Fin (3385), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Aug 28, 2007 Bottle picked up from the Dodgy Deli’ Cowley Road Oxford, consumed outside my tent at Towersey Festival Poured Reddy brown with impressive beige bubbly head which quickly dissappeared. Nice aroma, some yeast but also very definate raosted overtones there and good bitter chocolate. Taste was sweet and malty but very good and with nice soft mouthfeel, bit nutty, even smokey but jolly decent. jeverszeuge (183), Germany Aug 28, 2007 the oldest monastery-brewery in the world. the lables look exactly fitting... smells spicy and of yeast. spicy start, roasty, sweet. mid stays roasty the finish is sweet and malty. aromes of caramel and plums. is there really hops in the bottle? voota (761), Melbourne, Australia Aug 28, 2007 Clear dark brown with a bubbly tan head. Aroma of plum pudding fruits, gum tree bark, cocoa and caramel. Medium body with an outstandingly smooth carbonation. Flavours of light chocolate, caramel, raisins, slight oxidation and pine. Malty finish, a bit buttery too. Good stuff. DougShoemaker (2855), Toronto, Canada Aug 26, 2007 Caramel and brown sugar aroma, auburn, pours a nice toffee head. Roasted malts, treacle and almonds all play a role in the taste. Medium bodied, balanced and pleasantly bitter. Very good. Thank You Radek Kliber. downender (2545), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Jul 30, 2007 Bottle. Reddish-brown with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of dark fruit and caramel. Flavour was sweet with a dry finish. Very easy drinking. Rune (2765), Tromsø, Norway Jul 13, 2007 500ml vom Fass at the Klosterbrauerei, Weltenburg. Deep rustic brown body under a thin white head. Dark chocolate aroma. Buttery caramel come into focus followed by the taste of coarse-grain and notes of dark fruits. The quite lively carbonation gives a foamy mouthfeel (21.06.2007). krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Jul 4, 2007 500ml. color is garnet and it pours with short off white head. light aroma overall with caramel and soft plum. nice roasty flavor with nuts and caramel making an appearance. the finish has a great hop bite and ends quite cleanly. VilleH (31), Vieremä, Finland Jun 29, 2007 (500ml bottle) Malty, "mämminen" aroma. Brownish red appearance with a thin foam. Malty, sweet flavor, balanced and soft palate. Good but lacks of character.
