AllAboutStout (429), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 7, 2008 Pours very dark brown with just a slight head forming on the pour. Smell is very dark malts, and dark fruits. Flavor is huge! Incredible mouthfeel. More dark fruits and a very good Weizen taste. Very little if any sign of the high ABV in the taste. Maybe just a little heat, but that’s hard to notice. Goes down way too easy for a beer this big. Tastes great and doesn’t get old at all. Very complex, very big, very good beer! tedovertu (96), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Aug 3, 2008 Amazing beer. Complex flavor (mixture of spices/cinnamon and fruits). Dark brown color and medium bodied. SHIG (1444), Oberoffligen, Germany Aug 3, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark chocolate brown with off white to tan head. Aroma is nice malt and sweet wheat. Taste is sweet fruit with sweet malt. This beer hides the alcohol very well. DaMenace123 (235), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 3, 2008 mahogany color. Spicy dark fruit smell. Similar taste, with bitter chocolate. Full bodied and complex. LilBeerDoctor (383), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 31, 2008 Bottle, 2005. Pours brown with a small tan head. Aroma is quite sweet, of raisins, alcohol, and super sweet malt. Flavor is rather vegetably (squash, carrot) and sweet. I tasted these exact same flavors in another bottle and wasn’t sure if the bottle was in poor condition, but as this is my 2nd bottle, I feel pretty confidant in regards to its vegetably taste. Strong but still drinkable (wow, I couldn’t believe it was 12%!). Decent, but not particularly a favorite.
