Viking Brewing Copperhead

Brewed by Viking Brewing Company
Style: Dunkel
Dallas, Wisconsin USA

Very nice. Ruby brown with a light tan head. Nice sweet nose, lots of malts, quite buttery. Lovely flavor, really quite sweet but not cloying or overtly sugary. Surprisingly hopped at the end, nice tart citric burst underneath the sweetness. Certainly doesn’t fit my idea of a dunkel, but wonderfully refreshing and enjoyable. A great summer beer.

Pours dark orange-amber with small light head. Lightly fruity, appropriately light hops, smooth palate and perfect amount of carbonation for the weight and flavors. Overall, an above average ruby. I will try this again.

Poured from a bottle. Pours to a thick off white creamy head atop a copper kettle colored body. The head has excellent lacing. The aroma is malty, buttery, light raspberry, and toffee. I totally agree with MilkmanDan in that this is a really great beer. The flavor is tart, buttery, yeasty and good. Slight caramelly sweetness and some nuttyness. Mmmmm. Wow. I really am enjoying this one. The palate is smooth and creamy and has just the right carbonation. I highly recommend this one.

Translucent yellow / copper in color with a head that looks like forgotten grease fat standing in a skillet. Lovely aroma - bubblegum, apple cider, caramel, vanilla and pancakes. Flavor is dry chocolate, caramel, smooth vanilla, apples, pears and nutmeg. Lingering, ever-present ginger sweetness. Some trait similarities more in line with a blonde bock. Body is solid, simple and passive. Caramel and chocolate malts play a nice supporting role. Finish is bubblegum and cotton candy. Hard to offend. I’m with Blake (1FastSTi) on this one - very enjoyable.

Clear bright amber body. Sweet grass, and nutty malts in the aroma. Crisp, sweet-grassy and dandelion hops compliment a dry malty base. Lingering walnut shell finish. I’m digging this stuff because of its assertive, crisp and quenching hops. It’s approaching a pale ale but with more interesting malts.

Color is a dark orangey peach skin color with a thin creamy colored head that subsides some as its consumed. Smell has a good amount of lightly roasted malts, somewhat fruity sweet, with light earthy grass notes. Taste is subdued off-sweet malts, fruitish in a sense, a bit of a roastyness pops in and out with some very light earthyness lingering in the finish. Very smooth and easy medium body, picks up some just past midway and ends with a light airy dryness. Not bad for a marzen but I like the Vienna Woods by a good margin.

From a 12 oz bottle, pours a dark caramel with an ivory head that stays around for a few minutes. Aroma of citrus and ripe apples. Taste of malt barley and apples. Smooth finish. Very nice done.

pours a hazy brownish - amber-ish - copper with an off white head and moderate spots and drips of foam. it smells... peachy and rather floral with notes of spice, earth, pale caramel and lager yeast. the flavor is unexpectedly clean... the notes of the aroma apply here with a pronounced fruitiness and a spicy prickly finish... crisp and refreshing. the medium body feels light on the tongue but has a great creaminess. i could put a hurtin’ on a case of this! 7/3/7/4/16/3.7

noticed some leafy-ness, spice, orange and grapefruit. clean finish. 7/3/7/4/16/3.7
