Oct 6, 2005 ruby chestnut clear color, rocky and foamy light tan head. sweet malty aroma - allspice, bananas in dark rum. flavor is syrupy roasted malt, sweet but with an alcohol bite like a canadian whiskey and cooking sherry. finish like over-ripe bananas that have fermented some alcohol. thanks DarkElf for this one!

Sep 11, 2005 Deep ruddy-amber with a persistent, creamy tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, tobacco, and dark bread. Sweet toffee flavor with chocolate notes and some light vinous acidity. Medium body with palatable residual sugars. Good, solid doppelbock. Thanks to DarkElf, Sudwerk’s unofficial distributor.

Jun 21, 2005 12 oz bottle, which i think was from darkelf. rich vanilla and caramel aroma, much like a root beer float. i’m surprised this isn’t rated higher, because i’m very impressed. very smooth vanilla finish, and i can see this beer going extremely well with intense chocolate and coffee desserts. thanks stephen.

Jun 21, 2005 Thanks to Darkelf for the sample. Dark brown and clear, thick creamy head settles to a thin even layer of flim. Nutty, oatmeal, malty aroma. Very bread-like aroma. Creamy medium to full bodied, low carbonation. Wonderfully balanced flavors, chocolate malt and caramel with a light hop presence. very nice brew! Thanks Stephen!
