Pale edition, delighted to get a chance to try this. Light copper (amber) body with that spectacular, huge, pillowy pitted head. Unmatched in that department. Lace and retention are excellent. Getting a big mouthful of the foam gives the expected...

Last can from Bine & Vine in San Diego, CA. Newish beer that has been here for about 6-8 weeks. Read all about it here. Beautiful reddish copper body with the usual Schlenkerla head that gives large bubbles, pitted retention and lace. Nose has...

I've been seeking this one for a while, and it's been a relatively hard beer to acquire for me, but there it was, at Sergio's in Louisville for $9 to go. Pour is as one would expect, with an orange brown, dirty pour. Nice head, good sticky lace....

The beer made with the alder wood smoke. and not the beech wood malt, and the brewery says that imparts a slightly less strong and aggressive smoke element, and I would be inclined to agree. Pour is as expected for a "normal" Schwarz, with that...

500 mL bottle, Tower, Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA. Nice looking with a decent darkish amber body and some attractive head. Very light lacing, decent carbonation. In typical Heller-Trum style, the aroma is a basically a side of smoked ham in a glass!...

Additional Notes: 05/03/2022 This is the bottle pictured. Reading my original notes (below) from 17 years ago I’m a little surprised, since now I really enjoy this beer. To be honest, much more than a couple in any 12 month period is about all that...
