Jan 7, 2009 Deep brown pour with thick and creamy light tan/slightly yellowish head. Malty caramel, some wheat, and notes of chocolate and hazelnuts on the nose. Stronger chocolate and nuts on the palate. Great long finish.

Jan 6, 2009 Rich brown colour. Thin, creamy head. Full aroma of roasted malts with hints of cocoa. Warming malty flavour. Lingering hint of cloves stays on the tongue accompanying the warming alcohol.

Jan 5, 2009 500 mL. Pours a deep clear red with a modest cappuccino head that settles to a nice film. Not too much lacing. Aromas of caramel, overripe fruits, and for some reason chlorinated pool water- yuck. Taste is rye bread with lots of molasses and cocoa powder. Long, dry, bitter finish. 7.4% is nicely hidden. Somewhat of a disappointment after traveling far and wide to find this sucker.

Dec 27, 2008 A deep mahogany color with nice creamy off-white head. A solid caramel malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor with a caramel finished. Creamy mouth feel with a dry malty finish that lingers quite well.

Dec 16, 2008 Darn good beer. Big, rich and balanced as only the Germans can do. Lusciously creamy beer full of malt but never overly syrupy or sweet. Glowing magenta brown with a frothy head and moderate lacing. Sweet and malty aroma with subtle hops. Huge malt-centric complexity. Oak, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, nutty grain and soft yeasty dough. Unobtrusively bitter finish. The beer coats the mouth pleasantly but never stickily, and the feel is velvet smooth. I dont know about the bread in a mug cliche, but it is certainly a chewy glass of delicious malt.
