Jul 21, 2008 1989 vintage bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp. Pours dark brown with some setiments. Surprisingly a fluffy beige head. Sour aroma with dark fruits. Flavour is raisins and prunes and clove. The expected banana is all gone with the age.

Jul 24, 2007 A staff favourite when I worked in an ( now taken over several times since...) off licence chain. We had some great German beers delivered to our door, this was one of them, "dark satisfying & delicious" according to my notes.

Mar 8, 2007 A Sim rate (Bottle from the Kulminator): Apparently from the 80’s, I don’t think this beer is necessarily at its best. The aroma is strong and has butterscotch and bitter honey. Smells much like a port but again I think this may be more due to its aged than a true representation of EKU at their best... The flavour is similarly port-like with a muted dunkel flavour. Nothing particularly weiss about it. Palate lets it down - especially for a dunkelweiss.

Feb 15, 2007 Cidery color with a thin white head, and dark brown sediment chunks at the bottom. Aroma is malty with a slight acetic edge. Taste is dull and not even mustering the malt of the aroma. Thin and weak. $2/500ml

Aug 1, 2006 Bottled at Kulminator (1989 vintage). First of all; I’m very surprised that this 17 years old beer with an ABV of only 5,1% still tastes good, and therefore I chose to enter the rating. It is copper-colored and lightly sparkling, with a huge, dense off-white head that lasts. Caramel, slighlty roasted malt and hints of alcohol and spices in the aroma. The flavor has roasted malt, caramel and some slightly burnt notes towards the slightly sour finish. Thin body. (060714)
