Dec 18, 2004
On tap at 7SternBrau, Wien (with Geiserich). Black colour with tan foamed head. Sweetish dark roasted malted beer, like a sweet stout. Heavily hopped though a little boiled and sweet. Decent smokey beer but perhaps a little oversweet.

Oct 4, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Near black with a big, frothy tan head. Aroma of treacly sweet malts with some dark fruit and toastiness. Flavour had toffee, coffee and a sour edge, that reminded me of Batemans mild, before a short bitter finish. Good stuff.

Aug 29, 2008 0.5 l fliptop bottle Doggythedog shared with me, so thanks! 4,5% ABV. BB date is tomorrow, so let’s see. Poured nice murky brown body with bigger ocher head. Very nice coffee and caramel aroma with some wood (may be nuts) and a bit of cocoa. Flavor wasn’t unfortunately so nice, caramel and coffee malt based, bit watery with odd sourness which only partially comes from unpasteurized hops. Shorter finish in that sourish way. Fine enough, but it’s surely better fresh and I’ll definitely rerate it once at the brewpub.

Aug 29, 2008 0.5l bottle brought from the brewpub by a friend (huge thanks, Ivana!)
Poured a murky, very dark red. Big, lasting off white head. Quite nice. Smelled like... chocolate with hazelnuts and/or peanuts. A little caramel, maybe some coffee. The taste got a little acidic (bb date tomorrow, but hey, it traveled a lot and all), hazelnuts and peanut butter again. Fine, delicate maltiness. Light and quite likable even if it’s not at its peak.
