Weihenstephaner Doppelbock Korbinian


Appearance:  Very very dark but not black, almost a red brown.

Aroma:  Malts and spices with what seems like a touch of the yeast

Taste:  A taste of charred oak, reminds me of bourbon aged beer.  Pretty strong but not overbearing.

Feel:  Thick and creamy, which is great for the stronger flavor.

Overall:  If the charred oak flavor was any stronger I couldn't handle it, so considering it's balanced enough to not be too strong of flavor, I like this beer though I would wait before picking it up again.

Schlafly Pale Ale

Appearance: Orange and brown( okay, copper), clear with a nice head at first that settled down into a little wisp.

Aroma: I smelled nothing at first but with patience came malts and a citrus orange note.

Taste: Right away I tasted some good malts with enough of a citrus taste to make me feel like there was already an orange slice in my glass. It wasn't too strong but just right.  

Feel: A little dry but just enough to make you want to take another sip.

Overall: I haven't tried many pale ales I've liked, but either my pallet is getting bigger or this is just a really good pale ale. Probably both but oh well.
