Jul 16, 2005 Bottle. Spicy, honey-like corny aroma with some noticeable booze and sweet touches in the nose. Transparent golden color with a whitish head that’s pretty long-lasting. Sweet, vinous, honey-like flavors to start. Mildly bitter in the middle. Finishes with more sweetness. This beer just doesn’t come all together for me. A bit cloyingly sweet. *after viewing RB, this is a doppelbock??**

Jul 7, 2005 (Bottle) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of bread, flowers, light citrus-based perfume, and some alcohol. Falvor of vintage ale malt, chardonnay grapes, caramel and a bit of alcohol bite in the finish. I think I would age a year or so before again.

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.

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.

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.

Jun 19, 2005 Rich gold appearance, very little head. Unexpectedly bitter, and rather strong alcohol content.

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.
