Mar 4, 2007 Beer pours lightly cloudy amber color with a massive, Belgianesque off-white colored head that is retained. Aroma is malty and delicously so, light notes of caramel, also the aroma that I can still only identify as lagered, some light spiciness, also honey. This is a gem of a beer in the flavor department, rich and thick malts, caramel, dark fruit flavors, but not at all overdone, also a bit of earthy yeastiness, and some mild spicing. No sign of the 10% in the nose or in the flavor. Easily the best lager beer to pass my lips. This is a real gem, get it if you can!!!

Feb 22, 2007 This pours a very nice looking reddish amber with a long lasting head. The aroma is bready/malty and the flavor is slightly sweet and smooth on the tongue. It’s a very enjoyable ber.

Feb 16, 2007 Bottle from captaincougar. Pours a medium brown with a thin white head. Earthy, vinous, very malty and rich with a little alcohol coming through. A lot more alcohol coming through at the end. Thick, rich, and malty. I though this was pretty good.
