Aug 22, 2008 Was so lucky to get a bottle of this from ebay. Best before date: 1991. Was wondering, if it is still drinkable. Yes, it was! Looks good in the glass for it’s age. Very old, smoky aroma. Starts a bit vapid, woody. The finish is scratchy, like wood again, not really dry. Surprising good!

Feb 17, 2007 If you should ever see this on a shelf do yourself a favor and run the other way. This may at one time have been a decent beer. It ages terribly. I thought,from the label,was buying a malt liquor. What I got was nothing more than a dark beer gone bad. Imagine a cross between Heinies and Becks Dark with Gramma’s attic dust and some playground dirt tossed in. Drainpour!

Jun 3, 2004 Purchased this afternoon for one dollar at a little second-hand store, found on a shelf mainly inhabited by empty bottles of long-dead American regionals. Practically opaque brown beer, dense light tan head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor extremely malty, caramel, some roast and hints of dried fruit. Very faint hop grassiness. Medium to full body. Very drinkable, although I really should savor it slowly since it’s been discontinued. Quite good.

Jan 14, 2003 Decent color with a little head and no lace whatsoever. Decent in the mouth,, quite full, but not what I was hoping for. Pretty smooth finish.

Oct 31, 2002 Yum! Beautiful dark color. Strong malt aroma and you can smell the alcohol under it. Small head. No lace. Very rich full body. Nice and smooth finish.

Jun 19, 2002 Apparently, this beer is brewed only during a full moon. Hurlimann seems to like the stronger beers (Samichlaus) and this is no exception - I could taste quite a bit of alcohol in with all that malt. A pricey brew, too.
