Apr 7, 2004 Updated: Jul 27, 2007I enjoyed this one. Translucent brown with a moderate head. Aroma of noble hops, maybe Saaz and/or Hallertau and rich caramelly malt. Slightly bitter. Delicious. Mouthfeel is bubbly and light. Finish is slight dry. Great beer!

Jul 24, 2006 Bottle thanks to Willblake at the NYRBG. Clear, light brown color with a small beige head. Aroma is mildly sweet malts, buttery toffee and some nuttiness. Flavor is buttery, sweet malts, nuts and a hint of hops in the background. Very creamy mouthfeel.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Dark hazy brown pour with a bit of floating sediment. The date indicated this bottle was at least a year old. Fluffy off white head and great lacing. German hops and malty caramel on the nose and tongue. Dirty/earthy notes. Bitter finish. Not as sweet as I expected. Certainly quite different from the Doppel Sticke.

Mar 16, 2006 Updated: Oct 1, 2009From the beautiful bottle, with a nice burst of pressure upon opening.
The beer pours a cloudy amber with a beautiful head and lacing. The aroma is subdued, hinting at the caramel malts and grassy hops that will delight the tongue. The flavor is mellow but absolutely lovely -- warm malt, caramelized pears, a hint of pepper, iron, and a soft rounded bitter hop finish. The mouthfeel is both rich and refreshing, and overall the beer is a great pleasure to drink. What a nice brew!

Oct 18, 2005 Bottle. Extremely sweet aroma when bottle is popped. Small white head, brown caramel body. Strong caramel in aroma, very sweet, some alcohol. Flavor is not as potent as aroma, but very similar, with alcohol in aftertaste. I would have guessed that the ABV is much higher than 6.5%. Fairly good, but could use a little balance, and it seems more like a bock to me.

Apr 6, 2004 Floral, sweet perfumey nose, caramel and dark toast. Sticky beige head. Perfect chestnut hue. Sweet dark malts, dark fruit, figs, leather, wood, burnt plastic a definate, caramel, peach psychprof says..yes sir...perfect mouthfeel, medium bodied, caramel, and the most perfect balance of hops in the finish. I am very impressed. Rather bitter, Austinpowers says so, but I feel this is oh so delectable. You have this this ultimate alt. And it comes in a sweet package. And it will rock your world.
