Sep 28, 2008 Bottled, thanks to Eric! Poured clear iced tea brown with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma was toasty with caramel and brown sugar at the forefront.. touch of beet sugar and alcohol warmth on the back. The flavor opened with sour darker fruit skins that came out of nowhere.. aged, dry caramel carried the middle and really dried out the palate.. grainy brown sugar and leafy bitterness found the edges.. finished short, but warm and spicy, leaving peppery alcohol on the lips. Medium-bodied and fleeting on the palate. very dry.. some nice components in there, but it struck me as powerfully average overall.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle, from Douglas88. Thanks! Red/brown pour with a deep layer of rough tan bubbles, settling with a bunch of lacing. Dry caramel aroma, raisins, rustic wood, cinnamon. Chalky mineral flavor blended with a nice raw sugar sweetness, raw walnuts, some interesting viney notes along the edges. A bit hot and not as focused as a good German doppel, but a ton of flavor and a very respectable brew.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottles from dchmela and footbalm. Thanks guys!
Pours a nice dark clear reddish brown with a smallish beige head. Smell is metal and oxidation perhaps. Taste is chocolatey, toasty bread, and caramel with a light bitterness and a touch of alcohol. Tastes a lot better than it smells, I thought. Medium bodied with normal carbonation.

Aug 27, 2008 crystal clear yellowy brown color with a long lasting light tan head. smells quite malty... floral alcohol shows and doesn’t try to hide, grain, chocolate, caramel and toasted nuts. the flavor is quite the same as the aroma... toasty caramel graininess, nuts, chocolate and a dry grainy finish. alcohol is not noticed in the flavor. nutty chocolate-y aftertaste. light to medium body given the abv% and malt sugars... watery mouth feel and an all around ’dead’ texture on the tongue...
