Feb 7, 2009 On draught during Winterfest 2009 in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear dark reddish brown brew with a thin beige head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white ring. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, chocolate, a hint of berry and some citrus zest. Taste is medium to full bodied, some carbonation with flavors of roasted dark malt with chocolate, some caramel, and a hint of dark pitted fruits. Finish is semi-sweet with a malty caramel aftertaste with very little bitterness. Would love trying this beer via hot poker method during the Schell Bockfest this year.

Feb 5, 2009 (bottle) Pours reddish brown with a light tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, must, chocolate, and a hint of cherry. The taste is really toasty, with some flavors of sweet caramel, light dark chocolate, and a lingering musty and bitter finish. The bitterness is, as others have mentioned, quite tea-like. Medium mouthfeel. This beer is incredibly sessionable. Nice work Schell’s.

Jan 31, 2009 The new recipe, bottle, pours dark iced tea color with a decent head and lace all the way down my 24 oz glass (I poured two). The aroma is solid caramel malt. The flavor is much the same, and add in some slight tobacco, tea, and butter. The palate is decent and rich. Overall, I like it well enough. My friends in New Ulm are really kicking it up a notch.
