Decent very sweet pilsner. Nose and aroma have a very small hint of orange - and very sweet on the tonuge. Bready notes in the finish and ends almost on a salty note.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle from dchmela - thanks! Grainy orange nose with a little sour funk and stale coriander, edging wild grass and spaghetti-funk I notice in many Kellerbiere. Honey is faint at best. Dark orange, but still clear, pour with a soapy off-white head. Taste is sugary-sweet with a fat middle, honey/candy aftertaste, and light chemical syrup. Lightish body considering the big abv, which, though somewhat muted, still dominates everything but the highest-pitched citrus at the top. Touch of maple syrup, and though I thought I found figs for a moment, I’ve decided that was the honey. Gently warmign and not boozy. Not bad for what it is!

Sep 30, 2008 Jacksonville, Fl. - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, quick beady white head. Hard to place aroma - closest I get is artificial orange flavor - kind of like those orange candy slice things. Sticky flavor with some of the same artificial orange flavor. Some honey in there as well. Not as cloying as I expected it to be. Finished with some maple syrup sweetness and caramel. Thickish mouthfeel and it improves as it warms.

Sep 24, 2008 Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours clear copper with faint yet regenerative white ring of foam. It has a huge beastly aroma that I can clearly smell and review from a foot away from the glass. It has bold honey notes and dark fruity esters as the main notes. The taste is thick and bold with lots of honey, Belgian candi sugar, prunes and figs. This is some tasty stuff. Ends with mild honey and some mild sweet maltiness to round things out.

Sep 22, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a burnt orange with 2 cm foamy off white head that thins out pretty quickly. Aroma of honey and alcohol. Initial flavor of sugar/honey. Flavor balances out slightly by the end, thankfully. Aftertaste is still kinda sugary, but short lived. Medium body, moderate lacing, light carbonation, and obvious alcohol. Overall, worth a try, and as long as its even a little chilled you can get just about anyone to try it.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours copper with thick white head.
Aroma is very matly, fruity / floral and sweet honey.
Taste is again very sweet, honey all over, fruity and sugary wtith orange.
There is an obvious use of a lot of malt, making this beer close to a malt beverage. Alcohol quickly coats the palate and the throat, remains very sugary all the way.
Not a bad beer, remains high in abv, with a lot of sugar and malts.
