tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Dec 13, 2008 Pours a muddy brown with a huge tan head with great lacing and retention. Aromas of cloves, yeast, black cherries, milk chocolate, and other complexities. Taste is equally complex. Dark fruits, yeast, chocolate among other things. Amazing. floydian1 (257), FNQ, Australia Dec 12, 2008 50cl bottle into weizen glass. Hazy amber tan beer with an ample dense off white head. Aromas of wheat caramel yeasts and cherries rather like a Ribena. Rich chewy mouthfeel with flavours of cherries, yeasts and mocha but it is not too sweet.. Goes down very easily considering its richness and ABV. Quack-Duck (3129), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany Dec 10, 2008 bottle. Hazy deep amber-brown colour, large beige head. Very aromatic. Full-bodied, sweet and malty background with flavours of prunes, raisins, caramel, chocolate. Pleasantly yeasty and wheaty in the background. Delicious! Quinten (955), zaandam, Netherlands Dec 9, 2008 Dark red/ brown, fully beige head, full flavor balance, nuts, oil, bits of roasted parts, very nice complex one. Demise (57), Wellington, New Zealand Dec 9, 2008 Poured from a bottle into an English pint glass (shocking I know), so did not get much head. The aroma had strong citrus characters, as well as a prominent caramel sweetness. An incredibly smooth beer, beuatiful mix between the fruity citrus, malt and slight chocolatey flavour. A very strog coffee taste throughout which creates a welcome bitterness. Perhaps a little more caramel would balance the flavour more, but a beautiful beer none the less. harlond (2), Richmond, Virginia, USA does not count Dec 6, 2008 Bottle pours a two-inch tannish head that lasts a good few minutes. No lacing. Color is a translucent dark caramel. Spicy aroma. Taste is sweet, smooth, bready. nice mouthfeel, a little tart at the end. Great beer. grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Dec 6, 2008 Appereance is murky brown almost like sewer water. I know that sounds bad but its the best describer for what this beer looks like. Aroma is caramel, wheat and yeast overall it has a sweet aroma. Flavor is wheaty up front with a complex tart to sweetness in the finish. Carbonation is great, noticible in the finish. Smooth beer that finished slightly sweet and clean. Outstanding. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA Dec 6, 2008 Bottle, shared with my buddy Nick. Cloudy, rusty brown with a short head. Complex Nose of belgian yeast and molasses, slight breadiness, a little bit of sweet brandy, slight sourness. Apple Pie. MAYBE a little over-ripe banana. Strong black cherry flavor. Slightly thin, well carbonated. More black cherry in the aftertaste, some sourness, crisp. Pretty good beer would drink again.
