Jan 16, 2008 On bottle in Fasslwirtschaft Riedenburg 21 Jun 07. Found it again! The last time I had it was in my pre-ratebeer period and I’ve been longing for it for years. Strong sweet malty aroma. Dark brown color. A complex caramellish flavor. Well rounded. A lasting, sweet roasted aftertaste with a pleasant sweet bitter and roasted aftertaste. A perfect stand-alone beer for dessert.

Jan 14, 2008 Pours a dark copper color with a tan head. Aroma is of dark fruits, chocolate, brown sugar, and almost no alcohol. Flavor is sweet up front with the brown sugar, chocolate, and dark fruits. Finishes dry with some alcohol warming. Pretty good.

Jan 10, 2008 Pours a molasses color with a small head, mostly a small ring of foam. Aroma is of leather and shaving cream. Flavor is very spirit-like, with notes of sherry and brandy. A bit fruity at time, with a big alcoholic burn.

Jan 4, 2008 Great looking bottle! Almost as dark as a porter with plenty of red highlights. The only foam is a light brown ring around the glass. Aroma is wonderful consisting of dark fruit and brown sugar. Flavor is just as delightful. It is amazingly fruity. Alcohol content is significant and comes through in the flavor as well as providing warmth on a cold winter night. A couple of negatives are a sour bitter aftertaste and a slightly thin feel. But this is an exceptional beer with a complex flavor.

Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. It’s hard not to get a little excited about this... Pour is a leathery brown with a quickly fading head. Aromas are almost wine-like... fruit (red grape juice, black cherries, maybe some blackberries) and a bit of sugar. The alcohol that is present is my biggest hang up with the flavor. Other than that, it has almost a wine/brandy like flavor with a touch of a brownish malt presence. I thought this would be a little more distinctive and intriguing... as is, it is good, but I’m wondering what happens if I forget about one in the basement for a while?

Dec 23, 2007 From a bottle--Poured a deep chestnut-brown body with a medium-sized fluffy beige head and magnificent lacing. Sweet malty nose with notes of roasted dark fruits. Brown sugar and molasses flavors, slightly cream vanilla in the finish. Very very smooth considering ABV.

Dec 18, 2007 Draft - beautiful deep ruby color with a nice tan head. Fruity aroma. Flavor was also of dark fruits, yet malty. Sweet, but not overly. A very nice beer

Dec 16, 2007 I made the mistake to drink this one too cold, but luckily I forgot some in my glass.... It’s dark brown with a nice head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and dark, ripe fruits. The flavour sends my thought in the direction of an abbey ale... I get notes of chocolate, dark, ripe fruits, a warming alcohol and a slightly dry, bitter finish. Absolutely interesting, but it has to be warmer than you normally would expect...
