\Spicy - maybe a bit too spicy - with a touch of bitterness and a mild but apparent aftertaste as well as a potent kick. There’s not much else that you need from a beer unless you’re chugging a dozen in a sitting. Luckily the LCBOs in my neighbourhood stock this fairly regularly. Tells me that I’m living in a good neighbourhood. RE-RATED 7/26/04 - My last three bottles (bought at different times) have disappointed. Seemed to be less flavourful and more carbonated. Nowhere near as satisfying as in the past. I doubt they’ve changed the recipe, so maybe they’re just shipping stale bottles to Ontario. Or, more likely, the LCBO is selling bottles that are past their prime. In any case, just don’t look forward to opening the majestic bottle like I used to.

Nov 28, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Smells like a cross between a quad and an imperial weizen. Complex as shit. Oh and tastes awesome. About as wheaty as a beer can get, but a nice complement of dark fruits makes this one excellent brew.

Nov 20, 2008 Smells slightly metallic and slightly sweet smell as it warms. smooth, sweet, slightly milky taste that is very rich. A nice balance of wheat and fruitiness with darker ans sweeter flavors as it warms. A very nice beer. I only wish it were lower in alcohol so I could drink more!

Oct 30, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt, also picked up the authentic glassware pictured to the left. Pours a crisp cola brown color. Aromas of clove, banana, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is alcoholic clove and spice with a bittersweet finish. Good beer!
