radiomgb (1923), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 4, 2005 Bottle. Orange-amber in colour with a non-lasting white head. The alcohol dominates the aroma, very sweet with some caramel malt. Huge amounts of alcohol heat pretty much numb the mouth, gingerbread, grains and a caramel sweetness make for a harsh mouthfeel. Light body, medium carbonation. All heat in the finish. SoLan (1369), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 30, 2005 Gold/ light amber. Quickly disappearing white head. Malt, alcohol, some sweetness, and a touch of banana in the nose. Very similar to Samichlaus, only everything is turned down a notch. Tastes as it smells. Full, creamy body. It’s good, but I was expecting something heavier and more complex from the "cognac of beers." It might just be too similar to Samichlaus for me to fully appreciate it. jefcon (997), Arlington, Virginia, USA Jun 26, 2005 Light aromas of spice: clove, coriander and cinnamon, as well as a grassy yeast. Light orange in the glass, clear, and no head or lacing at all. Hides its alcohol well, with some deep spices and a forward taste of unmalted cereals and hops. Palate sours toward the end and is short and light but very dry due to its alcohol heft. greebsnarf (2), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Jun 19, 2005 Rich gold appearance, very little head. Unexpectedly bitter, and rather strong alcohol content. BeerBlockaid (538), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Jun 19, 2005 Not to bad. gold honey colour. taste of malt, some grassy notes mixed with honey and sugar. strange one to get used to. def something to sip on. not bad but the alchohol isnt playing around on this one and def kicks you square in the face whaleman (2171), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 15, 2005 Updated: Jul 7, 2005Nice golden body with a soapy white head. Strong German malt character with sweet notes of exotic honey and melon. Sweet, strong lager with some detectable oxidation in the flavor. A decent, interesting sipper. Like a super-maibock.
