| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 29, 2007 Aroma is malty and muffy. Cloudy, brown coloured with a perfect creamy beige head. Taste is sweet, caramel malty with some dried fruity tones. Salty and carbonated overall. Aftertaste is rotten. Unbelievable, a beer looking so beautifull can actually taste so bad...

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 9, 2007 (bottle, traded with DerDoppelbock) Hazy, opaque colour with a mid-sized beige foamy head. Dusty, sweet and slightly ashy toast-malty nose, somewhat mineralic with a light fruitiness and chocolate. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonation. Dark malty, ashy (coloured?) taste with chocolate on a subtle fruitiness, finishes sweet, slightly bitter-yeasty with a brandy-like alcohol. Not very balanced, nor overly pleasant.
