Oct 30, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a reddish brown. Sweet caramel/roasty aroma. Roast malt/chocolate flavor with a touch of fruit and great hops. Nice alcohol kick at the finish.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle into sniffer. Pours dark red with a short lived white head. Smells like heavy candies (caramel and toffees). Taste is very strong of alcohol and hops. I liked the taste, but couldn’t drink this with dinner. Then again, if you haven’t eaten before you drink one, you may fall over.

Oct 19, 2008 11.2oz bottle. Brilliant looking beer, dark amber/red really beautiful. Very sweet, a little too much. Couldn’t tell it was 14%. Not bad.

Oct 15, 2008 Updated: Oct 16, 2008I must say, I’m enjoying this far more than I did when I first tried it. Pours the color of a well-aged rum (very pretty) with a quickly dissipating head. Smells like candy. Molasses, brown sugar, toffee - sweet malts abound. That sweetness manages to hide the 14% remarkably well, but it’s a little cloying - I wish there was a better balance to the flavors. It actually reminds me somewhat of the DFH world wide stout - but without the depth and complexity offered by the chocolate / coffee notes in the stout. Thick and a bit sticky, but still, very intriguing.
UPDATE: About an hour and a half later, I still haven’t brought myself to drink the last of this bottle - as time goes on, the sweetness gets worse, and it really starts getting to you.

Oct 13, 2008 Excellent beer for a 14% abv beer. Sweet toffee aroma. Very malty and nicely aged Excellent end of evening beer to finish off the night. Not a bear to start the evening with.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle pours amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma is strong toffee, caramel, tootsie roll, alcohol, and sweet smells. Mouthfeel is medium body. Flavors are strong toffee, alcohol, fruit, brown sugar, candy, and over the top sweetness. Overall not a bad brew. Just too much alcohol with the other ingredients have a hard time mixing well.

Oct 3, 2008 A very, very interesting beer. Sweet, sweet smell. Beautiful color, but absolutely no head. To me, tastes like a mix between beer and a liquor (maybe port?) due to the creaminess and the extreme sweetness. A little too sweet for me, but my friends (who don’t drink too much beer) loved it. I would lean towards using this primarily as a dessert.
