I picked this bottle up @ Rozi’s in Lakewood, OH for $3.99. Aroma had a floral bouquet and the entire bottle poured nicely into my Bitburger glass. Dark brown color and a hoppy flavor with hints of smoke and caramel. Alcohol was well hidden, I could taste yeast undertones. This beer lived up to it’s cost and its not just the bottle you are paying for. I am going to re-use the bottle for home brewing unless somebody has a way to make it into a bong. Thanks to bkelly68 for pointing it out to me.

Brown pour. Quarter inch white head. Inviting appearance. Aroma more malt than hops with some sweet notes. Medium body. Malts dominate until the finish where hop flavor creeps in. Underlying sweetness throughout. very good, very drinkable.

This beer rocks! (Sorry, Hopscotch, and forget you, Powers!) That bottle over on the left is rather a cool vessel to package a brew. Pours a nice clear orange brown with a thin yet lasting tannish head. Aroma of peppery hops and new leather. This sucker has benifited from lagering, that is for sure. Smooth malt balanced with a big hop bitterness. What I love about this the most is the way the incredible smooth malt lingers right through the lingering hop bitterness aftertaste. From homebrewing with the White Labs Dusseldorf Alt yeast a few times, this beer has the distinctive alt flavor that you would look for and the smoothness of a lager. Rant rant rave rave. A must try!

Ruddy and husky hazen copper brown color, thin, fluffy, beige cap sits briefly, a firm collar remains and a whispy skim; minimal stringy lacing sticks. Aroma is rich with sweet yet yielding maltyness, honey, nuts, buttered toast, and dried wild flowers or grasses. Taste has some delicate nuances and subtleties, starts smooth and inviting with tame caramel and light toasty malts but gradually builds with nuts and grassy floral hop tones that are very mild on the bittering, but really nice to let unravel. Bits of whole grain toast make a nice appearance just past midway. Very lovely in that regards, real nice. Finishes with some sweeter candyish fruity malts mixing with the hop tones and toast and drys out very calmly. Super fine and yummy finish. Feel is quick to be smooth and long to finish with a well rounded medium body and texture thoughout. Favorable buttery and candied sweetness keeps some teriffic balance over the flowery, grassy hops. T’was gone in no time...need more soon.

Crushed with Jakebra. Surprised this one is only 6.5 abv. So much body it feels like it has to be higher. Very bitter but also compllex flavor. Gives me a bit more faith in Uerige after the last two Ive tried.

Bottle from pivnizub, děkuji. Dark amber color with small beige head. Aroma of dried red fruit, flowery hints, caramel. Taste, starts as little bit as medicine, then continues with caramel, malt, some brandy like hints. Long bitter, alcoholic finish. Nice.

(Bottle, "bottled on 31.01.") Pours a brownish amber with a smallish biege head. Aroma: maltiness plus some brown sugar and caramel. Pretty good lacing. Great body, mouthfeel nice and chewy. Flavor: reserved malt caramel sweetness with some sourishness in finish - don’t think this is a bad bottle, so guess the sourishness is supposed to be there.

Bottle from bierkompass.de. Nice bottle! Poured ruby color with a medium white head. Aroma is nutty, very malty with some toffee. Flavor is caramel, fruity hops and caramel. Incredibly tasty, so full of flavor. Wish the bottle would have been bigger.
