Pours a very nice brown liquid with hints of red with a white foam on the top. Ive tried this many times before but I was suprised this time of how smokey it was, its some kind of cigarr taste. Also had tsstes of caramell, dark chocolate and nuts. However the beer doesnt feel as balanced as it could and the flavours doesnt fit together perfectly which drags the points down a bit.

Yeasty perfumed smell with red fruit, white chocolate - very appetising and strong. More chocolate and bready malt in the taste. Prickly carbonation and fruit esters, a touch of herby hoppy bitterness. Very nice jfb (528), Weihenstephan, Germany

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2010 Bottled. Very beautiful deep mahogany brown pour with a persistent rocky beige head. Aroma is dark brown sugar, raisin, fig, a hint of spice. It has a sweet brown sugar flavor to it with lots of dark fruits: raisin, fig, dates. Some vanilla, nuts, a little leather, and Belgian yeast spice round it out. Finishes kind of boozy. stfrancis (35), Heffingen, Luxembourg
