3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Orange hued golden, quite clear, small sudsy off-white head, falls quickly, sparce lacing, soft carbonation. Thick chewy nose, raisiny, fig, all in a dark and heavy sense. However, seems somewhat only bready on the tongue, with a slight alcohol trailer. Moderately sweet, nearing the cloying factor, but is rather palatable. Not as flavorful as I’d hoped. Moderate body, medium to full mouthfeel. Fairly clean finish, just not complex or flavorful enough.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark, golden brown. Personally I thought even the aroma was cloying: sweet and honeyed. The taste was similar: sweet, sticky, oily, smoky, malty, with a lot of alcohol and a little dryness. Irritatingly fizzy. Pleased I tried it once, but it’s just not my cuppa..
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Certainly not Kulmbacher. Attractive clear amber-copper. No head. Strong singed caramel flavour. Very present alcohol feeling. Too sweet for me but not cloying, like a liquor. Some interesting flavours. Hard to pin down. Sherry substitute may be best description.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2006 Another of my faves! This is an excellent beer. Strong alcohol notes throughout. Not very carbonated. Golden brown to brown red in color. Excellent as a digestif or dessert. Try it with a shot of Scotch in it as me and my friends do (then known as Luftwaffe Fuel!). Talk about strong!! HIGHLY recommended! It"s even better when aged!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light copper-orange appearance. Alcohol and candy nose. Little to no head. Alcohol is very evident. Has elements of sherry, cotton candy and some rum soaked raisins. Not for the faint of heart. A little bit rough around the edges.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
( 330ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours clear amber with good lacing. Nose of alcohol, wheat. Taste some alcohol, chocolate, lightly sweet toasted grains. Finishes a little syrupy, but a very good beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(500ml can) Pours a large yellow, frothy head and a clear, deep amber body. Nose of sweet molasses with some hidden hops. Very sweet malt with a tinny finish. Oily texture. Interesting... Good! Thanks Rudge75!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This copper ale poured with a nice off-white head and a very malty aroma. The flavor, too, is malty and sweet with a carbonated mouthfeel and a long chalky finish.
