Pours a wonderful dark amber with a light tan head. Good aroma of raisin, plum, toffee, and vanilla. Very bubblegum. Taste is a touch lesser. Vanilla stands out, the dark fruits are very apparent, and has a sour side as well. Medium body, lots of acidity, with a sour aftertaste. Pretty good recommendation from the bartender.

i was worried this had gone bad as it had a somewhat metallic aroma, but actually turned out to be ok. was tad sweet for my tastes, but a solid example of the style.

Bière brune trouble aux reflets ambrés, coiffée d’une mousse comme on les veut. Au nez, des arômes de de caramel, de purée de bananes, de vanille et d’épices bien dosées s’en dégagent. En bouche, les fruits séchés, tels que les raisins (secs), les figues, les dattes étalent leur palette, avec une touche acidulé, qui s’apparente au levain. Les saveurs restent longtemps en place pour un grand plaisir gustatif. Belle surprise. (230-130512)

Co-worker brought this beer over. He had found it overseas while in the service. This is one of his favorites and I see why. Poors reddish with a creamy head. Taste is of raisons which is sweet with a bit of bitter, spice, fruity finish. Pretty smooth on the palate. This is a really good beer.

Bottle at Cafe Laundromat in Oslo.Maybe my all time favorite beer.Hidden alcohol.Sweet dark and a pleasure to drink.

This is hands down my favorite beer in the world. It was when I first had this beer sitting in a beer hall in Zurich that I realized how amazing beer could be and the potential beer had. It is smooth, and very flavorful. Very unique if you are used to American style beers. On the sweet side of the spectrum for sure but not as much as a pure weissbier.

Reddish brown. Some yeast, ripe banana, toffee caramel. Thick mouthfeel. Tasty. The ripe banana continues.

This one is very similar to the Weizen -Eisbock, but just not as thick and fulfilling. Same profiles, just a lighter taste with more raisins than caramel. We have to try side by side.

10/05/2012 Open Baladin Roma (tap). Ambrata carica, riflessi bruni, molto torbida, schiuma bianco sporca con venature giallognole, poco abbondante, abbastanza persistente. Al naso è un frullato di banana, con note di cereali, cacao, lieviti e spezie. In bocca è decisamente dolce, note di grano, frutta secca, cacao, banana, biscotti, caramella mou, un po’ stucchevole alla lunga. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione moderata. Buona, ma abbastanza deludente rispetto alle attese. Una birra decisamente sopravvalutata.

500ml bootle- A well rounded beer, with enough malt sweetness and hop bitterness to keep you interested. A nice sipping beer.
