3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice orange ruddy pour. Great even off-white head with great lacing. Slowly diminishing. Has fresh linen and orange fruit wafts. Sharp and piquant. A dull, old pine flavor with slight cracker notes. Palate is weak.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very pretty reddish copper colour. I was not too impressed with the aroma and flavour though and the beechwood (buchenholz) maturation didn’t seem to add anything. Disappointing palate.

500ml brown bottle. Orange beer, rocky foamy tan head composed of large bubbles. Sweet malt aroma and a light suggestion of floral hop. Intense malt flavour,slightly earthy.Dryish hops in the finish. Mild bitterness. A pleasant surprise.

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2005 Bottled (BB 06/2005)
Amber brown color with decent creamy brownish head, lace. Aroma has wood - maybe it is that beech - calvados and toffee. Woody hops in very altbier-like palate, good hoppy aftertaste. Caramel notes. (7/4/6/3/14 3.4)

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Moderate hops and malt aroma. Reddish-amber color with moderate fine head. Slightly sweet and roasted malt flavor with mild hops finish. The best beechwood aged beer I’ve had.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear copper colour with a thick creamy head. Faint malt notes. The flavour is mostly bitter hops and crisp carbonation. Fairly average beer.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
clear copper-orange with a small head. smell is toast/wood/crispbread - ryvita i mean. nothing much in the flavour, nutty flat malt then a strangely soapy, hard, salty finish with some roasty hints and a thin nuttiness. i don’t like the mouthfeel of this but the maltiness is nice enough. actually i poured half of it out not that it was that bad but i just couldn’t get on with it, like you know those sorts of people you wouldn’t actively avoid but are annoying to get stuck talking to cause they just don’t have anything to offer the world

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2005 Bottle, at home.
Nice colour with off-white head. The taste is bitter of either hops or the wood. Not impressed.
