| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear dark brown with a big off-whit head. The aroma has a fantastic and sweet wort-like, grainy German maltiness with tones of caramel, sweet juicy dark bread, almond paste, maple syrup, light roast, caramelized nuts and dark fruits like prunes and sugar sweaty figs. The woody alcohol notes are notable - yet surprisingly soft. Some grassy and mild herbal hops are also present. Cocoa milk. The flavour is massive malty with an alcohol sting to back it up. Tones of caramel, oatmeal cookies, sweet wort, grass and herbs. The flavour is maple sweet but the alcohol dries out the beer on the finish. Light to medium sweet. The mouthfeel is fat, syrupy and chewable with a nice smallish carbonation. The aftertaste is of dark fruits, wort, brown sugar and a light hoppy touch. Medium to full bodied.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Dark brown purplish pour with garnet highlights and thin light tan head. Nose of raisin and anise, some plum, and huge amounts of sweet dark malt, but absent is alcohol. Flavors are earthy, rum soaked fruit, black cherry, peat, leather. There is a pleasant warming sensation but not much alcohol flavor. Body is medium chewy with high carbonation. Very tasty and very alcoholic, a winning combo in my book...
