Jan 23, 2007 12 oz bottle via trade with Monger, Thanks for the hookup. This is my first Vienna rating, and its been a while since I can remember looking forward to a lager. Pours light amber with a puffy white head that lost half its steam and settled a finger height above the brew. The smell is malty and fresh. Taste is crips and malty, but clearly a different animal when compared to ales. It has a nice full mouth feeling and is quite drinkable.

Mar 30, 2008 Thanks to Miketd for this one. It is the best Vienna I can remember having since traveling in central Europe. Amber color and moderate carbonation. Smooth, full malt flavor throughout, lightly roasted grain, mildly bitter, and some bread taste.

Jan 22, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Clear pale amber pour with a thin light brown head. Good aroma and flavor of biscuity malt and caramel, the malt is round and flavorfull. The body is medium with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A very solid vienna.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a large, foamy, off-white head and a clear copper body underneath. Good lacing and retention. Aroma of honey, caramel and honey comb cereal with a hint of hop. Taste is cereal, huskiness and caramel. Lively bubbles and a dry mouthfeel.

Jun 9, 2008 In short: A fruity and slightly sweet dark larger. Good beer but a bit overrated
How: Bottle 12oz, from Beerman6686. Thanks a lot Dan!
The look: Clear amber body with a short-lived beige head
In long: Candy-like crisp toffee sweetness. Quite a bit of dried fruits of all kinds, like taking mouthful of one of those grocery store mix-bag dried fruits. I personally found the floral hopping insufficient. This is a good beer and undoubtedly one of the best American dark lager I’ve had. But I pub-crawled the land of dark lagers (Czech Republic) and this Eliot Ness doesn’t measure up to the good Czech Viennas, it barely measures up to the average Czech Viennas. I basically found the quality reputation of this Eliot Ness as exaggerated as the real accomplishments of the man by the same name.
