Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel

Old world dunkel from Germany, and the year on the bottle is 1030.  It is also very proud of it's 2008 World Beer Cup.

Look/Pour/Smell - Smells of the German Beer Law, but warmer like an abbey.  Red brown look, with a light head.

Taste - the hoppiness of German beers is the sheet, while the warmth of malt is the comforter.  It is the balance that's delightful, not any one flavor.  I'd say the one flavor that is there is an apple, like warm apple pie.

This unfortunately straddles the fence, but is worthy of a great grade.

Warfteiner German Ale

So a German Military deployed to our base, and they brought us some beer from Germany for the work we helped them with.  I'm super excited that I get to drink this.

Smell, Look, Pour - Easy pour, light orange, more straw yellow...light crisp hops, light citrus and pine...it's like an American pilsner but with more flavor.

Taste - The hops are there and help to keep the warm sweet malt at bay.  This one can be drunk in droves, it's an easy drink and I can see why the Germans are known for drinking...they have delicious beer.

This is what all beer should shoot for: drink-ability, taste, deliciousness
