Dec 12, 2009 Deep copper colour, thick creamy beige head.
Aroma is malty and sweet, dark bread, dark fruit and spices.
Flavour is full of bread, ending in a nice bitterness, unfortunately a metallic aftertaste lingers in the background.
Mouthfeel is smooth but a bit flat.
Good but not living up to the hype.

The aroma is medium to heavily malty with tones of dark, juicy bread, burned sugar, nuts, hay and syrup alongside some dried fruitiness. Earthy and herbal hops. Maybe a whisper of chocolate/coffee and liquorice. Typical Ayinger malt profile. The flavour is light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of dark bread, dried fruits, nuts, Coca Cola, coffee, anise and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is creamy and round with lively carbonation. The finish is quite empty with a slight metallic, coffee twist. Medium bodied.

Strong, nutty, almost cheesy malt aroma. Dark caramelly, with a whiff of tinned dark fruits. Full malt body. Sweet. A refined malty and fruity sweetness. Toasted, light bready, with suggestions of mild spices and dried, dark fruits. Some faint spicy hops underneth. Thick, yet soft mouthfeel. Big, lingering malt finish, with fruity and roasted notes. A malt bomb, very nice indeed.
