Jan 4, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget.
Very dark brown, tan head. Sweet malty aroma.
Too sweet tasting, the alcohol is well hidden. Due to the decription of the style I expected somthing a lot rougher...

Jan 2, 2009 On tap at Biermuseum, Koln. Very dark brown colour. Good dry malt, OK yes its 24 degrees, but it is excellent. Really thick in the mouth. Really good toffee, natural carbonation, quite soft, some liquorice, nicely and subtley warming.

Dec 31, 2008 This is quite a remarkable beer. It pours a deep, dark brown with a rich tan head that disappears quickly. This reminds me a lot of the Spaten Optimator, a dopplebock, but this beer has more spice, nuts, and complexity. The aroma is rich and sweet. Alcohol is barely noticeable in the aroma and more noticeable in the flavor. The palate is full and heavy. The flavor has brown sugar, nuts, and alcohol, and is quite sharp and bright overall. The flavor doesn’t linger long either. This is no doubt a great winter beer.

Dec 28, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, slightly translucent burnt brown sugar brown. A small fizzy tan head that disappears quickly. Very sweet sugary aroma with some bananas foster. Definite alcohol notes. The flavor is a deep caramelized sugar with some fruit. Lots of alcohol and roasted smoky notes. The body is very rich and creamy. Pretty good.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle from Bruisin Ales. This hit me over the head with soy and teriyaki. Salty molasses. Three words for this beer: malty and salty. Three more: not my bag.
