Nov 7, 2007 Bottle at Monks in Philly. This is one of the best beers I ever had, period! The complexity of the smells was awesome. Very fruity and malty. The taste was just as complex but perfectly consistent. This was the last beer of the day and I’m glad I stumbled upon it. Now I need to hunt it down for a case. This is truly a wonderful beer.

Nov 4, 2007 Darker brown pour with a ruby hue. Aroma is rich and sweet - figs, raisins, caramel, molasses, and some sugary malt detectable. Flavor is a tad sharp and sugary - molasses, brown sugar, raisin, and a bit of alcohol. Nice mouthfeel with a slight burn at the finish. Pretty good D-bock.

Oct 28, 2007 Nice Dopplebock. Lots of caramel and fig, a little too sweet, but very nice.

Oct 27, 2007 50cl bottle. Pours clear and amber with a thin light brown head. Aroma is sweet and roasty and palate is almost syrupy. Taste is very sweet with intense fruit notes. Enjoy this one slowly.

Oct 15, 2007 Bottle (thanks to toadman). Pours a clear amber-red with quickly vanishing tan head. Aroma is lightly toasted bread and a little dark fruit. Taste is smooth sweet caramel and figs. Chewy doughy mouthfeel. I barely taste the 9%. Very nice.

Oct 12, 2007 Tap. Pours a darker red tinged brown with a fairly large tannish head. Nose is sweet and fruity. Flavor is dense and rich, slightly roasted but dried fruit (prunes...oops dried plums) with dark brown sugar sweetness. This was delicious although certainly not a session brew but rather to be savored.

Sep 30, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, deep mahogany body with a bubbly, effusive off-white head.
Smell: Sweet-smelling, rich aroma of syrupy malts along with notes of cinnamon, sugar-soaked dark fruits, and molasses.
Taste: Sweet, sticky maltiness with flavors of toasted toffee, brown sugar, and just a drizzle of molasses. Copious amounts of lush darks fruits like figs and raisins. Hints of cinnamon and tobacco. There’s a faint mint character that emerges near the fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Ample carbonation. Nicely warming.
Drinkability: I may not remember much, but I will never forget the time I shared an Ettaler Curator with my pal, Ando.
