| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 4, 2007 Bottle. [Vintage 2006] Incredible thick foamy white head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacing. Body was cloudy with a pale hazy amber hue. Aroma was fruit, caramel, liquorish, yeast, nutty, cinnamon, orange, spicy. Full bodied with a texture with some alcoholic notes to be felt in mouth. Average carbonation. Flavor was moderated sweet, with some bitter hoppy notes to balance it. Slightly sharp alcoholic finish, that lingers in mouth for a long time. Impressive beer, now I want to try the “Stille Nache Reserva 2000 even more”. Unfortunately I am properly not going to be that lucky. Still this was a great encounter and one I am looking forward to redoing soon. slimchill (783), Austin, Texas, USA

Starch on the nose, like cooked pasta. Ripping alcohol burn, like a bad Scotch Ale, on the front, and it doesn’t change much after that. Not for me. drewbeerme (2306), Chicago, Illinois, USA
