Commercial Description:
Deep Amber red color, with a fragrant malt aroma. Flavorful notes of rich caramelized malt and noble hop flavors harmonize on the palate leading to a crisp clean finish. Named after one of Cleveland's most respected safety directors, who frequented the brewpub's bar during his tenure from 1935-1941 and, according to popular legend, was responsible for the bullet holes still evident today.

12oz, thanks kmyers8807! Pours clear dark orange with a thick and lacy pale orange head. Piles of sweet caramel and bread in the aroma. Medium-full body and light carbonation. Full, rounded taste of stewed prunes, caramel, nuts and noble hops. Dry finish. Nice balance.

Bottle. Pours a reddish orange with a thick creamy head. Aroma is malty, almost orange scented. Tastes of wood, pine, with a sharp hop bite that fades to a caramelly aftertaste. A well balanced beer.

Rich copper, barely tan head. Dry caramel roast aroma. Fairly full bodied, dry and dusty, though not like old stale malt, this is woodsy with a brown sugar finish. Maybe heavy for the style, but I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed via draft and 12 oz bottle. Pours a light to medium copper color. Notes of Munich malt dominate the nose, almost rendering one the feeling of being in a pub in Vienna, or perhaps at some large festival eating bratwurst. Similar notes come through in the palate. A wondrous malt note - simple in terms of flavor, but extremely satisfying - comes through on the palate. This is easily the best Vienna Lager I’ve ever tasted, and, for the money, one of the best beers made in the United States.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown amber color with a smaller head. Aroma is sweet caramel and malts. The taste is surprisingly sweet and matly. Palate was nice, but too sweet to drink more than a few. . . Not sure if this is typical of a vienna
