Krampus (Imperial Helles Lager)
A- Poured into a snifter... 1st pour produced a decent off white head that appears a disappears leaving some lacing. 2nd pour erupts a much fluffier head leaving a nice lacing behind. Beer is an amber/ruby color with a little activity S- At first the smell is overpowering hoppy aroma, but as the beer warms, you get some subtle malts and bready smells mixed with the hops T- 1st pour seemed to just be hoppy from start to finish. 2nd pour/after some warming, is a bit more complex. More malts join the flavor making it a nicely balanced beer M- Very smooth, medium bodied. Leaves a good aftertaste clinging in you mouth D- Very good and worth every dollar. Not surprising since almost every imperial series ST has been very good CHEERS!!
