Mar 28, 2009 Found this one at Jax in Forsyth County. The head fades away extremely fast. Decent transparent almost translucent brown in color. Huge alcohol aroma. I mean, with 14% I would imagine that you would be able to smell the alcohol. Slight sweet malt and yeast aroma, but nothing spectacular. Very malty taste, but soon it turns into a liquor sweet taste. Not a horrible beer. The large abv certainly makes its presence known The alcohol is not overpowering, but again, it makes itself known. Decent doppelbock, with a huge alcohol taste. Too thin for me. I was hoping for a thicker palate with some buttery notes, but that is not the case.

Mar 27, 2009 Updated: Apr 13, 2009~Pours a golden clear amber with small creamy head.
~Stong scent of caramel, dark fruit, and dark chocolate.
~Sweet fruit candies and caramel taste. Also light raisin and honey.
~Great creamy feel on palate, alcohol very present, but very smooth. Warming sensation.
~ Wow what a great dessert beer. Sweet, but not overbearingly so. Makes me feel strong just drinking this stuff! Cant wait to drink it from a stein.

Mar 27, 2009 Bottle at Burger Bar in Las Vegas. The beer is a clear copper color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the snifter. Aroma of cognac, malt and fruit. Thick and syrupy body with a liqueur
character. Flavors of dark fruits and malts, plus some almond. The finish is warming and smooth with a lingering sweet malt aftertaste. Pretty enjoyable sipper overall, EKU 28 could learn a thing or two from this beer.

Mar 26, 2009 Abbott on the Hill in Toronto. Pours dark brown body. First scent of sweet malt and figs. Very sweet! Big Sweet beer. Very much in the style of the Weltenberger, but without the same depth.

Mar 20, 2009 This is a downright decadent treat. You get a buzz just sniffing this stuff. But... only a serious beer lover need buy one, and a serious beer lover that loves doppelbocks. The look is copper, little head, but some lacing. The aroma is about as bold of anything I’ve whiffed. Cherries, alcohol, dark fruit, sugar. Candy sweet palate that is ALMOST too sweet. But its not. Drink this one over the course of the evening. Going down this stuff is a little rough at the end (alcohol). I’d like to try aging one. Got this at BOTW.

Mar 20, 2009 Bottle @ Løvbjerg, Odense. Pours slight unclear copper with a small stable white foam and lacings. Nose is strong and sweet of malts, sugar, fruits and alcohol. Smooth and medium bodied. Taste is caramel, prune, sugar and alcohol. Very syrupy. Of course the ABV is overpowering. But a true sipper for sure. Warmth...

Mar 15, 2009 330 ml bottle. Pours dark, reddy brown, with little head. Sweet, slightly alchohol aroma, nice hidden. Taste is very sweet, with hints of caramel and prune. Definitely a dessert beer. Actually, very similar taste to port. Very little achohol, given the amount in here!

Mar 14, 2009 341ml bottle from SAQ. Poured amber red with almost no head. Aroma is prunes and hints of raisins. Some sweetness also. Taste is sweet prunes. Quite sweet. Some carbonation on the mouth. Alcohol is quite discrete considering the amoint. Warm effect on the finish. Nice overall but not much my type. Too much prunes I think. Rating #62.
