Kuhnhenn Dark Heathen Triple Bock Lager

I picked up a bottle of Kuhnhenn Dark Heathen Triple Bock Lager while at DiCicco’s in New York. The beer pours a black color with a thin bubbly off-white colored head. The aroma consists of caramel, alcohol, molasses, plum, banana, marshmallow, raisin, and fig. The taste is big and bold with plenty of sweet flavors including banana, plum, molasses, raisin, and fig. Hints of molasses and caramel come out on the finish with a smooth alcohol burn. The after taste leaves behind some graham cracker and chocolate malt flavors. The alcohol content is 12.5% ABV. This was an intense and sweet beer that really took the tongue for a ride. I loved the sweet flavors, and they were very well balanced by the alcohol burn.

Kuhnhenn 4th D

My friend Tim brought a bottle of Kuhnhenn 4th D with him from New York to share. The beer pours a dark brown color with a thin filmy off-white colored head. The aroma consists of oak, bourbon, malts, and raisin. The taste is bold and malty with lots of raisin and caramel. The finish is warming and brings out lots of alcohol, oak, and bourbon. The after taste is dry with alcohol and is wonderful. The alcohol content is 13.5% ABV. The bourbon alcohol bite in this beer was intense, but very enjoyable. It successfully balanced out the raisin and malt sweetness in the beer and made for quite a dynamic drink.
