UPDATED: AUG 21, 2011 This is a favorite of mine - perfect for nursing over a quiet winters night like a nice snifter of cognac. I am proud to have turned several people on to this beer and i always have some around to nurse through the winter. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a crystal clear deep mahogany color with very little head that disappears very quickly. The brew has the texture of of brandy without the burn. The aroma is sweet and nutty. There is a burst of sweetness, plum and molasses in the flavor. Some faint bitterness lingers. There is some alcohol burn. Definitely a slow sipping beer more reminiscent of wine or brandy. A classic.

Bottle, pre-Rita festivities. Pours a beautiful golden brown, with glorious lacing. Aroma is alcohol, molasses, raisin, and toffee. Flavor is a sweet ass-kicking of alcohol, sugar, toffee, and cotton candy. Wonderfully coating palate soothes the tongue. Great beer.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cognac aroma, copper colour, tiny cream head. Tastes like Single Malt, well balanced, smooth for 11%. Boldly assertive!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
330 ml bottle. From mein-biershop.de.
Clear mahogany colour with small off-white head.
Sweetish malty aroma with typical strong strong Bock notes, bread and toffee. Strong malty flavour with berries, dark fruits, sugary sweetness and alcohol. The alcohol really can’t be passed - it’s there.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Copper bronze, low head and condition. Starts with a nutty almond aroma like marzipan, then becomes like smelling a handfull of raw malt, then Drambuie and finally alcohol. Chewy mouthfull of malt with more alcohol obvious and a hint of strawberries. Finish is like alcoholic cough syrup. Messes your head up.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mostly clear and deep amber with a frothy, but fading, beige head. Sweet, fruity nose. Thick and syrupy malts followed by a mild carbonation. Finishes curiously dry. Quite a few flavors and aromas; some were odd, but nothing was too off-putting. Notes of raisins, pear, apples, plums and figs. Lesser notes of wood and sherry. Alcohol is masked well; just a little warmth in the throat, for the most part. Cozy beer. Pleasant to drink.
