Nov 20, 2009 Rich mahogany, thin lasting off white head, light lacing.
Aroma is lightly malt, some caramel, dark fruits, cake.
Flavour is quite malty, lots of caramel sweetness, fruits, cake, cookies, some alcohol.
Sweet mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation.
Finishes long, sweet, dry, moderately bitter.
Weird. Pretty sweet and the alcohol seems to pick up at the end.
330ml bottle obtained in a trade with Koelschtrinker, thanks Roman.
Opened on February 27, 2009.
Best before July 9, 2009.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Sweet prune/cherry aroma with mild astringency. Clear ruby color with giant head. Sweet dried cherry and barley malt flavor with moderate astingent alcohol finish. Decent - nothing spectacular though.

Nov 14, 2009 Reddish amber with a rather big beige head that settles quickly but leaves some lacings.
The smell is quite nice. Lots of caramel and malts. Notes of strawberry jam, vanilla and leafy hops.
Sweet malts and caramel up front in the mouth. Again, I get a note of strawberry jam. Some other light sweet fruity notes. Some peppery and grassy hop notes. The finish is quite long with a mild lingering sweetness overpowered by a bitterness that misses the mark quite a bit, a hint of hops and sweet and warming alcohol.
Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel combined with slightly too gentle carbonation. It gets a bit heavy after a while.
A decent beer. The flavors in the mouth are good but the finish is off and unbalanced. The taste of alcohol, although not overly powerful, gets to much after a while. I don’t think the different flavors (mostly sweetness and warm alcohol with spicy hop notes) go that well together in this one.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle that I picked up Bremen, Germany and consumed at Landsmeer, campsite, Amsterdam, 29-10-09 Pours reddy brown in colour with a white head and light carbonation. There is good clarity to this, toffeeish character, oozy sweetness runs through this. Some caramel a touch of vanilla, its tasty stuff but a bit sweet. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.5
