Mar 2, 2009 Tasted on tap at the Celebrator Best of the West Beerfest on 2/15/2009. This dunkel pours a dark brown color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel and sweet, a touch funky. A medium bodied dunkel. The malts are caramel, wheaty and sweet. The hops are earthy. It’s a touch funky and musty, but mostly sweet and malty. Nice carbonation. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet and spicy.

Apr 27, 2009 Tap @ Stone today. Pours deep brown muddy looking with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and spiced. Taste is sweet, spiced, with lots of flavor, cinnamon, great taste, lots of spice, too much spice for me. With a good punch of pumpkin in here as well it feels like a cheaper imitation of 2008 Ichabod from Alpine.

Feb 17, 2009 Draft. Rich dark mahogony beer with a dark-cream colored head. Big malty, light spice/clove aroma. Very rich caramel flavor with some dried fruit and a bit of spice. Medium-plus bodied. Rich caramel lingers with some nice malty sweetness and some dried fruit. Wheat gets a little lost, but this is a great rich caramel beer.

Dec 19, 2009 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Really dark brown, almost black, very thick, large frothy off-white head, very sticky lacing. Looks good. Spicy nose, anise and perhaps licorice fern. Reminds me of the root, digging them up as a kid. Has a hint of earthiness as well. Quite spicy on the tongue. Licorice and all-spice. Has a touch of dark pitted fruit. Mouthfeel is good, almost wheaty like but also like a Dubbel. This is better than I expected. Unique too. I can only hope this will be bottled so I can take it home with me. Full bodied. Clove, yeah, that’s it. Not so much Banana but the Clove is strong. I really enjoyed this one. I would love to have again.
