Nov 14, 2007 wow! pours a huge overflowing three finger, stiff, fluffy, light tan head. aroma is lightly toasted sweet caramel malt, toffee, and a touch of black licorice. has a medium body with good lacing and just the right amount of carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. it is sticky on the hands and lips, and is probably one of the better bock beers i have had to date. very nice, surprising, well done paulaner! as it warms there is a little alcohol aroma and flavor. i guess you could say there is a little raisin in the aroma and flavor as well.

Nov 11, 2007 This beer seems to have gotten lighter over the years at the same time, I think it’s become more of a session beer at the expense of character. Has good malt and some roastiness with a bit of hop. Superb body and finish. Perhaps a bit hard on the carbonation.Great beer! This one is a draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, WI. They have bottles too.

Nov 8, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with minimal head. Aroma is sweet malt, bready with raison. Taste is sweet bread with raison; malty with little hops. My taste preferences must be changing because I used to like this beer more when I was first getting into craft beers.

Nov 5, 2007 A good beer with a strong caramel character which gives it a unique taste. However, I don’t really care for the hop character of the beer.

Nov 3, 2007 330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cool in a tulip glass.
App.: Reddish-orange copper, clear, small light tan head.
Aroma: Massive amounts of brown/burnt sugar, molasses, toffee, figs, dates, raisins and anything else dark and sweet; some wood, some herbal notes.
Palate: Medium-full body, soft carbonation with some effervescence.
Flav.: Tons more of the sweet, syrupy malts and associated dark and sweet flavours, more herbal than the nose, a touch of wood, a touch of alcohol, a touch of esters; on swallowing, it is a bit sweet, but not cloying, more alcohol shows, lingering burnt sugar/molasses.
Huge and malty – a great sipper.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Nov 6, 2007Pours a hazy golden brown with minimal head, though thin layer of foam does hang around a while. Nose is strong and sweet, with brown sugar and pitted fruit (date, raisin, fig) notes. Bready and nutty flavor; aroma components more subtle than expected on palate. Mildly bitter and barely astringent finish. A touch of alcohol fire to warm the belly. Very nice, although a tad cloying.

Oct 26, 2007 Very tasty brew! Very smooth going down. Very quaffable. Sweet tasting and not very hoppy. A long lingering aftertaste that’s very pleasant. I wish i bought more than one bottle.
