Vendor sampling on this one, rough description. Soft copper brown pour. Malt forward and bready in the nose and slightly candy-ish. Some umami and light toffee flavors come through as well. In general this one was pretty muted and singular, although not unpleasant

Finally got the right chance to buy this one! 50% off sale, sold! Pours hazy dark amber with floaties and a sudsy white head that fades to a foamy film. Aroma is sweet candied sugar and pepper spice with some mild funk and muted hops. Taste is sweet spicy malt and sugar along with a little funk and subtle tartness and bitterness with subtle grape apple qualities. Palate is full calm yet fizzy and drying. Very enjoyable!

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2012 Ottima! Aroma maltato quasi di segatura bagnata, con una traccia etilica. Nel bicchiere si presenta ambrata carica. Al palato con note maltate dolci e leggermente tostate tutto sottolineato da una venatura alcolica e da una speziatura rassicurante. Si sente una beata e leggera luppolatura. Ottima la corposità. L’alcool come detto è presente ma non risulta mai stucchevole. Buona per davvero.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Süß-muffiger, zu bananiger Beginn. Süß bleibend, klebrig, alkoholisch, zum Ende dazu unpassend hopfig. Es bleibt klebrig, auch wenn in der Süße fruchtige Noten vorhanden sind ist das Bier aber nicht mein Fall. 11/7/8/7//8
