Beer score: 6.8
Company: Olde Mecklenburg Brewery
ABV: 4.9
IBU: 29
First off, you'll notice the bottle version of this beer has a rather unusual but handy pull top for opening. Neat.
Into a clear glass, it pours a smooth brown color, basically an amber not uncommon to German-style amber ales. While being poured, it gives off scents of bread and malt with perhaps a touch of sweetness and caramel.
There's not any of that sweetness in the tasting however, though you're left with a fairly smooth nutty bitterness with some hints of burnt toffee.
This is a quality beer. If you enjoy German ales, you should love this one. The only reason this beer did not score higher for me is that this isn't one of my favorites type of beer. Maybe that's petty, but I feel it's telling the truth. Though believe me, I wouldn't turn one of these down.
