Starts with blueberry, maybe a little root beer. Dark plums and graphite. Develops allspice, then menthol and cigar smoke after a couple hours. Dry, moderate acidity, heavier bodied and moderate to heavy tannins. Comes across as well balanced despite the 15% alcohol level. — 4 years ago
A little weightier than expected, black raspberry fruit framed by deft oak. Some talc-like tannins, also. On day 2 got that weird beer-like nutty/savory finish I get in low-intervention wines sometimes. Overall very nice, esp considering price — 6 years ago
Yugawara-Onsen trip with Hiroto. Great dinner! Japanese classic beer. A little bit hoppy. — 7 years ago
As the name suggests, a raspberry bomb. Kinda wipes out any trace of it being a beer even. And arguably it's even more "raspberry" than raspberry juice. I mean its like a concentrate without being overbearing, although I would prefer little more acidity to counteract the sweetness. Wouldn't look for it, but it sure was fun to drink! — 5 years ago
Proper Oktoberfest beer. Amber colour with good carbonation and a pleasant fluffy head.
Marzen tends to be a little sweeter and less hoppy than other German beer/Helles, and this one by Hacker Pschorr is very nice indeed. — 3 years ago
Light and a little funky. Tastes somewhat like a sour beer. Keep wanting to go back for another sip. — 6 years ago

Ah, the king of them all. So bitter after fruitier IPA’s. Dangerously refreshing.
Easy to put away, 1,2,3 . 5.2°
Balance of grain/hops. Not too much or too little. With fatty foods, a dream.
Used to be a nicer can. No accounting for aesthetics. Not to mind, in this case, Chicago conquers Philly. I bow. — a year ago
