Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Toast-malty and nutty taste with soft notes of caramel, medium-dry toasty malty and slightly vinous fruity finish. Very good. 12.V.10

UPDATED: APR 10, 2012 Ruby red. Sticky, soy sauce or sugar syrup. Very well balanced. One of the better gulpeners.

Nice dark copper, but a beige, somewhat ugly head. Dough, simple Belgian malty dubbel style base, allspice, caramel, simple cookies. Light sweet palate but unfortunately a bit sticky aftertaste. Decent brew. Is a good beer to get into more expressive or strange craft beers. Fairly flavourful overall. (75cl bottle)

Bottle. Dark brown pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is faint sweet malty sugary grains. Flavor is sweet sugar with quite round spicy edges. Well balanced and smooth. Quite watery though.

It was quite ok, not great. Beige head, amber body. Caramel, dark fruits, raisins. Falvour is a bit caramelized malts. Wouldn’t have guessed this beer ripened for 12 months. There are much better bocks.

Primär herber Antrunk, angesichts des Alkoholgehalts kommen erstaunlich wenig Aromen hervor. Dabei ist das Bier deutlich zu trocken, was die Aromen hemmt. Kaum süß, im weiteren Verlauf zudem nur sehr dezent malzig, zu wenig. So ist das Bier fast entäuschend laff, was auch der malzige Abgang nicht ändern kann. Hier noch herb, in Teilen wenig alkoholisch und leicht nussig. Naja... Danke an Kiwianer! 8/7/8/8/11/7
