Is that really Zues on the bottle? Looks way to happy to be a greek god. Anyhoot. Pours a thick dark dark amber & prune color with a 2 finger off white head. Nice aroma of cocoa, caramel, biscuity and has nice undertones of chocolate. Very smooth. I like, I like. ok hear it goes...cocoa, hints of melted caramel notes of chocolate but a little boozy. Lots of flavors pop out in the after taste. Nice body. fairly medium all around. Easily drunk by all.

USA version. Imperial pilsner, not a dubbel at all. Premiant and Saaz hops ar primary taste, drying hops, yet balanced not too bitter. Medium plus mouthfeel. Rather neutral aroma. Drinkable but a 750 ml. is too much.Decent of-white head.

750 ml bottle - 2007 on the cork; pours clear, roasty brown with tan head; soapy, rich aromas of caramel, nuts and mild chocolate; drinks very dry and sweet at first sip; texture on the light side, but some cream from the remaining head; kind of a strange beer and very bland on the flavor

The color is very beautiful brown/red with a little sediment and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, yeast and aromatic hops. The flavour has a light sweetness, and a slightly spicy, roasted bitterness, that also is a bit dry, and it has notes of roasted malt, caramel, spices (a bit like Christmas), light anise and coriander, aromatic hops and it ends on a dry note. A very nice and exciting beer.
