| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Koenigs Hoeven Abt bottle pours a glowing dark caramel brown with a 2 finger beige head that has great retention and leaves lacing. Aroma is belgian yeast, citrus, weak dark fruits, green apples, and a little caramel. Flavor is huge on alcohol, sweet apple, straw, grassy hops, earth, dry leaves, dark caramel, butterscotch, fruity esters, vanilla bean, sweet grainy malt. Finish is caramel covered toasted grain and freuit with a hint of grass and low bitterness. Palate is sweet and thick at first, leading to a more thin and dry experience. Does not hide alcohol content that well for the style. ruggedman (613), Portland, Maine, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Pours cloudy red-brown amber with an average amount of off white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is heavy on the sweet malts with notes of caramel straw, banana, grapes, and butterscotch. The flavor is similar to the aroma, but less complex. The mouthfeel is average. This is a very nice beer but did not blow me away.
