Sep 11, 2009 A strong sweet aroma, candied raisins, caramel, burnt sugar, creme brulee and prunes. Pours dark brown with nice lacing. Mouthfeel is very thin, almost watery, with alot of carbonation, ample for this style of beer. Tastes of apricot, brown sugar and raisins.

Sep 11, 2009 bottle, pours dark brown, nearing black with a tall frothy tan head., nice lacing shoots down the glass as it’s consumed. Aroma is very nice with notes of green raisin, cinnamon, a robust and full bread malt, and candy sugar. Wow, this is without a doubt one of the best and most complex German brews I have had. It’s hard to believe this is brewed under the purity law. Tons of beady malt, yeast esters and a spicy nutmeg and cinnamon finish that scream to be tried again. I’ll gladly re-attack this all night.

Sep 10, 2009 Bottle, thanks to hobbersr.Shared with hobbersr and Macadem. Pours cola brown, with a scant head and good lacing. Nose is spicy hops, plus raisins, figs, root beer, leaves and earth. Flavors of fruit, spice, earth, smoke, very nice, but a 4.1 overall? I just don’t get it.

Sep 8, 2009 I won a friendly poker game last night so this beer seemed like a good choice for a nightcap due to the name. I poured it into an over-sized Arrogant Bastard glass and realized the glass was just like the Celebrator glass, only huge. It was a serious dark brown, with ruby edges and a frothy tan head. The smell was roasty, toasty, and malty. The taste was toasty and I swear I detected licorice in there. This was a good beer but I think it tastes better on tap. It is also a little pricey at $3 for 11oz. Still, one of the best German beers I have tried.

Sep 8, 2009 A dark brown to black beer with a nice 3 finger head. Aroma was malty, chocolate, coffee, & roasted. The taste was nutty, malty, chocolate, roasty, Cokeish, & had a slight creamy mouthfeel. The alcohol is tucked in real nicely.

Sep 7, 2009 Finally got hold of a bottle of this and was not disappointed. Reddish brown with a lovely fine, tall head. Big malt aroma of chocolate, caramel, cookies and cake, liqourice; slightly minty. Sweet chocolate and caramel flavor, woth a touch of smoke and a surprisingly bitter roasted finish. Has a perfectly smooth, soft mouth. A very unique and interesting bock!
