aroma of some sour sweaty socks, toasty malts, caramel, some earthiness, grass. This is quite bitter--considering the mild flavor--and the taste offers the addition of cardboard and nuts as well. This beer isn’t terribly old, though alts must not stand up well to age. Doesn’t have the ABV for aging, so I suppose this isn’t the beer’s fault.
