KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark May 22, 2008 [15 year old vintage - thanks a million Ungstrup] Hazy brown with tiny head. Sweet fruity aroma with malt, sherry and plums. Sweet flavor with dark overripe fruits, toasted malt, caramel and sherry notes. EHSRanders (1121), Randers C, Denmark May 20, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber colour with small creamy white mostly lasting head. Malty aroma. Sweet spicy flavor. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 15, 2008 Pours a darker amber with a medium fluffy beige foam on top. Spicy fruity caramel malt aroma with notes of honey. Nice sweet rich dark malt flavor, brown sugar, honey, raisins, and german hops. Light and airy body that is also sticky. Covers the 11% pretty well. Juelze (889), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Apr 25, 2008 Pours out a deep amber color with bubbly/frothy head. Aroma is very seet matl, caramel, alcohol and light fruitiness. Taste is somewhat syrupy but filled with caramel malt, fruit, and alcohol. For 11%abv it was pretty smooth and at $2.99 it was pretty damn smooth. Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA Apr 23, 2008 This guys created mixed feelings.. some loved it, other didn’t know what to think. Its defiantly a sipper, sweet initially then bitters. Not overly sweet or syrupy. Leaves alcohol skid marks on the back of the throat. Not really complex but good, and strong! Interesting too Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Apr 6, 2008 A very strong aroma but in my opinion not in a good way. A lot of alcohol comes through in the aroma mixed with smells of fruit and liquorice. The head was nice with decent lacing. The commercial description is from Michael Jackson and I have to say if you want a sherry or a port go have one. Just not enough balance to get me to come back. I like eisbocks too. the Kulmbacher Eisbock is one of my favorite drinkers but it is much more balanced then this. gringo332 (236), Richardson, Texas, USA Apr 4, 2008 Updated: Oct 11, 2008Better clear your calendar before drinking this one. Very distinct flavor, different from any other beer. Smells wonderful. ured from the bottle into a pint glass. The beer has a nice, healthy aroma featuring some pine and earthy hops, with some dark fruit scents, and a candy malt contrast. it is pretty expensive. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Apr 1, 2008 (3/10/08) Bottle at Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Best before 4/4/09. Clear amber with lively carbonation and a slowly-diminishing off-white head. Aroma of a lot of malt and caramel. Sweet flavor of malt, caramel and some alcohol. Medium to full-bodied. Great stuff but a bit too much alcoholic feel.
