taste: spices, candy, malts, bit of a whiskey taste, bitterness, anis, barley, body is a bit thin , but the taste , at least in my opinion is delicious

Not my kind of smell, some weird eathy, carmal and spices. Looks aren’t to great neither. Plain dark brown, medium beige head that wont hold. Taste is red fruits and caramel. Sour-sweet. No, not my thing for sure. The bottle is good till 2012 it says, but I have my doubts. Yeasty, nothing intersting, no harmony. Never again probably.

Pours a cloudy darkbrown beer, with some large chunks in it. Beige rocky head that disappears rather quickly. A lot of carbonisation in the glass. In the nose sweet malts, caramel, coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeeling is round, full and warm body. Taste is full malty, even fruity with a little sour touch. Somewhat caramel as well, but not as much as you would think by the aroma. Aftertaste is freshly sour and malty with red fruits and berries. A very interesting and well crafted beer. It’s been 7 years since I visited the brewery and drunk the beer, should be doing this some more!

11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a dark amber/brown. Small tan head that soon leaves. Sweet malt aroma. Tastes of sweet toffee and burnt caramel. Just a hint of bitter hops. Nice beer, very drinkable.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2010 brown mocha pour. Molasses malt nose. Tastes is a slight resin, butterscotch caramel coffee.

Pours a deep brown with a large, thick, beige head. Good lace. Taste is cinnamon and maple oatmeal with toffee, caramel and some balancing hops. Very good.

Dark brown chestnut color with a thin lacing of head tinted brown. Aroma is sweet malt with notes of butterscoth and toffe. Tate is sweet and yeast, with rich malt flavor. Low carbonation. Very drinkable.

Bottle at the Trollenkelder. Brown, large thick head. Aroma of toffee and butterscotch. Taste is caramel, thick and creamy body, bitter middle and finish. Very nice.

bottle (Grüße nach Bochum!). Deep brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Medium-bodied with a solid malty base, lots of caramel, chocolate and a shy fruity touch.
