Mar 14, 2006 Knightly Spirits, Orlando, Fl. 11.5 oz popper-stop bottle. Dark brown pour with a thin, light, off-white bubbly head. Sweet, intoxicating aroma with hints of rum, raisins and molasses. Very reminiscent of many a German Dopplebock. Flavor has some raisins, molasses, chocolate. Afraid that it might turn cloying near the end - but stays true and strong to the finish. Alcohol is noticed - but not distracting. Very thick mouthfeel - chewy. Overall, excellent.

Mar 13, 2006 Small offwhite head, retention is good, creamy appearence with a nice stringy lace. Murky browness with a dark copper hue hidden in there. Nose is fruity, dark fruits, fig, raisin and a touch grainy, maybe some over ripe bananna notes as well. Body is medium, lightly creamy. Sweet malts, faint roast, dark fruits, caramel with chocolate notes and a light fruitiness in the medium sweet finish. 8.5%m HUH?

Mar 8, 2006 Bottle. Pours a very bubbly dark amber-brown with an average size lasting foamy off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, dark fruit and mild hops. Flavour -- wow, what a nice surprise! -- starts sweet with caramel malt and brown sugar followed by roasted malt and chocolate and finishes with a nice amount of hops. Medium to full bodied. I was not expecting this, it’s by far the best German beer I’ve had yet and probably the best Altbier I’ve had. Fantastic stuff!

Feb 24, 2006 Not a hell of a lot of notes on this one apart from the rating. Dark red brown with a little head. Lots of grassy hops. Tastes a bit like a scotch ale (?).

Feb 21, 2006 Dark leather color. Cloudy with a large head foaming over. Sweet nose with a heafty dose of malt. Tastes like straight up grain feedbag. Sticks all over the mouth like a bunch of beer glue. Bitter chocolate.
