| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2007 Bottle, Beers of Europe Poured dark brown pretty good clarity, white head. Toffee like aroma, along with some molasses. Tastes quite rich as one would expect but sweetness a little overwhelming at times a bit barley wineish in that sense, still very nice beer that has dark fruits and is quite sticky on occasion.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Aroma is full candied malt, pitfruit, treacle and spice, deep auburn, trace of red at the sides, pours a short lived toffee head. Tastes of pitfruit, treacle, candied malt, caramel, walnuts and as it warms, some toffee. Very full bodied, complex, very well balanced, bitter with a completely dry finish. Fantastic!

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Updated: Mar 2, 20081st Rating from 3rd Annual Woodshop tasting in Temple City, CA. 3/1/08. One hell of a day put on by Cquiroga, thanks for a killer day Chris. Also spent the day there with bikesanbeer, my girlfriend Cyn, wetherel, JohnC, DenverLogan, dirty_martini, jasparg, DrBil, IPAFiend, awaisanen and many others, this was one crazy day. Same Bottle DenverLogan Had below. Jully 11, 1996 24% Plato. Pours Brown with no head. Nose is sweet and crazy gnarly. Taste is sweet and strong and not so super sweet and hides however big the alc actual is. Jukkabro (3005), Tampere, Finland
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 28, 2007 Dark brown colored with red hints. Little light brown head. Rich nutty and chocolaty aroma, mild alcohol and this caramelly sweetness here. As served ice-cold,this already has excellently rich aroma. Medium to full bodied. Flavor starts also with this rich mix of chocolate-nuts-toffee-caramel, this is one fine flavor! Crispy palate. Ending is still sweet with this vanishing alcohol and nuts. Slight bitter hops in aftertaste, very complex beer. Rather strong start for hot day in Bamberg. sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 24, 2007 strange reward for getting a good grade at school. very deep maroon cherry red, doesn’t let light through. almost no head except at the rim. smells of syrup and chocolate. actually kinda reminds me of the kuhnhenn raspberry in smell. pretty good unless you take a deep whiff and get the artificial hard candy aroma. otherwise it’s got a lot of fruit. taste is, of course, very very malty. not much alcohol, but it’s at fridge temp and it’s a very weak eisbock abv-wise. i honestly love it. alcohol is starting show on the back as it warms. i find myself drinking lots of small sips of it, not even paying attention. definitely a beer worth more than the alcohol content.
