Fallenbock
Poured into a pint glass, this beer's head rose to nice couple fingers of height before falling, quite noisily, to about a half. Pretty carbonated, I can hear the air bubbles escape as it sits beside me. Dark brown in color with just a tinge of red. Smells of sweet malts and dark fruit, maybe grapes, plums or berries? Taste's a little like bread to me as well as the above fruits, sweet as well. Its finish is bitter without a lot of hop presence, but it also tastes almost medicinal, and though that may be due to the alcohol combined with the fruit, it seems a tad off. This is smooth without being creamy, rich without being thick. A sipper for certain. A very tasty drinkable beer for a cool, verging towards cold, Fall day. A tad less drinkable due to that odd medicinal bite.
