mcdav2154 (295), Germany Oct 8, 2009 Pours a clear amber with a white head. This beer has a light smell to it with notes of hops, sugar, and caramel. Taste was better than expected. Full bodied beer with a sweet front and a slight bitter back. Mainly get caramel from the taste. Pretty good beer. phaleslu (428), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Sep 30, 2009 Updated: Oct 1, 200912 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours clear gold, just a little cloudy, with a medium off-white head that leaves some light lacing on the glass. Aroma of straw, grass, honey, yeast, malt. Flavor of malt, honey, bourbon, caramel, nuts, alcohol. Chewy mouthfeel, with active carbonation. Medium bodied. Boozy and overly sweet from start to finish. Lingering aftertaste of booze and honey. An unusual brew; not terrible but not something I’d seek out. Strangebrewer (208), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Sep 29, 2009 bottle. Poured clear golden with a thinning slightly off-white head. Sweet alcohol cider aroma. Definetly full bodied. Active carbonation burns the tongue temporarely. Flavour is rich and malty with light caramel, almost like whisky. Finishes sweet with a bit metallic finish. Better than I had expected. patrickfannon (274), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 21, 2009 Bottle 12 oz.. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and hints of spice. Medium body with an average finish. Okay brew. gam (1068), brisbane, Australia Sep 20, 2009 Head thin back to mild weak cover,light amber pour plenty of bubbles coming up so thats good,aroma nutty caramel nice malt,flavour sweet at first,malt coffee,caramel,grittiness very pleasing,nutty hint,taste of butterscotch,and right at the end a bitter taste,alcohol well hidden,really good taste. astrofrk (218), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 19, 2009 Golden, like a dark Pilsner. Sweet malty aroma of caramel and fruits. Flavor: Caramel, mango, chewy. Sweet finish with some alcahol burn.
This is a seriously underrated beer in my opinion. It has the kick of a Barleywine but keeps the personality of a true German Dopplebock. One cannot be much happier while getting one’s ass kicked! I will come back for this one. bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Sep 1, 2009 Bought in Austria; thanks, Mathieu. Very (overly) sweet, so much that the fruityness is in total subtilies. Dry finish and discreet hop presence. A boozy sipper, that wasn’t easy to drink. I know you have bought something better if it had been possible, Mat... blutt59 (2045), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 30, 2009 bottle, clear golden orange with no foam, aroma has some green grape, woody stems, orange peel, flavors of souring fruit, refined sugars, malty finish
