Earthy continental hops. Sweet, almost chocolatey finish that Mel likes, likely from the coffee. Checking that this was the right unmarked beer to send Jeff G. Still boilin' on the brew.

Cleared up over time unexpectedly. Shadow of its former self but could pass as a coffee-y maibock. Split with Mel.

Subtle, nice coffee. Sweet. A little more German malt flavor than I recall. GO GATORS! BEAT ARKANSAS!

Very nicely melded. Lots of cocoa. My goodness my...Ersatz. Recall I ran out of bottles due to high volume, so B is for Guinness.

Mat: Smooth coffee as it warms, more akin to the originally targeted flavor. A little empty thin on the finish. Has definitely evolved with age.

Taking one for the team and consuming the flat bottle before my mixed previous is depleted to retain some carb. Heavy pour. Tastes the same despite whatever caused it not to carbonate.

The plan was a pair of Ersatz(es?) but one was uncarbed (bad cap, first one like it), so blended the carbed one halfsies with a Vienna as a compromise. Measuring cup for "precision".

Play it again. Coffee roast and chocolate. Variance between bottles is odd with regard to cocoa here and absent in other bottles. Use a secondary, kids.

Melded but nice. Roast dimished. Better young but still good. Ceci n'est pas une vienna.
Mat: High volume at bottle time, Bryan B. , and I did not have enough de-labeled bottles, so a sanitized label bottle (or 6) had to do.
Bryan Brough: Hey man you gotsta do whatcha gotsta do! I'm not judging.
Mat: Everything ersatz is apropos with this beer except that we are not owned by ABinBev. ;)
Bryan Brough: Hahaha way to not sellout man! Gonna be up DBs way next weekend, doubt I'll stop in.
Mat: We are not but I would go to DB again despite their parents. Still buy Vienna in PA and will prob their darks when cold. Judge by product.
Bryan Brough: Oh I have nothing against their beers I actually had a convo with their head brewer after the sale. He was positive about it beer is good
Bottle
Vintage bottle. Darker than I recall and over-carbonated with time. Molasses. Coffee comes through on the finish and that familiar Ersatz flavor, too, but it's preceded by old white stout. Go Gata, beat USF!
