And I can’t go giving high marks to a well-made beer that makes me gag. ugh. powerful stench of rotting pawpaw drowned in soysauce. Horrifically sweet and chunky in the mouth with more soysauce and prunes. I even checked by sniffing some kikkoman. It was the same. Sorry, just not my thing. thanks anyway motel for sending it wilkie (1191), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 7, 2003 Very sweetly malty nose. Nice head--which is whitish. Beautiful balance of the caramel and chocolate malts. Alcohol is noted in the flavor but it does not burn. God damn good beer. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 6, 2007 Wonderful brew. Pours a dark brown with almost no head at all. Sweet malty aroma with hints of raisins, dates, figs. Flavor is rich and darkly sweet, more of the dark fruitiness, a touch of yeast and a massive - but not overwhelming - alcohol presence that lends a nice warmth. Great lingering aftertaste. Very much like a doppelbock, only more so. Excellent. Tranquillity (1167), Espoo, Finland
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2007 Yeah! Beer field trip in Köln. Draught (lucky me) at the biermuseum. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Thich beige head, dark cola colour. The taste is extreme! Thick, oily, fluffy at the same time. Notes of malt and dark bread. Looooong finish. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 24, 2006 Malty aromas with some soy sauce and light alcohol. Almost black with ruby red highlights. Medium to full palate. The taste is massive malt with a yeast presence as well. carruthm (1161), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2004 Poured dark brown with reddish hues with a small off-white head that dissipated quickly and left no lacing on the glass. The aroma is strong and vinuous, and seems to echo hints of grapes or raisins. The taste is very complex, with hints of raisin, brown sugar, and spices, with a syrupy sweet finish laced with a slight alcohol twinge. I’m not particularly fond of this style, but this is a fine drink nonetheless.
