Aug 28, 2009 Updated: Aug 30, 2009Pours dark cola with a thin tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, sweet malt, and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is more of the same, syrupy sweet, maple syrup, and a little medicinal alcohol. Very nice.

Aug 25, 2009 05.03.2004, 0,33l Bottle. The colour is black. Rich beer with a nice malty aroma. Very nice bitterness combined with the strong alcohol level. This beer tastes a lot and I really likes it!

Aug 18, 2009 Bottled (BB 12/2009).
Dark nut brown color, small beige head. Very bready, ryeish aroma with caramelly hints. Flavor has ryebread, toasted malts, raisins, plums .. overall semi-sweet. Suprisingly also some cardboard. Some similarities to Celebrator. Not mindblowing eisbock, but overall enjoyable.

Aug 7, 2009 12 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Poured a deep mahogany brown with deep scarlet edges and a large foamy light beige head. Sticky sweet aroma of buttered raisin toast, prunes, plum, chocolate, brown sugar, toffee. Full dry body that is much drier then I was expecting. The flavor is nicely balanced between the sweet aroma and dry body. Notes of raisin, brown bread, plum, prune, wood, sugary toffee. Really nice and very well done, highly enjoyable.

Aug 3, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown color with a large, but fleeting beige head. The aroma is sweet malty, caramel/toffee, ripe fruits, slightly woody, and slightly vinous. The flavor was more sweet malts, caramel, ripe fruits, woody, light chocolate, with some earthy bitterness in the finish. This is medium bodied and silky smooth. Where is the alcohol? This is very drinkable at 9.2%.
