Jul 27, 2007 I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was only giving ratings to the beers but was too lazy and stupid to write down my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.

Aug 13, 2006 Personal Milestone: German rating #200 (out of 2568)!Pouring from a nifty swing-top bottle, this has a light golden brown body with a creamy off-white head. This has the sweet smell of wort, caramel, and hot buttered bread. Medium bodied. The flavor is sweet caramel, fresh bread, and honey with just enough earthy hop bitterness to keep the sweetness in check. Very nicely done, and a lucky choice for my milestone. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=18> Sam’s Wine & Spirits, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Mar 17, 2007 500mL crock. Poured a very slightly hazy orangey-caramel with a lovely initial cap of off-white head. The nose picked up bunches of sweet, well-toasted and spiked caramel, brown sugar, dried herbal and leafy hops, and a pinch of smoke... I damn near got lost in it. The flavor was also heavily malt-centric with an incredible blend of drawn caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, toffee, chewy bread dough.. accents of herbal hops, smoke, and complimentary alcohol. Crisp on the palate with well-placed bitterness and alcohol warmth. This was an excellent beer!

May 28, 2005 Swing-top bottle from the Rare Beer Club. Translucent amber body with a quickly disappearing, frothy tan foam resting upon it. Aroma conjures light caramel, crisp grassiness, warm buttered biscuits and almost some honey. Taste is creamy malts, light hops, some grassy notes, fresh bread, and mild caramel. Body is crisp with dryness around the edges and moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and dry with light caramel, biscuits, grassy notes, light fruit and buttered bread. Very good indeed!

Apr 30, 2006 Bottle: Vibrant caramel, moderate to large foamy off-white head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation. Rich malty aroma, caramel, semi-sweet, somewhat bready. Malty, smooth on the tongue, albeit somewhat light. Moderate to light body and mouthfeel. Clean, solid, but a lighter example of the style. Still tasty tho. Thanks Mike for this unexpected surprise!
