25 cL bottle, courtesy of Bov - huge thanks for providing me this rare beer for my rating no 12345. Pours dark brown with a golden amber glare and a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is dark malty and quite wineous. Sweet caramelish and smooth roasted malty. Dark breadish and light spiced too. Thick syrupy caramelish. Lingering malty into the far finish. Great stuff.

courtesy of cartdan. 1995 vintage. pours dark brown, no head, nice tainted golden stain on glass. aroma had hints of soy with malts, and a strong chocolate nose. Definitely nose of a beer that has some years on it. taste, boozy, soy, lots of caramel and lots of sediments. chocolate malts. All the fruit flavors of dark fruits are there and seem muted by the age and the soy like palate. They are noticeable but not as much as younger versions.

1993 bottle at Woodshop Quad. And who says a half ounce isn’t enough? Nose of toffee, alcohol, and caramel. Copper with only a couple bubbles. Flavor was sweet and alcoholic toffee and chocolate notes. Wish I had a whole bottle!

1995 Bottle listed at 14.7% when bottled. I cannot thank Klint enough for bring this to my "Open Eyes Tasting". Pours with a light brown, quickly dissipating head covering a dark brown body with some yeasty particles sinking to the bottom (although lots of small grainy particles are left on the side of the glass (like a 50+ year old bottle of wine)). Aroma is complex and constantly changing. I get, sherry, oxidation, soy sauce and raspberries. As far as taste, I get vanilla, raspberries, soy sauce, tawny port, sherry and raisins. Again, amazing, and I cannot thank Klint enough. Syrupy mouthfeel, with light carbonation poking through. Amazingly and endlessly complex!

Had a very old bottle of this - from 1983. The year of my birth. The bottle looks great, the beer in the glass also. Almost black, no foam. Very strong and malty beginning. The middle is a bit "milder", still prickly-alcoholic. Warming finish, goes down oily. Scratchy for a moment. A light sweetness in the background. An amazing beer!

Stark alkoholischer Geruch, die Schärfe scheint durch die Alterung genommen. Deutlihe Alterspuren, süßlich, aromatisch. Sehr aromatischer Antrunk, malzig, stark, man merkt das Alter, das aber am Anfang noch wenig stört. Im Gegenteil, das ier wirkt sanfter und ausbalancierter, die beißende Schärfe, die ich erwartet habe, ist durch die Alterung genommen. Wenig alkoholisch, würzig und krätig werdend, dies verweilt auf hohem Level. Dennoch harmonisch, zum Ende hin schwächer, die Altersspuren sind hier deutlicher, gleichzeitig wird das Bier auch schärfer. Sehr sehr gut! Riesen Dankeschön an den Doppelbock für das Teilen der Rarität! Test vom 30.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: -,13,11,14,12,13 - 12,77
