AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 jhumphries69 (1034) - Tyrone, Georgia, USA - AUG 18, 2006Color is very dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma is sweet and earthy - bread and spicey hops. Flavor is malty, roasted grain, toasted bread, well balanced with spicey noble hops, dry finish. Mouthfeel is just right - not too thin, not too bubbly, but not syrupy. I find them to taste better than Paulaner Salvator or Spaten Optimator.

En boca es de textura sedosa, algo oleosa, trago dulce de entrada con notas de maltas oscuras, caramelo, fruta madura, crema de moka, frutos secos...y con final ligeramente amargo y levemente seco donde afloran matices tostados y levemente torrefactos. Una gozada de cerveza en letras mayúsculas, la mejor en su estilo.
