Sep 20, 2008 Bottle at Kulminator. Copper brown with a huge beige head. Complex tart fruity aroma with caramel. Sour notes. Milky chocolate, sour fruit, semi-dry finish. Rather smooth, full-bodied. This is something different. A beer that runs in all directions. Maybe not the most elegant, but definitely exciting.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottled. Brown color. Plums and raisin in the aroma. Sugary sweet, vinous flavor with pineapple and plums. The sugar hides the alcohol, but also the complexity that should be there.

Thick, murky amber body with a very slight tan rim and quite heavy carbonation. Fairly heavy yeasty stuff with some good fruity notes. Very burnt malty notes with slight spicy hints. Well balanced and very well hidden alcohol considering the high abv. Decent beer.
