dmac (1414), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Nov 6, 2009 22 oz bottle from Abe’s. Poured a deep ruby/brown with a large frothy beige head. Aroma was far more complex then I was expecting with notes of chocolate, wood, nutts and spoiled grape jelly. The body was mediumd to slightly fuller with average carbonation and a slightly creamy finish. Flavor has notes of chocolate, old nuts, bad fruit preserves, wet bread and a hint of rotting strawberries. Interesting beer and far more complex then the pale golden lager I was anticipating. Arayaga2 (930), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 5, 2009 Ruby black with thin white halo of head. Aroma is melanoidins and raisins. Taste is an odd combination of dry breadiness with raisins, cherries and treacle with residual minerality. $6/22oz fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Nov 2, 2009 Bottle 65cl.
