My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
13.5 points overall

• Amberley
  Style 8 - Scottish Ale
  • 11 points - Beer #11-751, The HopYard, Pleasanton CA, February 4, 1995
    Dark amber, good head. Malt, smoke and chlorophenols aroma. Pretty phenolic. There's a VERY good beer under here somewhere. Very much like Portland MacTarnahan's. "Whiskey beer" ... sorta like making a beer out of a whiskey mash, no distillation. Filled out a marketing survey yesterday at Buffalo Bill's in exchange for a free pint of this stuff.

• Dark (bottled)
  Style 13 - German Dark Lager
  • 13 points - Beer #32-2695, Siebel Institute, Chicago IL, April 7, 1998
    Red, thick head. Diacetyl aroma, sweet. Tastes sweet, like brown sugar. (Note: this is reportedly an all-malt beer.) Very very drying.

• Lager Beer (bottled)
  Style 14 - German Light Lager
  • 13.5 points - Beer #19-1481, Kamuela Liquor Store, Kamuela HI, May 20, 1996
    Golden, moderate carbonation, good head. Hint of hop aroma, more than a hint of mercaptans. Good body, good malty flavor...with some corn, maybe? OK bitterness in finish, but kinda sticky at the same time.

• Tarwebok
  Style 23 - Specialty Beer
  • 16.5 points - Beer #9-595, Buffalo Bill's, Hayward CA, November 10, 1994
    Red, ok head, flat. Sweet caramel aroma. Good caramel flavor, "brown" flavors, and lots of alcohol. Thick. Quick bitterness in finish. Got a taste first...the way it SHOULD be!
