Bottle @ home. Pours a not appealing brownish. Smell nuts and caramel. Taste decent but nothing special. Good carbo and body for 8%ABV.

Stark alkoholischer Geruch, zudem aber auch ausgleichend würzig. Würzig süß-schokoladiger Antrunk mit merkbarer Alkoholnote. Diese ist allerdings gut versteckt und kommt immer nur indirekt zum Tragen. Würzig bleibend, im Verlauf gewinnt das Bier an alkoholischer Schärfe, die Schokoladennote wird kurzzeitig wässrig, fasst sich aber im Abgang wieder und trägt maßgeblich zum langen würzigen Abgang bei. Hintergründig herb was sich aber durch die deutliche Süße nicht durchstzen kann. Kraftvolles Brune! Danke an Kristall-König für das Bier! 8/11/10/12/11/11

20/01/2010 - 33cl bottle @ home (2011-24)

Note: retasted this one after almost one year of aging. I'm going to leave the scores from the original tasting below, as they are more respresentative.

Dark brown murky beer, very dense creamy soft head, stable and adhesive. Aroma: caramel, banana, overripe fruit, vanilla. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body, creamy texture. Taste: fruity, banana, caramel, mocha turning to chocolate. Aftertaste is very dark bitter chocolate, toffee, orange peel. Really worth to let this one age for at least a year!
