Jul 2, 2008 Thanks to Hopdog for sharing a 750 of this! Pours a deep dark hazy almost muddled brown with amber highlights and a thin head. Aroma is veyr unique- juniper berry, pine, gine, scotch pine, some sweet funky sweet malts, with some licght citrus and acidic notes. Spicy flavor, phenolic yeast hints, not reallly belgian-esque though, more mint and lavender, I get a reminder of HW Juhlia, but not quite as refined- and this one has tons of sweet sugary malts and brown sugar mlasses- hints of smoke as welll. Harsh and a bit too alcoholic of course- as is typical fo kuhnhenn.

Jun 28, 2008 Poured a murky purple brown color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of dried fruits, vanilla, caramel, light cocoa, ginger and cardamom. Taste of plums, pears, light citrus, caramel, vanilla, and a dry, oaky / alcoholic finish. Thanks Steve!

Jun 14, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, medium brown body with a creamy, light beige head.
Smell: Syrupy dark maltiness with notes of plums, strawberry jam, and a blend of various spices.
Taste: Dark malts with a taste of heavily caramelized sugars. Dark fruits and jam. A bit of aniseed and other various spices. Yeah, it’s a bit boozey, and comes across a touch solventy. Spicy, drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Restrained carbonation. Rather sticky mouthfeel, that’s for sure.
Drinkability: I am left somewhat disappointed, shaking my head all the while. It just didn’t quite come together for me. Glad to have tried it though!
