Geiserich (1775), Vienna, Austria Feb 5, 2009 Bottled: Intensive nose, malty, molasse, some fruit and sugar with alcohol. In the end a remarkable fruity aroma hop note. Brown to red color with a small white head. Flavor is malty, medium sweet with some fruity notes. Quite alcoholic, rum plums and a quite intensive bitterness. Dry, bitter finish, roasted malt and bitter hops. Intensive, too alcoholic and a bit unbalanced. Regardless a good beer. nefarious (202), Clarkston, Michigan, USA Feb 4, 2009 Brown pour with a decent head. kind of a medicinal aroma with a touch of malt. The flavor is licorice and malt in the front then finishes with a slight vanilla, coconut and licorice again. Not bad the alcohol comes out a touch and it slightly bitter. not bad.
