Mar 13, 2002 Amber, generous head; toasty, burnt, but not big enough in its maltiness (especially considering its size).

Dec 29, 2003 Light amber color. Sweet aroma, malty and fruity. Warming, balanced, but missing an aromatic hopping. Reasonable Strong Lager.

May 14, 2008 courtesy of Antonio Rey Ruiz - pours a clear amber colour with a poor foam; the aroma is flowery with notes of caramel, orange and alcohol; sweet with a solid malt body; slightly oily; quite spicy; long malty and peppery finish with a warming alcohol touch

Dec 4, 2005 Cream-coloured head, fast gone; foxy-red to orange, clear beer, quite cognac like. Lightly alcoholic, very biscuity nose, cake & light caramel. Brandy cake. Bitterish-sweet alcoholic taste, still some brandy notes but with a tannine-like, woody bitterish lining. Little vanilla flavour. Creamy MF, better bodied than most strong lagers. Aftertaste keeps the bitter lining, becoming walnutpeel-like. "European Strong Lager" is often a nicer description for malt liquors from the old continent. This, however, is better than most examples. Tad harsh, but deserving for this wine country. Big thanks scaenepe!
