Beerman6686 (2388) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 27, 2008
Poured a dark amber/brown color with a small off white head. Aroma was very malty, some dark fruits in there and a bit grassy. Flavor was very malty, much like most german dopplebocks, nice caramel roastedness .

Getting my old notebook online. Bottle. Dark redish tint, creamy looking head. Smell: Hint of sweetness, fruitiness. Taste: Fruity bitters, bitters go away a little leading to a bit of chocolaty tones about halfway through. Strong good beer!

For a high alcohol beer it sure has a great taste. This beer is packed with tons of flavour with a sweet taste and smell of raisins.

Not as good as Celebrator but not bad by any means. Dark brown color with quickly diminishing head. Extremely well balanced. This is an extremely dangerous beer at 7.2%. Very enjoyable with it’s malty and balanced flavor.

Very well-hidden alcohol content; a surprisingly easy drinker for such a strong brew. Lots of malt and a little fruit flavor.
