I hope #75 is a good one. I have tasted this before and recall it being enjoyable. I hope it does not let me
down.
One day, with some prompting and pressure from my soon-to-be wife, I got a dog (preferably a dachshund since that is what the wife desired). I had never had a dog but decided to take a chance. I found the first III Dachshunds in an animal shelter in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Her name was Lillie. One month later, we got a second little one, seeing how much joy the first had brought us. In comes Otto – that little rascal of a boy. Another month goes by, and we hear about a little girl named Sophie who is in a dachshund rescue in Illinois – the poor thing was found as a stray, and we found ourselves unable to say no for the third time.So, the trifecta was now complete! Lillie, Otto, and Sophie are the complete inspirations for this company. After having the dogs for about a year, I realized how many similarities there were between the dachshund and beer, such as in terms of names. For example, our dogs have the “smooth red” coat or there’s a “black and tan” coat, what great names for beer! From that point on, a complete explosion of ideas resulted in this beer company.
They have a cute logo!
That was interesting to me! Funny how little things can change a life?

Aroma and Flavor – 2.6 out
of 3 mugs
Upon opening,
there was a very slight yet pleasing aroma. The first was joyous, yet the aftertaste was a little heavy caramel flavor. It was pleasing, yet it could cause others to shy away from the beverage. It is very
creamy and smooth.
Head – 2.8 out of 3 mugs
The head is
very significant. It was almost excessive initially but dissipated to an acceptable level before I enjoyed my first sip. To date, I have only found Henry Weinhard to have a more significant head.
Zip – 2.5 out of 3 mugs
The
beverage has a nice mix of carbonation, flavors, and sweetness. I have used Maltodextrin before, and this was a nice touch. For those who do not know, Maltodextrin is often used in beer brewing. It increases the product's gravity, which supposedly improves the feel of the beer in the mouth, increases head retention, and reduces the dryness of the drink.
Post Consumption Impression – 2.5 out of 3
mugs
I really like the brew. I reduced the score slightly for the high
caramel taste, which almost created an excessive sweetness. Although this is on the higher side for sugar,
it is 68th out of 75 tested for calories per ounce.
Would I recommend this at 10.3 out of 12 mugs?
If you do not like caramel, I would not suggest the
beverage. However, if you want an enjoyable brew for all occasions, this is one of my higher-rated brews, especially as it has 1/3rd fewer calories than many others I have consumed.
