MiP (12160) - Sønderborg, - JAN 19, 2013
Bottle, 7.7%. Fruity and refreshing hop aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is fruity, semi-sweet to begin with, but dries out a bit. Clean and well-balanced. Almost too clean for the style, but that might not be a bad thing. Semi-anonymous but very drinkable.

Idiosynkrasie (1844) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - MAR 30, 2013
750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Unspectacular malty aroma with a wooden touch, cautious hints of honey and resin. Taste is moderately sweet malty with a touch of honey and elderberry, some fruit acid abates the sirupy viscousness, cautious hints of yeasty spicyness.

Bamsen78 (820) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JAN 19, 2013
Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of hop, malt and dried fruit. Sweetish flavour of malt, caramel and fruit. Tastes like Belgian abbey brew, a mild dubbel perhaps. Good, and rather surprising given it is from Baden-Württemberg.

Cuso (2654) - Bratislava, SLOVAK REPUBLIC - DEC 20, 2012
750 ml corked bottle, Jahrgang 2010, from quack-duck, many thanks. Hazy golden color with small white head. Sweet malt, honey, toasted bread in aroma. Sweet malty taste with honey, alcohol, spices, bitter finish. Good.

Sigmund (4187) - Tau, NORWAY - JUN 26, 2012
750 ml corked bottle, vintage 2011. A gift. ABV is 7.7%. Deep golden colour, large white head. Sweetish aroma of stale malts and stale jam. The flavour is much better than the aroma, fairly malty and spicy, some fruit too (raisins), hints of kandij sugar but not too sweet. Spicy and hoppy finish.

jonas (5044) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - JAN 28, 2012
Bottle, danke Roman. Light veggie and wheat. Not entirely well worked out. Needs a few tens of years.

Thanks Kolschtrinker. Please standby for a real rating. I’m actually enjoying the company of other beer enthusiasts instead of being a non-social "I must rate this right now!!!"

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - OCT 17, 2011
Bottled. A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

ekstedt (4544) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - SEP 4, 2011
From a bottle at GBF 2011. Clear deep golden, medium white head. Sugary and nutty malt aroma with herbal hops. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Semi sweet, medium bitterness.

pivnizub (8000) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - AUG 22, 2011
Bottle (thanx to Quack-Duck!): Deep golden to copper coloured, some floaties visible, stable creamy off-white head, rich fruity and caramelly: dried fruits, toasted malt, some wood and a good dash of hops; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; lingering herbal-hoppy and nutty-caramelly finish. Well balanced and moreish "German Triple"......
