N’ice Chouffe
Sweet dark aroma. No flavor bite with a minor aftertaste of sweetness. Aftertaste is a bit malty and “chunky” with moderate yeasty fruitiness.

Arbor Brewing Olde Number 22 Alt Bier Dark Ale
Dark, sweet aroma. Very strong dark malt taste almost like coffee. Despite that heavy dark taste, it quickly steps down and fades out leaving hints of hops mixed with the dark malt. Much darker and heavier than the Alts I had in Dusseldorf.

Oskar Blues G’Knight
Moderate sweet smell with a bit of hoppiness. Full flavored sweetness that finishes off with a combination of hops, malt, and flavor of high alcohol. Aftertaste is a bit sweet, slightly harsh. Calls itself an Imperial Red IPA. Not sure which word the imperial goes with. Flavor-wise, I think it’s an imperial red that’s also hoppy.
