Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Schnickelfritz

What the brewers say

“Features the typical clove, nutmeg, or even vanilla and banana-like aromas and flavors.”

What our panel thought

“Light bready aroma with lemongrass and low pepper chiming in. Light lime notes join a moderate bready flavor, with coriander-like spice that lingers. As the beer warms, a moderate banana ester balances the citrus notes while the spice accentuates the dryness and masks the malt profile.”

What our editors thought

“Spicy with a bit of aromatic yeast bite in the nose. Sweet-sour plantain with a lime edge takes the flavor an unexpected direction.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Stammtisch

**Aroma:** “Clean with some sulfur tones. Subtle and delicate floral tones mix with some citrus and noble spice for a nontraditional combination. Very light malt and sulfur aromas, and some more dank hops flavors emerge as it warms.” **Flavor:** “Delicate sulfur tones, with just enough biscuit malt to soften the edges of the spice and pine hops bitterness. The bitterness lingers without overdoing it, but sits on the tongue a bit too long.” **Overall:** “Intense adventurous hops flavors that would give pause to the traditionalist, but still deserves its place at the table for an ever-evolving beer consumer. The balance of the bitterness and malt creates a crispness that is welcoming and encourages a second glass.”

Wektenburger Kloster Hefeweisbier

“This beer pours beautifully with a billowing white head and a hazy straw color. The aroma is light on fruity esters and clove, while showing woody and herbal hops aroma. Tart wheat flavor in the initial sip, with subtle hefe character. A sweet, filling beer.”

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Black Lager

Bold, assertive nose—roasty, coffee-forward, with hints of rye, chocolate, licorice, spice, and caramel. That complexity continues into the flavor with more licorice, spicy rye, and herbal hops. Deftly avoids both heaviness of body and harsh bitterness. Intriguing.
