Sep 3, 2009 Bottle bought in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Looks like a beer should, smells like a beer should, good head, but strange taste. A nice, old fashioned ale, but with a weird and bitter finish. Can’t figure that aftertaste - seems familiar, but can’t put my finger on it. Sort of nasty.

Aug 7, 2009 Creamy tan color, slightly opaque, small white head. Nose of heavy caramel, some earth and straw, also some minor lemon. Caramel flavor, earthy and plain. Rather wet/oily, but the earth keeps it from being very refreshing or juicy. Pretty pleasant, but an odd combination that doesn’t really get anywhere.

Jul 23, 2009 500ml swing-top bottle served in a shaker. Dark golden brown pour with a light haze and a thick head of rocky, off-white foam that left some thick lacing. The aroma had hay, toasted grain, and a light herbal/earthy hoppiness. Smells rustic. The flavor had light toast, hay, and aged hops. Malty but fairly clean...just a hint of herbal bitterness at the finish. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had soft carbonation. Drinkable and pretty tasty. A nice surprise.

Jul 22, 2009 Shakeyfest 09. Bottle that was probably a bit too old. Bottle from Germany. Rather grainy. Definitely tastes old. Rather "lagery" if I do say so myself. Needs fresh re-rate.
