- Pours with a tall lingering froth. Beautiful caramel, copper color. Wispy beige head. Complex smell. Aromas of sweet malts, spicy hops, wet hay, plum, brown sugar. Taste is complex too. Flavor of rich sweet malts, caramel. Lots of toffee. Full nectar with good carbonation. Hides the alcohol very well. A mild malty sweetness ensues as the werewolf attacks with its high abv. Nice chewy texture. Overall it has an earthy presence and finishes dry bittered nicely.
- Lots of character and a hint of booze induced warmth. Smooth, mellow and very well balanced. The caramel/honey sweetness really lingers too. The booze is well hidden and palatable. Clean but with a nice lingering buttery texture. Slick and a bit creamy taste in the finish. A definite buttery character in the flavor and the texture makes this brew go well with lobster.
- Brilliantly crystal clear. It's a golden honey color with little bubbles floating up. A light creamy head forms at first, then fades to small clumps of bubbles around. Starts with a light crisp lager like nose, with hints of honey and sweet malts. Digger deeper reveals the slightest hints of European malts, touches of alcohol sweetness, almost Belgian candy sugar, and quite a bit like a Belgian triple.
- This blonde dopple pours a bright clear orange color with a quickly dissipating head of big white bubbles that leaves nothing...no ring...no lacing. Nose of apples, light citrus orange, caramel malts, and a lot of purge grain alcohol booze. Flavors are caramel coated apple meets a light citrus orange or mandarin, followed by a large grain note on the back with searing alcoholic warmth. An interesting take on a blonde dopplebock. Strong warmth from the booze, sweet aftertaste, and smooth slick mouth feel.
