Sep 21, 2007 330 ml bottle. Aroma of honey and toffee? Orange tinged gold color with virtually no head. Medium body with very mild, near creamy, carbonation. Almost syrupy. More like drinking a cordial. Brandy flavored cordial. Heat burns the edges of the tongue. It has sugar, it has brandy flavor, it has something that is actually attractive. In the end there is bitter, but it is difficult to ascribe. I vote for Sass. It’s a good experience, but not a session beer. No regrets at having the experience, and I would do it again. (and again) Reflect not on what it should or could be, but appreciate it for what it actually is.

Sep 20, 2007 Flaske. Pilsner gylden. Duft som en malt likør hvis Årgangsøl og masterbrew er normalen for denne type. Meget alkohol i både smag og duft. Ikke nogen udpræget nydelse.

Sep 18, 2007 Pours a delectable amber with honey yellow edges, faintest wisps of bubbles scattered across the surface. Nose of toffee, honey, and yes, cognac, a trace of wooden hops; similar on the palate, alcohol definitely makes itself known, somewhat sticky for a lager, although clean finish with lingering yeasty bite.

Sep 17, 2007 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden yellow colour with peach notes, brief white head. Malty nose with tropical fruit, orange peel and grassy notes. Sweet with hints of marzipan. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, lots of malt sweetness and dominant notes of fiery alcohol. Notes of grass, hay and toffee in the finish. Full body, really sweet. Better balance than expected but still dominated by alcohol sweetness. Nice, but Samichlaus is more balanced despite the higher alcohol level.

Sep 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 2007Sarà anche the cognac of beers, ma a me ha lasciato un’impressione per niente piacevole; chili e chili di alcool nell’aroma e nel sapore. Schiuma inesistente, colore biondiccio fosforescente. Una doppelbock ’rinforzata’ con risultati non troppo armoniosi. ENGLISH TEXT HERE Could also be "the Cognac of beers" but to me it has leaved a bad impression; tons of alcohol in the aroma and flavor. Non existent head, fosforescent blondish color. A "forced" dopplebock with disarmonic results.

Aug 28, 2007 Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet malts and hops along with some slight alcohol. Flavour is slightly metallic, quite fruity and malty with some nice burning alcohol. Long alcohol and toffee in the aftertaste. Not bad.
Jukkabro (2983), Tampere, Finland
Aug 27, 2007 Golden colored, small white head. Sweet, fruity, caramelly, rich
bock-spiced aroma. Alcohol comes up mildly. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is richer with this sweet fruitiness, spices, honey and raisins also there. Alcohol also present, but not too much. Aftertaste is fine balance of warming alcohol and sweet fruits, still some bitterness comes up. Good bock, flavor is way richer than aroma.
