Bottled at Untertürkheim, Buenos Aires. Cloudy deep amber, no head. Peppery calvados aroma. Fairly sweet and with a plethora of dried fruits. The medium body struggles to to survive the onslaugtof alcohol. Malt stays in the background, hops stays unseen. No bitterness. More like calvados than beer.

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2007 Bottle - December 2006 at Unterturkheim, shared with Omhper. Pours a red-copper color with almost no head nor visible carbonatation. Sherry like aroma, some brandy and fussels. Taste is sweet, dried fruits, plums. Mouthfeel is full to medium. Nice, somewhat syrupy but quite decent(7,3,6,3,13). Re rate 2/16/2007. Ruy clear color, deep nutty aroma, almonds? Rich sherry, cherries flavor, medium MF, dexterous for such a big brew.
