330 ML bottle in Germany. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t this used to be about 13%? Anyway, it is one of the better beers at being able to handle the high alcohol content. At one time this was the Strongest beer in the world. Times have changed. The original ice beer!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 DerBiermeister (587) - Birmingham, Alabama, USA - DEC 24, 2009
The aroma reminds of bourbon or whiskey or rum - liquor at any rate. The appearance is a rumlike hue. The palate is strangely reminiscent of a tawny port - sweet, slightly cloying, with a lingering sweet aftertaste. Nice, but probably too sweet and too strong to be a staple.

Bottle Poured pale red orange with a medium white head. Aroma of raisins, malt and alcohol. Full body, with a malty note and a raisiny tinge, . Then comes in an unpleasant alcohol burn and an oily note to the finish.
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20 JamesTrab (16) - Matelica, ITALY - DEC 13, 2009
Sul bicchiere è di un rosso rubino, elegante, con fina schiuma densa e persistente. Al naso spicca il cacao del malto e odore di ciliegia e mirtillo.
Al palato la forte gradazione alcolica si bilancia male con il resto, e la birra appare secca ed è stata sofferta la sua consumazione.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 trapez (1295) - Hilleroed, DENMARK - DEC 13, 2009
Bottle. Sweet malt, portwine and alcohol aroma aroma. Clear orangeamber colour with beige head. Sweet spicy flavour with plenty of malt, ripe fruits and except for the carbonation sherry character.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 DeanF (1477) - Iqaluit, Nunavut, CANADA - DEC 12, 2009
Rating number 300!! This has a decent dark amber colour and pours with a little bit of head, but not a lot. Plenty of carbonation in the glass. Aroma is grains, sugars, smells quite syrupy and sweet. Taste is quite a strong mix of caramel and malts, very very sweet and hard to drink. I found it quite unappealing actually, and was expecting better.
