pours copper, with mocha head.
Aroma and taste, light mouthfeel, grainy with plenty of good fruits, some sugar, malt with hints of caramel.
Found it to be rather light in body for its 8% abv.
gunhaver (1024), Tampa, Florida, USA May 29, 2009 Bottle. Dark brownish body, some red highlights, with a dark tan head and sticky lacing. Nose is of dark fruit, raisins, caramel, wheat, a slight hop influence, and spicy ginger. Lots of dark raisins and caramel flavors, burnt sticky malts, some chocolate and roast in the finish. Full-bodied, balanced very well and quite yummy. Definitely one of my top lagers. michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA May 16, 2009 Draught at TND: Aroma of fruit, cherries, malts, light cocoa, and light caramel. Poured black/deep ruby in color with a medium-sized, light brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of cherry, chocolate, malts, light cream, and a hint of alcohol. Full body. Viscous, sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Rich, creamy, chocolate finish is a bit sticky. I was surprisingly impressed. 8%ABV is barely noticeable.
