Winterloper
Bauhaus Brew Labs

From a 12oz can stored on the basement floor for about 2 years. I couldn't read the date code on the bottom of the can. But its 2 or maybe 3 years old.

looks good, smells good, tasted good. feels good.
Taste is a little roast and a micro hint of coffee. Then there is plenty of slightly dry chocolate that is neither sweet nor bitter. A little caramel and dark fruit on the end.
Very smooth and a slightly creamy soft mouth feel.
It held up well but seemed like a drink now. It's not going to get any better and maybe starting to go down hill.

 

12oz can.. Pours a light mohogany color with a tan head. Smell is roasted malts chocolate ,and dark fruits. Taste follows nose , its malty and hoppy with dark fruits like fig prune and plum , has some roasted malts and coffee in finish.

On draft at Bauhaus. Poured an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and toffee aromas. Good roasted malt taste with bold coffee notes and sweet chocolate, toffee & caramel.

12oz can. Stamped on can bottom is canning date of '10/07/21'.
Cola brown colored body, back lit edge of dark red mahogany. Hard pour resulted in a two finger mocha brown colored head, which settles back to a creamy cap. Leaves some partial sheets of lacing on the non-drinking side.
Aroma is dark roasted malts, earthy hops, and a touch of dark fruit.
Taste is dark roasted sweetness countered with a bitter hops back edge. Has some dark fruit and dark espresso notes. Aftertaste sheds any sweetness and rests with a dry malt flavor.
Thinner mouth feel. Smooth but dry in the mouth. Supportive carbonation.
Good balance of the sweet roast and bitter hops bring forth a dark fruit, dark coffee vibe. Very decent sipper.

 

 

 

This beer pours a dark brown with an average head. The aroma features chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallow, gunpowder, dry coffee, and pepper flesh. The flavor is moderate and soft, with chocolate, vanilla, nougat, fudge, raisin, and a hint of soy sauce at the end. The mouthfeel is soft, with gentle foamy carbonation. Overall this is a really excellent beer, complex, yet drinkable, it comes across as a beautifully smooth porter, more toward the creamy and fruity than the roasty end.

 

 

Wow is this solid. Nice toasty, roasty taste with a nice bits of sharpness at times. I'm guessing a lager yeast as there is a nice clean feel. Body is big enough and a good softness and fullness to the carbonation. Hits of sweetness at times, but it's not a dominant flavor.
Great looking. Dark brown with tan head.
Roasty and toasty aroma too with hints of chocolate. Like a good brown ale.
Doesn't have the darker fruit of many in this style. But I like this very much as it is.

L: drops bright deep dark brown kicking up a 2.5" blanket of tan foam with a very fine bead and good retention

S: mild roasted malt aromas that blend rich lightly roasted grainy malts with light roasted coffee, chocolate and dark fruit

T: Bittersweet chocolate and a light coffee roast are up front supported by biscuit and other more lightly roasted malts and lightly sweetened by caramel. Dark dried fruits, mostly fig, add flavor and character. The beer is mildly sweet with a moderate touch of hops.

F: smooth with a rich full body and medium soft carbonation

O: rich and luscious

 

dark black with a tan head that dissipates fully.

roasty notes up front, but once it warms a touch, the alcohol completely took over for me. molasses at the end.

mouth was nice - a bit creamy and thick.

not the best representation of the style for me. ok, but not one i'd seek out again.
