| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2006 An unclear brown beer with a dying orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood, caramel, and bourbon. The flavor is of bourbon, wood, and mollasses, and the body is thick. Not Your typical Doppelbock, more like a Barley Wine. omhper (12299), Stockholm, Sweden

Very malty, but somehow streamlined. Alcohol is there to add a woody vinous character. The sweetness is relatively balanced, and there is a balsamic soy sauce like Hürlimann/Triple Bock feeling to it. Short, roasty finish. Interesting and very good. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

Aroma is medium sweet, raisin/prune. Taste is sweet, raisin, soy, some sourness, alcohol. Sticky full body with no carbonation. Not sure if it aged poorly or if it ever was any good, but unpleasant now. bu11zeye (5675), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 20, 2004 Updated: Mar 7, 2006Quickly leaving head. Body is burgundyish brown. Samichlaus-like aroma, vinous maple syrup reminiscent malt with trufles undertones and unfortunately a hot soy sauce component. A bit harsh on the tongue, quite grassy, alcohol soaked grassy hot sauce (meaty, salty). Light roastiness in the finish. Body is light surprisingly though the texture is a bit syrupy with that low carbonation. Unappealing to me, but I’m not a big fan of samichlaus either. It’s interesting though, I’m glad to have tried it, but a large sample of this is a palate killer and gets to harsh.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 11, 2006 Bottle... Hazy, ruby ale with a small, creamy, beige head. The aroma blasts the senses with heavy notes of dried plum and sorghum molasses. The flavor is well-balanced and lightly tangy with lots of malt and even more bittering hops. Very port-like. Boozy. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and light carbonation. Finishes Flemish with drying alcohol. Good brew, but could have used a couple more years in the bottle.
