SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Mar 18, 2007 Bottle: Poured a dark black/brown with a light brown head. The aroma was floral and nuts. The taste was awesome sweet tangy nuts and caramel malt flavor. Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA Mar 17, 2007 Beautiful rich brown color with a thick and persistent head. Aroma is distinctive and has a hint of alcohol in it. This beer has a strong flavor and quite a nip to it, but it is still smooth and pleasant on the tongue, with a smoky undertone. This is a beer to be sipped, not guzzled. starfireming (309), Richmond, Virginia, USA Mar 15, 2007 Hazy rosy brown body, creamy tan head. Aroma of caramel and some alcoholic fruit. Flavour is sweet and alcoholic, with a relatively light palate. Duster72 (117), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Mar 15, 2007 Pours dark ruby color with nice 2 finger head. No lacing. Smell is yeast and dark fruit. Taste is a nice dark fruit with lots of yeast and a hint of carmel. Finishes with dry woody hops. Slight alcohol burn at lower temperatures goes away with some warming. Perfect compliment to a pot roast. Recommended. muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA Mar 13, 2007 Bottle. Pours mahogony with lots of floaties and a tall bubbly head. Aroma is vinous, lots of sour flemish-esque notes as well, some sweet candied raisin notes finish it out. The flavor is complex as well, almost just like the aroma would lead you to belive, with a very warm alcohol finish. UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Mar 10, 2007 Very very similar to the tremmens but with a darker color and only slightly deeper flavor. Definitely worth having a bottle. norushjohnnie (19), Sister Bay, Wisconsin, USA Mar 10, 2007 Not my favorite style but very good.
Color is deep reddish amber with a big brown-orange head. Aroma is primarily raisins and alcohol, big and strong. Flavors raisin, plum, and a hint of burnt malts at the finish. Interesting acidity, not what I’m used to. Bitterness and alcohol warmth finish it up. The mouth feel is a little bit watery but I felt the carbonation was ideal. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Mar 8, 2007 750 ml bottle from 2004. Dark brown pour with a nice cramy head that lasted. Aromas were dark fruit, raisin, molasses, caramel, vanilla. flavors were similar with a lot of alcohol warming. Somewhat sweet with nice dusty flavor. Good Beer.
