ForeverNovice (7), , Minnesota, USA does not count Aug 9, 2008 This looks like my kind of beer. It even smells and tastes like my kind of beer. Lots of fresh (not burnt) malt with a nice balance of hops and just a dash of vanilla/toffee. The trouble is that it tastes like they took this nice beer and then mixed it with water. There’s a good beer in there, but it takes some work to find it. Skyview (2901), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Dec 28, 2007 Sampled at ABR 07 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a semi-hazy dark brown brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of roasted multi-grain malt, some flowery hops and a touch of vanilla. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of dark roasted caramel malt, some flowery hops, some mild fruit character and a touch of vanilla. Finish is light, semi-dry with a multigrain malt aftertaste. Probably the best sampling from Herkimer at the ABR. BDR (1903), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 31, 2007 ABR 2007. Dark brown body with no head. Roasted malts on the nose and similar taste. A little ight on the finish. Mrthirstyneck (339), Minnesota, USA Oct 17, 2007 draft at ABR 2007 not bad low hos but thats fine for the style nice sweet raosty and taosted malts thick look and mouthfeel nice colr too try one today! BückDich (4558), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2007 Draft @ Brewpub: Dark mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose of light roast and plum, very dry. Flavor is dry too, a bit husky a light roast note coming through. Thin, meh.
