Oct 9, 2007 Striking fruity aroma with a just barely detectable pleasant sourness. Flavors are complex but in no way aggressive, extremely drinkable.

Oct 8, 2007 750ml bottle. Aroma: Huge fruitiness in the nose. Raisins, figs, and cherries dominate but a very light citrus note peeks out. Brown sugar, toasted malt, alcohol, and bready yeast. Appearance: Deep reddish brown in color and murky. Light khaki head was full and creamy with great retention. Great lacing. Flavor: Very rich maltiness with notes of brown sugar, anise, toasted nuts. Figs, raisins, cherries, and a light chocolate note. Alcohol is present but unobtrusive. Medium dry finish. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Light alcohol warmth over back of tongue. Overall: This was really good, but I think regular Abt 12 might be a touch better. Maybe.

Oct 6, 2007 (Bottled, 0.75l) Murky dark brown with a medium, creamy and tanned head. Very nutty-malty, rye-puddingy aroma with yeast and some alcohol. Rye-puddingy, nutty and anise-spicy, very malty flavor matches the aroma well. Alcohol is actually quite well hidden considering the high ABV. Quite full-bodied, smooth and creamy palate with a bit foamy carbonation. I liked this better than the regular version. It has more body and maltiness, while feeling less alcoholic despite the higher ABV. Not that complex, but nice - and even nicer and smoother as it warms up.
