Jan 2, 2006 Not at all pleased with this. Too strong and thus a too strong taste of alcohol. Not enough spice to make the taste undergo a change from alcoholic to sweet/bitter. Seems like a rather bland wine...

Dec 27, 2005 hey_kevin opening a 1995 vintage bottle at his iowa city gathering. aromas of brown sugar, caramel, and booze. very sweet taste, very good though. Like Duane said, some slight oxidation was apparent, but this was still a good beer.

Dec 14, 2005 Thanks, RAYBOY01, for reminding me that I had this at Delilah’s. Vintage 2003: Thick like molasses and smelling like molasses and alcohol, this is a creamy hot drink. Sweet malt, alcohol, dark dried fruits, dark brown sugar... very nice. The finish is a sticky sweet malt afire with alcohol. I like. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve & Winter Beer Tasting at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL 12/10/2005<font size=-1>

Dec 12, 2005 1996 Vintage. Dark brown color. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is brown sugar and molasses, very sweet. Full bodied dopplebock. Very sweet. Lots of brown sugar and molasses. Lots of dark fruit flavors as well. Lots of alcohol as well. Sort of all mixed together into a very sweet, very smooth, high alcohol beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and very smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some alcohol. Thanks to KP for sharing this one.

Dec 12, 2005 Molasses, leather, sherry, figs, dates and beans in the aroma that is quite complex but obviously past prime. Clear mahogany body with a very low, white, fully diminishing head. Full on alcohol in the flavour with plenty of sherry and marzipan and notes of figs, dates, molasses, raisins, leafy tobacco and cocoa powder. Biscuity, fig newton sweet aftertaste. Medium body with strong alcohol warming and fairly prickly carbonation. Bottle (1990 vintage) sampled at DenverLogan’s GABF 2005 wrap-up.
