mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Jul 27, 2008 Tan diminishing head. Dark reddish brown color. Dark fruit and molasses aroma. Really tangy taste. Sweet maltiness all over. A bunch of fruitiness. Has an almost brandy taste. greenleaf (90), Florida, USA Jul 26, 2008 bottle 1pt .9oz. Pours deep brown with red highlights and a fairly small off white, beige head. Smells of dry barley and caramel. Taste is bitter up front and in the finish. This beer reminds me of a Schwarzbier. Chrism86 (273), Melbourne, Australia Jul 26, 2008 Pours deep brown almost mahogany with substantial tan coloured head. Nose is really pleasant, showing caramel and maple syrup, also quite bready (reminded me of panatone...) Palate is more expressive (in terms of the stlye) displaying dark sweet malts with some more caramel and toffee coming into play. (still reminds me of panatone) Upon finishing, some smokey roasted malt comes into play accompanied by a touch of bitterness to round out the palate. mbgrayson (141), Anaconda, Montana, USA Jul 21, 2008 Updated: Sep 5, 2008I like this one a lot. A smooth, rich doppelbock. Has a nice, slightly sweet, malty flavor. Thumbs up! BeerFanDan17 (610), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2008 Very tasty and not too malty. Very good balance of dark, sweet, and smokey flavors. Definitely smooth. eboats (887), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark brown with a medium brown head. Aroma is sweet wet malty bread with some caramel and slightly roasted notes. Flavor is a sweet candy, some caramel, strong syrup malts, some maple and bread. Has a syrupy mouth feel with a generous amount of malt. Homer321 (127), Rockledge, Florida, USA Jul 14, 2008 wonderful aroma of sweet malt, poured a nice head that quickly disspated, but left lacing. dark ruby in color. taste is very sweet, slightly warming, but not overpowering. minimal roasted flavors, slightly burnt sugar taste. palate is smooth. overall a nice beer that is pleasant to drink. I would buy this again. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Jul 12, 2008 i was excited when i first saw this in my downtown beer store, but it seemed to fall when i popped it open at home... pours with a lack luster head, and has a molasses, toffee strange sugar aroma... 1 in 5 americans has genital herpes... some nice flavours and abv is well hidden but it doesn’t really do it for me... happy to try it, happier i won’t have to again!!
