(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy and opaque orangey golden with no head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and dessert wine. Extremely thick almost syrupy body with notes of fruit and smoke and a touch of sherry. No real bitterness but a burning alcohol. An interesting sipper. 041008

Bottled (Schorschbräu 16%, from beerangel.de). Reddish orange colour, no head. Aroma is alcohol, sweeness along with some rather sherry/madeira like notes. Flavour is quite complex, lots of sweet fruits, alcohol and some syrup. Juiceextract too. At the same time some rather old, but sweet madeira-like notes. Very fullbodied and thick palate.

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2008 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Cloudy pale amber, virtually no head. Fruity vinous aroma. Sweet with pleny of black currant. Alcohol is definitely there, but it’s not overpowering. Dense and vinous, fruity and very malty. Powerful, but still reasonably in balance. Better than it’s weaker brother, the Donnerbock.

Ceramic bottle at Ølfestival 2012. Black coloured with no head. Sweet and light roasted aroma of caramel, dark chocolate and alcohol. Sweet and light roasted flavour of caramel, alcohol and dark chocolate. Sweet and warming alcoholic finish.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty dark fruit aroma. Sweetish malty caramel and dark fruit flavor with hints of alcohol. Has a sweetish malty dark fruit finish.

Bottle. Thanks to ChristianScheffel. Pours dark unclear brown with small bubbles on top. Nose is alcohol, vague roast, caramel and soy. Taste has some smoke, peat, alcohol, rubber , fruit and dark malts. Low carbonation. Heavy, warm and sticky.

Muddy amber color, little or no carbonation, no head. The caramel aroma is acceptable, sweet, almost fruity, and just a bit alcoholic. It has an oily mouthfeel, with powerful caramel flavor, very sweet, but only at the edge of being syrupy; the caramel has a nutty side that is pleasant (a mix of hazelnuts and walnuts). The bitterness is not too strong, there is some from the caramel and in the final the alcohol is quite evident; the in the end the nutty touch is even more present.
I have mixed feelings: it has not been brewed in a bad way, the result is not disgusting, it’s surely an interesting experience, but it’s also difficult to drink too much or too often.
