Bottle (330ml cool swing-top). My 800th rating. Poured slightly hazy dark copper with an average lasting off-white foamy-creamy head. Aroma of woody roast caramel malt, fruity yeast, slightly grainy and chocolatey, the alcohol is only hinted at - complex, on the sweet side, a little mild. Taste follows the nose, but fruitier (currants) with the alcohol much more prominent, lovely rich toasty malt, this is surprisingly bitter in its long finish. Mouthfeel is bitter, syrupy, thick yet very lively. All German? This reminds me of strong belgian ale, eisbock, even harvest ale - excellent.

Jul 6, 2008 Finally a high-gravity and highly hopped German bier. My love for Uerige’s other biers notwithstanding, this bier is fantastic Darker than the normal Alts, the aroma is malty and alcoholic. Make sure you don’t drink this too cold.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Interesting shape and jazz. Pours a amber copper body. Aroma/flavor is sweet chocolate malt, nuttiness, dark fruit, raisin. A solid beer but pricey even at 8.5%

Jun 29, 2008 A clear dark brown beer with a thick dissipating light moka head. A nice aroma of licorice, dried dark fruits and warming alcohol. In mouth, loads of licorice, warming alcohol, burned coffee beans, lingering in mouth. Rich bodied. Shared with Probstk. Thanks Karl for sharing this with me.

Jun 21, 2008 33cl bottle, a very interesting flip top bottle- pours with a light carbonation, swamp water hazy brown, very slight head/lacing. Very ripe dark fruit/ prune aroma, smells candy sweet. Taste is ripe dark fruits/ prune/ dried fruit, slightest hop presence, trace of molasses, thick malt body. Alcohol stays hidden.This beer needs a food pairing to keep the palate from being tired of it all.
