Jan 3, 2009 On tap at OTH. Man, if you take this beer lightly it will kick you when you are down. It is lots of sugar, syrup and alcohol. Flavor is similar with a lack of balance leaning towards refined sugar. Did not like it, especially as a doppelbock.

Jan 3, 2009 extremely sweet and lacking any balance at all. was a bit difficult to drink at first. warming helped. no complexity and even a bit thin. Something was just off for me.

Jan 2, 2009 Flaske: Årgang 2005. Flot dybrød øl med meget lille skumhoved. Kraftig duft af æble og alkohol. Alkoholen bider kraftigt i smagen, men er velafbalanceret af en vældig sødme. Udmærket øl.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle. Dark golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is apple, alcohol. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, licorice, malt, caramel. Very sweet and alcohol flavour dominated beer, but still a nice beer.

Dec 31, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours a clear amber with an initial 2 finger head that faded into a small topper. Nose is dried fruits, caramel and alcohol. Taste is extremely sweet. Brown sugar, dates, raisins, and a slight bitter boozy finish. Medium mouth feel. This one should age a few years and mellow out.

Dec 30, 2008 dark amber brown with dense head that lasts quite a while. creamy, very sweet and smooth. low carbonation and heavy mouthfeel. flavors of caramel, nuts, chocolate, and maple syrup. thick and sweet.

Dec 30, 2008 Found out there were two versions of this and that I’d better try the original. Pours dark red with lots of bubbles. Aroma of chocolate, sweet malt, and booze. Some apple and other fruits. Flavor is very sweet. Excruciatingly sweet. With apples and nuts and chocolate, etc. It feels a bit syrupy. Definitely a sherry like quality to this one. I’d like it more if it lacked the insane sweetness.
