Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Yellow with a minimal white head. Aroma of both dried and fresh fruit that have been dipped into caramel. Nice! Very sweet taste with a creamy mouthfeel - made me think of a mixture of honey and alcohol. Some dried fruits and caramel as well. You can feel the alcohol (but that did not disturb me). The finish was quite dry with a bitterness that gets heavier for every sip you take. Nice!

Feb 13, 2008 Bottle: Nice light golden pour with absolutely no head. As it sits in the glass you see very .. very little carbonation. Scent is citrus with a big hint of alcohol. Surprising how smooth it is with that much alcohol.

Jan 28, 2008 Touches of honey tinged malt in the aroma, you can expect some sweetness in the taste based on this aroma, sure enough a sugary Fruit candy sweetness, with a big backkick of alcohol, that scrubs the palate dry of all sweetness and invites the nest sip. Pleasant enough winter sipper

Jan 26, 2008 Pours light orange amber with no bubbles and ZERO head. Aroma of caramel apple and sweet malts. Its good, but nothing compares to its big brother Samichlaus. The alcohol in this one burns where in Samichlaus its 14% but barely noticable. This one has a considerable bitterness to its barleywine like build, somehat metallic. The body again is nowhere near as good as Samichlaus. Too thin, syrupy, detached, weird carbonation. Samichlaus works because of the incredible balance, this beer lacks that completely and the dark malt base seems to be missing as well. I guess thats why they made a dunkel eisbock as well...

Jan 25, 2008 0.33 l bottle from a Merkur in Graz. It poured golden, much lighter body than I’ve expected, with bigger white head. Dusty, malty aroma, specially flowery, honey, a bit alcoholic with some other spices. Quite strong flavor, alcoholic, candy like bittersweet with a touch of metallicity that soon disappears turning into full bodied oily brew. Not complex at all, but pleasant, much more than let’s say malt liquors. Different than other doppelbocks, but interesting and quite nice winter beer.

Jan 25, 2008 Poured from bottle. Very dark gold, almost amber body with a very minimal head. Strong smell of alcohol and honey in the nose. Creamy, strong taste of alcohol and caramel. Candy-sweet accents. I don’t typically enjoy strong brews, but this one is okay, and I really like the sweetness that balances out the strong presence of alcohol.

Jan 25, 2008 Beautiful nose of malt, nuts, light amber color witha simple head. Flovor is malty,light acidity, dry and crisp in the mouth shooting to the side of your tongue and back of mouth with a long malty finish.
