Oct 23, 2008 33cl bottle. Cool label design: poured dark brown with a medium sized light brown head. Very rich aroma of caramel, figs, raisins, prunes, etc. Taste is very malty with all the dark fruits above. Starts off sweet and finishes nicely bitter albeit mild. Undoubtedly Kulmbacher’s best beer.

Oct 22, 2008 Smells like prunes and caramel. Looks roasty brown with upper 2/3’s of glass too dark to see through. A well disguised wallop. A deep but roasty and dry flavor. Almost taste like a fuller bodied nut-brown. Not a favorite but decent. Just recently had something similar I liked better.

Oct 21, 2008 Bottle shared by footbalm, thanks man. Pours a cloudy toffee color with a medium tan head. The aroma is very sweet; almost like a Barley Wine; sweet candies and tons of rich malts. The flavor was quite interesting; loads of rich and intense malt, a ton of dusty dryness leaving your palate really quickly. Not too hot, just a bit of alcohol warmth. A bit of yeast and caramel also. Pretty damn good and interesting.

Oct 21, 2008 Dark brown pour with a brown hued frothy big head. Aroma of malt with a hint of yeast. Really big malt flavor with some alcohol evident. Reminds me of rum cake with raisons and plums. Nice balance while (almost) keeping the alcohol in the background. I like it.

Oct 20, 2008 I really liked this bottle to go from Max’s. Dark brown pour while visions of plums and candied fruit dance around your nose and on your tongue. Very thick mouthfeel with a slight nod to the alcohol. A very earthy ancient port? Yum
