| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Deep blood red color with a brown tint.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 8, 2009 syrupy brown appearance with mild white head. nose of booze and dark crystal malt very little bitterness and very little hop flavor. a ton of malt flavor, likely munich and though i imagine it isn’t crystal, it sure tastes like it. the residual sugars prolong the flavor and though after knowing it is a lager, you can tell, but otherwise you would think this is an old ale. solid, if not a peculiar dopplebock MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Pouring with almost no head above a clear and brown body, the aroma was immediately giving away some dark fruit and spices. Oh yes, and some alcohol, too. Tasted like a lot of alcohol, too, but not in an overpowering way. Wonder what a bomber of this stuff would do to you? Taste was sweet but not cloying, rather like an uber Quad, along with a quite solid mouthfeel. Sweet at the finish. A most memorable beer. Bragesnak (2257), Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 29, 2009 2007 bottle. Pours out dark and thick into a snifter.

Really good but wouldn’t drink it everyday. a solid cigar beer.
