| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Nose of dried fruits, roast, chocolate and slight smoke. The mouthfeel is faintly slick but thick, a slight warming but well blended for a beer of this strength. Dark chocolate, cherries, raisins, figs, molasses, cloves, bannana, toffee, caramel. It is all in there. Finish is warm but rather dry. Linnet (112), Umeå, Sweden

Aroma is malty, sweet. warming, jam, honeylike. Flavour is sweet, honeylike,a bit metallic reminiscent of samichlaus. There is caramel and it has a vinous quality. Mouthfeel is smooth woth small bubbles, medium body. There is a faint bitterness in the finish. This beer was very good, but it is so sweet that it got a bit overwhelming at the end.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Big, figgy, sherry/plum bock aroma with bitter chocolate and light vinegar- quite good. Very dark, clear, rootbeer brown beer, tall head in a pint glass, cool holographic crystal effect on the label. Strong, but nice and smooth. Reminds me of Moretti La Rossa. Fairly sweet, prune-y flavor, reasonably boozy. A chalky, chocolate finish over a viscous beer -- making for a pudding-like mouthfeel. Really a good beer, but one or two is plenty.
