3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden alcohol appearance, no head or lacing. Very bocky aroma with presence of alcohol, aroma has hints of blueberry pancakes I think. Flavor is full of sugery fruit flavors with that cherry bock background, flavor is alcoholic as well. This isn't that bad, I think a little underrated for it's flavor.

Bottle. Small and quickly disappearing off-white head. Clear amber body. Dry honey aroma. Sweet and sugary honey hops flavor with just a hint of alcohol.

Bottle dated best before 2007, estimated at about 5 or 6 years old, courtesy of Brewnoser. Dark amber body with a small beige head that fades. Sweet caramel aroma, sugars and caramel malt. Sweet caramel malt flavour is lovely with a dry not in the finish. Average palate is smooth. (3+) Quite nice, this had stood up marvelously if its that old! Many thanks for the chance to try this, it was quite pleasant. Amazed that this is rated so low.

After pouring, the head disappeared before I could note its color. The beer’s coloring was a pleasant orange/amber, but the accompanying aroma was a bit too sweet for me. This sweetness carried through too heavily in the taste, almost overriding the malt, and clung to the back of my throat long after most had splashed into my belly. It was warming, all right. The alcohol taste was a tad too strong, reminding me more of the old days when we used to drop a shotglass of bourbon into our steins than it did of even a barley wine.

You guys will hate me but for me this is extreme expl of European strong lager. Despite it’s potency it did had nice head that was killed fast by alc. Sweet malty aroma covered alcohol, wow good job. I did not like it but over all I was impressed that such strong beer could be so human.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Thickish palate. Darkly sweet. Rich fruity undertone. Slightly spirity aftertaste. Okay but heavy going.
