Koo Vee: A good attempt for an American brewery. But I found this a bit simple and bland even if technically perfect. Felt more like a beefy schwarzbier.
Koo Vee is drinking a Bayerisch Dunkel by Schwarzbräu at Untappd at Home
Rye porridge, lingonberry jam and tart plum. Flashback to (good) slivovice. Delicate metal. Taste of plummy caramel with bread crust notes. The acidity balances the sweetness, well judged.

Koo Vee is drinking an Ekuanot A Phase Mom by Overtone Brewing Co at Untappd at Home
Ripe mango, canned pineapple and pomelo. On musty ground. Pine-grapefruit paste, dripping. Thai mint. Very creamy taste of sage-perforated marmalade. Soft tail with a perfectly judged bitterness. The 10% is not felt, even warmed up. Impressive.

Koo Vee is drinking a Nittenauer Weißbier by Brauhaus Nittenau at Untappd at Home
Yeasty, phenolic.. clove mixed with something less floral. Banana is a bit green, in taste as well. Feels raw with all the yeastiness and lack of fruit.

Koo Vee is drinking a Secret Secret by Wayfinder Beer at Untappd at Home
A whiff of sweet dark bread. Lighter bread crust, more thickly. Just a hint of metal. Red berries, even less. The taste is soft and murky. Chocolate instead of roast, cola at the edges. Hops are inconsequential, malts caramelly and a bit simple.

Initially, honey to spare. Opening up, pervading grain. Very grainy indeed. Watery body. Unpleasant,.crude tail.
