Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Standing Stone Brewery, Ashland
Dark amber/ruby color with thin head, nice lacing. Nose of sweet fruity figs & papaya with a full bodied nutty note, very sweet, some alcohol bite. Sweet & tangy, good though.

Mar 9, 2005 Brown with a creamy head and big spots of lace. Yeasty, some dough. Caramel. Not soft hops with some bubblegum. Bitter hops and spices. Cloves maybe. Yeasty or doughy with roast and caramel. Damn good beer.

Jun 15, 2004 Malty aroma with hints of banana and chocolate. Muddy dark brown color with a creamy head. Wheat and malt flavors a hint of banana and some cocoa. A very slight sour wheat twinge in the finish. Not a bad interpretation of the style.

Jun 6, 2004 On tap at the Sasquatch brew festival in Eugene, OR. I’m a big fan of a lot of the German brews, but this brew felt like they were throwing darts blindfolded. Pours a cloudy brown color with a small short-lasting white head. Aroma was slightly wheaty and malty, but no hints of spice. Taste was where this beer really fell apart, very thin and watery tasting, no spice, ended slightly bitter, but overall just kinda boring.
