plovmand (1590), Helsinge, Denmark Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. Hazy orange body with a medium off white head. Fruity and malty aroma with some caramel and wheat. Heavy malty flavour with some alcohol and fruit notes. TheGrandMaster (1846), Auckland, New Zealand Sep 28, 2009 Bottle (in NZ). Pours a dark amber with a rusty head. Biscuity malt on the nose with stewed fruits and medicinal alcohol. Yummy palate. Heavy malt palate full of fruity flavours, touch of spice, and that 7.9% bite. A lingering cloying finish that makes you want to take another sip. nate2g (1034), Brisbane, Australia Sep 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy beige head. Rich aroma and flavour of toffee, dark fruit, caramel and nuts. Great balance in this beer. No hint of the alcohol. Smooth and bitter finish. Very nice - one to sip and savour. cfrancis (293), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada Sep 21, 2009 Nice beer. Taste is a little nut, toffee with a small bite of alcohol. I enjoy the entire Paulaner line. skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 21, 2009 One of my choices among the Paulaner line. What can I say that hasn’t been said among 1500 ratings except that I’ve had, I liked, and will drink again! after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Sep 15, 2009 500. Pours a crystal clear very dark amber with loose white smear of foam across the top. Dates, nuts, a little campfire smoke, and some dry leaves on the nose. Watery, light body. Toast, nuts, a little smoke, and faint hints of fruits on the mid-palate. Probably a subtle accompaniment to food. Mild nutty finish. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 13, 2009 Dark pour, roasted malts and fruits. Finishes very nicely with just a hint of alcohol burn. wkalle (110), Sweden Sep 11, 2009 Updated: Sep 28, 2009Pours copper brown with medium sized beige-white head with some lacing. Caramell with raisins and dried prunes in aroma. Flavor is very sweet and full of toasted caramell and dark fruits. Lovely thick body with a long lasting warming aftestaste and bitter finish. Perhaps a bit too sweet to get a better score.
