Weeping Radish Black Radish Dark Lager

Brewed by Weeping Radish Farm Brewery
Style: Dunkel
Jarvisburg, North Carolina USA

Bottle. Best before date: 07/05. Different label than that in the picture. Deep purplish-ruby pour with small sandy head. Roasty and malty aroma. A little like raisin bread. Sweet and tangy tastes. Nice amount of roasty malts along with some drying bitter hops in the finish. Full-bodied, rich and smooth. Hints of chocolate at the start and some touches of fruit at the end. Solid stuff.

Pours a nice mahogany color with a nice off white head. The aroma is roasted malt with hints of coffee. The taste shadows the aroma, a bit watered down on the malt finish, a slight hint of a bitter after taste. This is a slightly above average brew.

This beer poured a nice brown with amber highlights topped by a thin head. There seems to be a nuttiness with a slight chocolate scent in the aroma. The flavor is smooth and rich with some more chocolate flavor. It has a very nice mouth feel and a good finish. Not quite a porter but a lighter version of it. Definately a good beer to drink.

Aroma is very weak. Just a little malty scent. Pours a dark brown, small fizzy head completely diminishing. Starts somewhat bitter, little sour, very weak. Finishes somewhat bitter, slightly sweet. Allright but nothing exciting. I would drink again, but never hunt for it.

12 oz bottle. See BBB63’s comments also: this seems much closer to a schwarzbier to me as well, and I had a totally different label from the picture. That said: dark purplish-black, thick moderately lasting off-white head...dry coffee, bit of underlying caramel, subdued vanilla and tarragon in the vivacious nose...smooth, creamy mouthfeel, nice balance of dry and wet (mostly dry). I liked it quite a bit.

Bottle thanxs to Suttree, Bottle, label says best before july "05. pouredbrown, nice thick white head. sour/sweet malt and and a bit bready. Very light in body and mouth feel, yet surprisingly drinkable. Finished clean, with a slight malty after taste. Very nice.

This beer makes me yawn....there’s my first and most prominent observation. This beer pours a deep ruby red color, clear, with a thin pearlish head which dissipated quickly and no lacing. The aroma light with malt and plums/cherries. Perhaps a hint of roasted cocoa in there as well and a hint of espresso. The flavor is watery, light bodied and uninteresting with little redeeming qualities. Finding flavor is this lightly carbonated mono-tasting beer was tough! Some plums and cherry, a hint of espresso, oakyness and malt. This was honestly boring me into sleep. No good qualities, no bad qualities, just sort of a liquid going on its merry way.

pours an alomst opague black color with a tan head. Flavor has a nice amount of roasted malts with a slight hint of choclate maybe. Aroma is very nice malty scent.
