Wanderstar
Nod Hill Brewery

Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my .5L dimple mug. The beer pours a clear chestnut color and sits a slightly darker mahogany color in my mug. A creamy khaki colored head of almost 3 cm foams up and fades to a sturdy surface covering that sticks around throughout the sampling. Creates some windowpane lattice on the glass when I take a sip or swirl the mug. The aroma is some light chocolate malt and a bit of a chalky note as well. There is some roasted malt too and I get a little grassy hop note in the background. Pretty mild but appropriate nose for this beer.
First sip reveals a light body with very fine and tingly carbonation. Beer drinks very smooth and easy , making it easy to empty my mug.
Flavor is some light roasted malt note and some mild dark chocolate mixing together. The chocolate lingers after each sip, with a sort of cocoa powder quality. Not much of a hop note and certainly no ABV hints.
Nice tasty dark lager from this Connecticut brewery.

 

Poured from a pint can into a pint glass. Thick 4 fingered caramel colored head with nice lacing. The body of the beer is a dark reddish-brown, semi-opaque. Malty, somewhat yeasty aroma. The first sip offer plenty of malt flavor, along with some chocolate notes and tastes of wheat bread. A pleasant mouthfeel with a 5% abv, this classic from Munich is well created by Nob Hill.
