Bottle courtesy of Ekstedt shared @ Ekstedts bock-tasting. Pours mahogany brown with a brownish white head that quickly dissipates while leaving some trace and lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet with bread, golden syrup, vanilla, cookie dough, wood and hints of banana bread. Taste is sweet and tiny sour with yeasty bread, cloves, coriander seed, phenols, esters, wood, nuts and hints of banana, prunes and dates. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky sweet, round and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and tiny bitter with bread, nuts and hints of alcohol.

GSAP (84) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 18, 2012
Aroma heeft iets zuurs en ranzig, ook wat van roggebrood, niet echt een lokkertje. Doch het hapt heerlijk weg, romig, en de smaak is beter dan dat het ruikt. Nasmaak is zoetig en hartigs, smaak is licht kruidig met zoete tonen.

hawthorne00 (1436) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 18, 2012
Bottle. Gushed a bit. Clear dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel, hints of spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Rich mouthfeel is lightened by creamy texture and light carbonation. Taste has caramel, some chocolate and lots of stewed and dried fruits. There’s a little plummy sourness too. Spicy bitterness seems meek at first but builds in a long finish. Very agreeable, balanced and alive.

Very dark brown, a nice sized and holding head. Malty, spiced, hops. Nicely dark fruits and caramel. Decent.
