TBone (4975), Pori, Finland Jul 27, 2007 Draught@brewpub, Vienna
Dark nut brown color, small steady off-white head, lace. Diacetyl and burnt aromas in the nose. Caramelly, chocolaty flavor. Sweetish, not much hops found. Short aftertaste.
heavy (471), Split, Croatia Aug 29, 2008 0.5 l fliptop bottle Doggythedog shared with me, so thanks! 4,5% ABV. BB date is tomorrow, so let’s see. Poured nice murky brown body with bigger ocher head. Very nice coffee and caramel aroma with some wood (may be nuts) and a bit of cocoa. Flavor wasn’t unfortunately so nice, caramel and coffee malt based, bit watery with odd sourness which only partially comes from unpasteurized hops. Shorter finish in that sourish way. Fine enough, but it’s surely better fresh and I’ll definitely rerate it once at the brewpub. Doggythedog (972), Split, Croatia Aug 29, 2008 0.5l bottle brought from the brewpub by a friend (huge thanks, Ivana!) Poured a murky, very dark red. Big, lasting off white head. Quite nice. Smelled like... chocolate with hazelnuts and/or peanuts. A little caramel, maybe some coffee. The taste got a little acidic (bb date tomorrow, but hey, it traveled a lot and all), hazelnuts and peanut butter again. Fine, delicate maltiness. Light and quite likable even if it’s not at its peak. dunkpigen (274), Kolding, Denmark Jul 30, 2008 Tap @ the brewpub, Vienna. Pours dark with red edges and a small offwhite creamy head with lacings. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Nice roasted flavour with bitter chocolate. pivnizub (3808), Porúří, Germany Jul 21, 2008 On draught at the brewpub: Deep amber coloured, lacing and persistent beige head; solid sweet-malty and toaste-malty nose with a distinctive hoppiness in the background; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; solid sweet-malty finish wioth a distinctive hoppy "tail".

Roasted, chocolate, caramel, light hoppy, grassy, light wood, nice malty body. A bit simpel.
