Commercial Description:
The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of Willamen and Casade hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dull, dark amber color. Thick head on this. Aroma is malty, toasty. Flavor is malt, caramel, with a slight butter taste.. Butter/cream aftertaste as well. Smooth, and very drinkable.

My best friend in New York Andrew once told me about this beer that every time he had, it just made him happy and made life seem so much better at that moment. (And lo and behold, it shows up at Bierkraft one beautiful day) When most people totally go on about how great something is, I am usually like, yeah, sure. Cuz it ends up being a let down. But Andrew and I share similar tastes and when he says something regarding food is good, it is. So... Pours a clear darker amber. Nose is airy. Very slight touch of caramel coated roasted apples. If only it were a bit more pronounced, I’d give it a 4. Flavor is very smooth, but robust with a defined sweet tone. Almost seems like an apple variation is hitting me. When I lived in Hawai’i, I would pick mountain apples (a.k.a. Malay apples) off trees on certain hiking trails. I think this reminds me of that a bit, though it has been a very long time since I had one of those apples. This is a bit heavier than the apples, and that is due to the malts. Feel is great with carbonation and has a nice thicker and smooth liquid feel. Overall, very drinkable. Would be extremely interested in trying this on-tap, and what if...what if it were on cask? Hmmm. Interesting apple qualities on this one. This is why I trust Andrew’s judgment. Edit: After walking down the street to go throw my laundry in the dryer, I dwelled on the lingering aftertaste and it is totally mountain apples. Interesting indeed. http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/malay apple.htm

Bottle Pour a amber-copper body with a small off-white head and litle lacing. Has a fruity, banana. Lightly sweet, maltiness is present to begin. then becomes a little roastier. A lightly dry, more bitter hoppiness is present towards the end. A pretty good brew.

12 oz. brown bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy light amber color, with a thin tan colored head. Aromas are of caramel, spicy hops, not much else. Fairly one dimensional. Flavors are of hops mostly, with some sweetness backing it up. Slick mouthfeel, but thin body. OK for the price, but nothing special.

Pours a nice copper color. No head. Sweet malt aroma. Taste is more of the same. Sweet, malty and very much inline with any other amber. Nice and could probably be drank at most parties without a complaint.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with little head. Aroma is sweet, malty, and has notes of caramel...and slightly off vegetable as it warms. Flavor is sweet, full of caramel, and has a somewhat grainy flavor to it. Finish dries out somewhat but leaves a caramel sweetness with hints of chocolate. Mouthfeel is thin and lightly carbonated. Not too bad.
