Mar 4, 2008 Bottle shared by JohnathanL at tasting. Thanks!
Pours dark brown to black and looks like coca-cola in the glass with little head. Smell and flavor are both of strong dark malty caramel and alcohol. Notes weren’t particularly long on this beer, but the strong toffee like caramelly sweetness was what mostly stood out. The alcohol wasn’t overpowering in the flavor though.

Mar 2, 2008 Poured a clear amber/ brown color with a nice off-white head that stayed a while. Aroma is of roasted malt, caramel, and chocolate. Flavor is made up of caramel, chocolate, toffee and some dark fruit. Alcohol is hidden well. Mouthfeel is pleasant and this is a nice beer.

Feb 29, 2008 Candy like flvor that is way too sweet and syrupy. No head when I poured it into a glass. chewy and creamy but overly tart and sweet. Not a drinkable beer but not terrible on a cold dark winter night when a glass of wine just won’t do.

Feb 25, 2008 (33cl bottle from a six-pack, bought in Bischberg, Franconia) Clear, mahogany colour with a massive beige foamy head. Molassy sweet and intense dark and toasted malt aroma with caramel, chocolate and dried fruits (prunes). Sweet flavour, full bodied with a soft and pleasant carbonation and a viscid mouthfeel. Rich and aromatic roasted malty taste with caramel, liquorice and lighter notes of chocolate; molassy sweet but not sticky strong malty finish with a whiff of herbal hops. The alcohol is very well hidden and never offensive. An aromatic, also a bit deceptive malt juice in the positive sense (25.02.08).

Feb 21, 2008 Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured a deep brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma of chocolate malt and a slight fruitiness. Flavor consists of moderate chocolate, along with caramel and toffee and undertones of sweet fruit. Slight yeast flavor on the finish with a bit of alcohol coming through. Pretty nice body, and easy to drink for how much flavor it has. Definitely a nice beer.

Feb 15, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a redish hue and a dense tan head. Dried fruity sweet aroma, distinct caramel malt too. Sweet raisin and plum flavour with a solid caramel malt sweetness. Toffee and mild fruit notes lingering into the finish. Alcohol can be sensed, but mainly through adding viscosity to the beer and not in the flavour. Holds a warming finish though.
