(draft) Cloudy dark brown. Medium head. Delicious smoke aroma. Flavor was pretty good. Much more subdued than other Schlenkerla offerings. Maybe a little bacony, but this was surprisingly good.

My favorite session beer. Perfectly balanced sweetness, bitterness, and maltiness. Just the slightest kick of bitterness at the finish that makes me want another drink right away.

Just about as good as it gets. Dark and smoky. Not too bitter and not too sweet. This beer can be aged for years too, though I doubt that I'd ever have the discipline to do it. Absolutely yummy.

(bottle) I was quite impressed by this. An aroma that I can only describe as chocolately-grapey. A flavor that stayed with me from the time my lips touched it to the time I swallowed - in other words, consistently good. Quite yummy. I wish I'd had another one.

(draft) My desert island beer. I only wish I could drink more than three or four without going into a coma. The ultimate Belgian as far as I'm concerned. If you don't like this beer, then I don't like you.

The web page says cinnamon and nutmeg. I got none of that. What I got was ambrosia. The most unusual beer I've ever had, and it took me a while to pin down what I was experiencing. Copper colored, good lacing, and an actual flower aroma. The flavor was incredibly indescribable, but I'll try anyway. Take a beautiful woman, have her bathe in lilacs and Mr. Bubble. Now perform oral sex on her. That's how good this beer was.

UPDATE 12/24/07: I've been able to have this in bottles recently. The aroma is as I remembered, the flavor is very good, but maybe not quite the orgasmic experience I remembered from before. Very much a session beer. One of my favorites.

Cloudy dark red. An intense fruit aroma, with a mixture of dark cherries and apples and citrus. Easily one of the best beers I've ever had. Fucking yummy.

Had this on tap at a bar with the same name in Las Vegas. By the end of the week I knew I'd found my new favorite non-smoked beer. Perfectly balanced sweetness and bitterness, and also with a little touch of something special in the base flavor. Very tough to describe though.

A fantastic beer, from the intense chocolate syrup aroma through the creamy mouthfeel to the delicious smooth finish. Beyond yummy.

(bottle) Wow. I wasn't expecting a beer this special. The label says "Belgian Ale Brewed with Juniper Berries." There's not a whole lot that I can add to that description, but I owe it more. Flat-out yummy. If there's a better beer on Earth, then I haven't had it. I want more right now and always.
