chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 8, 2008 On tap, pours amber with a thin off white head. Both the aroma and the flavor of the beer is of malt and caramel. Easily drinkable and another solid brew from Great Lakes. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Mar 7, 2008 12oz bottle-A light to medium amber body with a small ring for a head and an aroma of roasted malt and a little caramel. Taste of this medium bodied brew is of malt and sweetness. A nice tasting brew. wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Mar 7, 2008 Thanks to Mike for this one. Dark amber color with a creamy beige head that doesn’t last long but leaves a thick ring at the edge of the glass. Aroma is light. Caramel malt mostly. Flavor has a velvety texture mingling with the heavy malt flavors, lightly balanced with hops. Narnad (681), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Mar 5, 2008 Nice copper color with a nice head. Malty sweet smell emanates from the beer.Great sweet malty taste with slight alcohol and hops flavors. Great carbonation to add to the mouth feel. SoBloHero (56), Buffalo, New York, USA Mar 5, 2008 A nice full body and color. Not a bad brew, interesting flavor and maltiness. Doesn’t produce an aftertaste, which makes it very drinkable and goes well with food. Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden Mar 5, 2008 Odd but faint aroma. Had me thinking whisky but it’s mostly some hops and a bit of roastiness. As it warms there’s some caramel too. Perhaps it’s vanilla that makes me think of whisky; barrels that is.
Hardly any roastiness in the flavour but more of a full, even minty from the hops, caramel. Not what I expected. Different, intersing and pretty good. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Mar 5, 2008 Poured amber with an off white head. Aroma of malt and some fruit. Lots of sweet malt with some fruit hints in the finish. Easy drinking. DJC (238), USA Mar 3, 2008 Rich, amber body with an off-white head. Fairly good lacing, too. Malt and hop both present in the aroma, but the malt plays a larger role. The flavor is quite malty at first, but the hops appear in the middle to balance things out. Average carbonation, and it has an overall smooth mouthfeel. This is a good Vienna, but not the best I’ve had.
