Mar 6, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Small head which disappeared rapidly, no lace to speak of.
Nice sweet malty flavor with some hops.
Very drinkable, but I was disappointed considering Its reputation. Perhaps I got a bad bottle, will try again.

Mar 3, 2008 33 cl bottle with English writing on it. I love the label and the little plastic goat that came adoringly draped over the neck of the bottle. I have been looking forward to this one for a while! Dark big bubbly Ayinger head that settles quickly. The aroma is very fine - yeast, malt, and floral hops. The flavor is rich, smokey malts with yeast coming in mid-swallow. There are hints of chocolate, tobacco, esters, and salmon (just kidding, wanted to see if you were paying attention). This is a super bock - masculine, but subtle and respectable.

Mar 2, 2008 12oz bottle, fridge cellared for over 1 year.
Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try this one. Dark chocolate brown body with gorgeous ruby red highlights once it’s held up to a light source. 2 finger thick tan head doesn’t have incredible retention, but it does leave a fairly thick ring of foam atop the beer, and there is some nice lacing present as well. Aromas of chocolate, caramel malts, dark fruity esters, figs, raisins, floral/perfume hops and then a wave of roasty malts and beans. A touch of phenol alcohol heat at the very end doesn’t detract much from the aroma, if at all. Fore is sweet dark fruits, chocolate, dark roasted malts, some hop bitterness and licorice. Back end ramps up the chocolate and dark fruit notes. This is delicious. Creamy palate, full bodied and very substantial feeling. Medium carbonation, this one is fun to drink. Finish is a bit boozy, chocolate malts, floral hops and sweet fruits. Excellent, world class beer.

Mar 2, 2008 Draft at American Flatbread - Poured a very dark brown in color with a thick white head. Aroma was malty and sweet with hints of fruity hops and roasted malts. Flavor was medium sweet with hints of roasted malts, brown sugar and lots of fruity esters with some hops to keep it from being too sweet. Really good!

Mar 1, 2008 Mmm. Dark deep brown pour with an off-white head. Aromas of caramel toasted malt along with some breadiness and coffee. Some burnt malt along with caramel and toffe and some quiet hops.
