May 28, 2002 Malty, charcoaly (hey, after 3000 beers you get to invent words!), and sweet. Straightforward character, lacking depth of malty development. A more rigourous mash is recommended.

May 9, 2003 Dark amber/ruby color with a thin coating of head. Semi-sweet caramel malt and earthy aroma. Bready chocolate chip cookie dough body with moderate hoppy notes and a sticky finish. No noticeable alcohol. Somewhat unbalanced, but a decent doppelbock.

Jun 6, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with drewbeerme (thanks!). Poured a light to medium brownish color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of nuts, earhty, citrus (oranges), caramel, and burnt/roast. Tastes of lighter roast, caramel, nuts, and bready.

Jan 1, 2004 Clear dark ruddy orange-red, large lasting white head. Nose is very low-wattage, esp just after a Korbinian; caramel malts and an unfortunate whiff of urine. Sweet front, an unpleasant astringent finish with some licorice peeking through, oily and very smooth body, very low carbonation, too much alcohol (esp for a 6.4%!) in the finish.
