Postmortem Brew Review
Dark walnut brown color.
Nutty, malted barley with a hazelnut aroma.
Nicely foaming head with clumps of foam and lacing.
Medium bodied mouth feel. 

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Wonderfully flavorful and thoroughly enjoyable! This has it all in a rare 'brown ale', (an old English brewing style.) I savored this beauty over a sumptuous fondue dinner, which it complimented with aplomb.

Upon further research, Samuel Smith has many other brews in their arsenal, of which I plan to seek out. If they are half as good as this brown ale, it will be worth the search.

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
A very solid hefeweizen with very enjoyable refreshment. Different from other beers in more ways than one. The citrus and wheat infuses your taste buds, leaving their mark of distinction. "Kristall" as in crystal clear, this one is not a cloudy as others witbeers you may have sampled in the past. There are a couple of medals displayed on this brew's label. And it's been around since 1672, so they must have it down to perfection.

I'd recommend you to pick this one up when you're looking for something different. Also recommended: Pick up a German/English dictionary if you visit the website.
