Sweet, rum-like nose. Deep orange gold, but no head. Very sweet, like brown sugar. Nutty and spicy. The alcohol lingers long after the taste profile is over. Smooth, clean palette. Lot of character to this beer - enjoyable for sure. Doesn’t go with food well, except maybe dessert.

Bottle. Pours deep amber with beige head. Aroma of spicy malt, caramel and deep fruit notes. Flavor is much the same with a nice spicy kick and is sweet. Heavy body with medium high carbonation but oddly has hints of being watery. Overall, a solid brew.

Dark amber color with a port nose. Carmel mouth and very sweet malt. A surprisingly good brew.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, golden in color with an off white head. The smell is sweet, honey, chex mix, and malts. The taste is very sweet, malts, caramel, and ok.

Poured a brownish red amber with soft white head. Sweet fruit like aroma with some alcohol tint. Sweet caramel or honey flavor was subsided by an alcohol burnt malt flavor.

giallo carico nettamente alcolica dolciastra a mio parere inbevibile di per se ma abbinata al ciccolato fondente alza di gran lunga la testa

11.2 ounce returnable bottle. Bottle says its a replacement for sherry or port. I think I’d rather have beer than those, hopefully this one isn’t too boozy. Pours into my Duvel glass with a caramel/white colored head that rises to the brim. It recedes within a few minutes and leaves no lacing behind. Has a orange/copper color with a few bubbles to be seen. Has a distinctly alhocholic scent. Some ripe fruits (raisin, banana, apple) are there with some major dark caramel sugar. It smells decent but provides a warning of the alcohol stored up in this one. It has a thick creamy almost chewy mouth feel, that was not expected. Its also suprisingly not as strong as suspected. The carbonation is just enough, the sweetness is a bit cloying but not overly sweet or offensive. Alcohol barrages the mouth and throat each sip. Overall it’s a heavy duty potent brew that has to be respected in order to enjoy it properly. The other brew of this caliber that I tried was Samichlaus and this blows it out of the water although this is something i would only drink on say Christmas or Thanksgiving. For strong German brews I think the Eisbocks are the best bet.

Clear reddish brown with a white sum layer atop. Aroma of toasted malt, burnt sugar, Munich malts, strange vegetation, alcohol and mild fruit. Booze bomb is way too sweet and sticky with sugar, malt and a noticeable burn. Meh.
