Jul 17, 2007 Bottle. "Best-before date" - April 2006, but this beer still seems to be really good. Amber-coloured with a very small, almost non-existing, white head. Strong malty aroma with caramel, some fruitiness, and a hint of chocolate. Strong sweet malty flavor with some caramel and some alcohol presence. Full-bodied. Very nice.

Jul 11, 2007 This beer is something special. The aroma give a distinct flavor of butterscotch. While the malts are sweet and fruity, its not potent in its overall quality. This is a beer to try if you get the chance.

Jul 3, 2007 bottle - Pours clear golden with almost no head. It has a caramel malt aroma with a hint of dark fruit. The flavor is dominated by the sweet malts. Lightly carbonated, full bodied, and with a definite alcohol presence in the flavor, this beer goes down with a lightly bitter, alcohol finish. It’s pretty good, but I expected more complexity.

Jul 1, 2007 (330 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Kind of harsh and thin...Pours clear golden, slightly orangish. Just a wisp of a whitish head. Aroma of honey and molasses, and a little deeper is brown sugar and raisins. Mouthfeel is rather light, a bit thin, syrupy and lightly sticky. Also finishes quite dry. Flavor is sweet and malty, carrying most elements of the aroma but somehow they don’t all come together that well. A thin, bit strange-tasting doppel. Also fairly hot through finish. Not in the same class as their excellent Dunkel Eisbock.

Jun 30, 2007 11 oz draft, Bavarian Lodge Lisle, IL. Medium amber color with a full, frothy head. Nose is complex, but somewhat unrefined. Apple cider, rasins, molasses, and aged cheese seemed to dominate. Alcohol definitely present(10.2 abv on the menu), but I did not find it completely overwhelming like alot of other reviewers have. Nice creamy texture but this is not the easiest beer to drink. Can’t quite put my finger on why. Will have try again at a later date.

Jun 30, 2007 Bottle. Normal lager colour, clear. Small white head. Aroma of... alcohol. I see a point in this having a lot of fruity notes, but it’s just not handling the ABV very well.
