Apr 3, 2008 Objectively speaking:
My first Schlafly. A moment I’ve been expecting for years. A rather hoppy example, yet with rich, chewy malts underneath. Americanized, but respectful and masterly crafted.
I like:
Beautiful champaigny looks. Tight white head. Fresh cereal nose. Original pumpkin notes. Spicy display without letting varietals being picked out. Fair dose of herbal hops fit perfectly. Full-bodied, but not thick. Expansive carbonation feels authentic. Very engaging from start to finish.
I dislike:
I like it all. Original and delicious! Not so much yeast nuance, but it just lets the rest shine.

Mar 28, 2009 Clear amber orange with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and some mild grainy character and a touch of fruity esters and clove. Starts with a nice light malty sweetness and a touch of clove spice and mild fruity tartness before a drier, toasty finish. A good biere de garde.
