Monday boozin'

It was a little chilly this morning, so I put a couple of dark Hefs in the fridge; by lunch, it was hot as usual outside. Alas.

First up: Kapuziner Schwarz-Weizen. Pretty good dark beer, would drink it again. But felt like it was missing a little something, reminded me a little of drinking Guinness in the US instead of Ireland -- not quite the richness you'd like.

Also, the monk on this bottle isn't quite as old-school as the one on the other. Kinda looks like he came out of a comic book bible for drunk kids.

Aventinus -- excellent dark hefeweizen, great flavor -- this was the clear favorite today, definitely will drink again. If you like hefeweizens and you like dark beers, definitely give this a try.

Also, the monkish fellow is old-school sepia style. Maybe early Gutenberg days.
