Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Ale
Thick coffee aroma. Taste is quite like coffee, but also a strong dark malt flavor. Then the coffee and malt flavors kind of battle it out for center stage as the taste fades away. In the end, round off quite nicely.

La Trappe
Moderate fruity aroma. Good full mouthful taste not too strong and not too weak, with hints of Belgian yeast. Finishes smoothly.

Reissdorf Kolsch
Very faint lager smell. Nice full malty flavor with a slight sweetness. Finishes with a full malty flavor that’s not too strong, then fades out slowly. I think the Fruh Koelsch was better slightly.

Fruh Kolsch
Slight lager aroma. Mildly sweet with a hint of grain taste. Finishes with a slight sweetness that leaves the mouth watering. Drank in the bar of the brewery on a freshly routered out bar. Beer served from gravity fed barrels sitting on the bar.

Fuchschen Alt
Sweet smell, almost rotten. Hits taste buds quick with a nice fresh hop taste. Has an aftertaste that’s a mix of strong hops and moderate maltiness. A bit stronger in flavor (both hops and malt) than any of the other alts.

Schlosser Alt
Mild sweet smell. Pointed, but mild hop flavor that quickly kills the flavor and leaves a dry, raw, slightly grainy taste. Very nice aftertaste with no hop flavor just a nice fresh grainy mild taste.

Uerige Obergarige Hausbrauerei Alt
Slightly sweet aroma with hints of hop smell. Good fresh hop taste, medium strong. Finishes with a good hop aftertaste. Very good fresh, raw, grainy taste (as I had it straight from the brewery…). Gravity served from big barrels on the bar. Every now and then you hear a low rumble as a barrel goes rolling by either on its way to or from the bar.

Dubuisson Cuvee Des Trolls
Slightly sweet smell, not really appealing at first- smells kind of like a mass market lager. But very nice taste. Smooth but tasty. Finishes nicely with a very mild hop taste that fades smoothly. Ingredients includes sugar, which must give it its smoothness. After a few more drinks, decided it tasted very similar to Kid Rock Badass Lager.
