Nov 27, 2003 [Vintage 2003 sampled 25 november 2003] This is a fantasticly amber colored beer with no head. The aroma is very powerful with notes of fruit especially apricot. The flavor is also sweet with strong notes of apricot. This beer is great as a digestive. All in all it is plain great.

Jan 16, 2003 Bottled. 2001 version sampled in October 2001.
Pours red-brown and thick.
Super malty with syrupy sweetness. Will by all likeliness gain by 10-25 years of aging.

Apr 26, 2005 Updated: Jun 14, 2005(Bottle 33 cl) Vintage 2000 - and probably stored for 2-3 years.Probably one of the worlds most sophisticated beers. The altered citizenship from Switzerland to Austria hasn’t really changed any of it’s qualities. Mahogany in colour. Extremely big nose as soon as you open the bottle. Figs, dates but mostly...raisins! Almost like a good portwine. This is simply yummy stuff and one of my absolute favourites. 291204

May 4, 2001 Ruby-red colour. Some soy sauce on the nose, but nothing like the Hurlimann version. Thick, malt flavours. Smoother and drier than previous editions. The only real nuances I’m getting are the alcohol, which comes in like Slivowicz, with a honey-mead afternote. I find this less syrupy, and more enjoyable than the Swiss version. I’m still not a giant fan, but with this version I can at least understand why some people might be big fans of this.

Amber colour with yellowish head, that disappears fast. Sweet aroma with notes of alcohol. Very carbonated. Very sweet flavour (almost cloying) with notes of honey and alcohol.
