Nice malty, nutty, sweet alcohol aroma. Great taste - rich, malt, light hops, intense sweetness. Complex, thick body. Great sipper - Rudy, did you really order a pitcher of this for us on the last round in Buffalo a few weeks back? Yikes... Jukkabro (3039), 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. BrockLanders (751), Panama City, Florida, USA
