fine brown head swirls up nicely to leave a bit of lace that slides back down the glass and the head gets wispy, rich chocolate flavor with a nice peppery character, no change from the original thimble

Jun 11, 2008 Bright burgundy. Deep fruitiness with whole grain breadcrust. Very alcoholic, with a rich soy sauce character and again a deep fruitiness. Woody, dense black forest cake. Almost Samiclausy with a fat, warming finish.

Jun 26, 2007 Dark brown color; thin head, not persistent. The aroma is light, with caramel and very light roasted malt. The body strength is ok, with dominant caramel flavor, also malt, roasted malt, liquorice and a light sourish note, probably the wheat. Closer to a Barley Wine than anything else, but not impressive.

Mar 23, 2008 Brown with medium beige head. Sweet roasted malt in the nose that also holds notes of caramel, chocolate and alcohol. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel, spices and chocolate.

Jul 28, 2006 (22oz bottle) Clear dark mahogany body topped by pillowy beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, raisin, caramel, alcohol astringency, light banana, cherry, chocolate. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, raisin, some banana, astringent alcohol, light chocolate. Medium-full body, light creaminess. Alcohol astringency detracts significantly -- in fact, I couldn’t finish it.

Very dark ruby color, good big foamy tan head. Light banana esters, licorice and alcohol in the nose. Lightly roasted, fruity (banana esters), some alcohol but suprisingly light for this ABV, tasty, easy to drink. Sweeter than German ones, maybe because of hopping?

Sep 18, 2006 LCRBM2. Very dark brown with good coffee/malt. Really quite lovely and drinkable. Strong though. Sherry. Alcohol and dry coffee malt. Got a bit much after a couple of sips though.

Jan 2, 2007 Its a red mahogany color and the head is huge, golden and creamy. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and a little fruit. The flavour is sweet, for a moment I find it very sweet, fruity, spicy and it has notes of roasted malt, licorice and the finish is long and lightly bitter. I kind of like this one, but then again it is a bit dominating in the overall impression and it should be more wheaty. 1722
