16 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black with a lacing light brown head. Dried fruit and chocolate aroma. Chocolate and a bit of liqourice make it into the flavour. Ends bitter and chocolate smooth. Lacks some complexity to be really exiting.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - fiery orange pour with a sticky lace - very bready, medium sweet aroma - fairly smooth, with well-masked alcohol, but also pretty thin - medium bitterness that tastes almost metallic - kind of corn/adjunct flavor at the end - so so.

Thanks to Lowe1983 for the bottle. Deep copper/orange pour with a medium tan head. Suprised by the aroma. Toasty caramel malts dominate. Sweet, dark fruits, plums, not much in the way of hops. Hmm, IIPA? Flavor is malty, toasted, some grassy hops, resiny, and caramel. Finishes bitter with the alcohol finally making itself known. This is more of an English style IIPA, with a fair amount of malts and not enough hops for my taste. Medium body. A little dissapointed. (Rated simultaneously with Lowe1983 in separate hemispheres)

Nice frosty golden coloured body with a large and overflowing white head. Aroma of malt, yeast and good coriander seed freshness. Full-bodied; Strong wheat and curacao flavours coupled with a potent malt backbone and some resident yeast that flavours this nicely. Aftertaste is more calm and yeastie than anything else. Overall, a good trip, but nothing far and above better than the average. I sampled this 16 ounce bottle purchased quite a while ago from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York on 29-September-2007.

50 cL bottle. Pours golden orange, clear, with a white head. Spiced to citric hoppy and malty aroma and flavour, untraditional for a mai bock - but good.

16 oz Bottle; nose of chocolate, raisins, and coffee; opaque black, brown edges, with a big rusty brown, that earns it a five; prettiest beer I’ve had in a while; flavor of chocolate, fig newtons, and a lot of raostiness, and fruitiness; finish is like figs covered with chocolate and a hint of bitterness in the back end. I liked it! Underrated!

16oz bottle; Nose of chocolate and light berries; Hazy dark brwon with a medium glass-lacing tan head; flavor has lots of tart raspberries and chocolate. Kind of a chocolate/raspberry fruit/herb (cocoa) beer!

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear, deep golden with a small, white head leaving laces. Malty aroma with lightly citrusy hops. Medium body, lightly sweet, pale malts and a dry, hoppy finish. Straight all right. 180907

Light amber color. Light arma of dry cardboard, light malt and caramel. Dry mouthfeel, but with a fairly good malt and caramel flavor. Not exceptional, but pleasant to drink.

Pint bottle pours a hazy dirty brownish amber with weak tan head. The aroma is full with a big dose of peaty malts along with dark biscuit malts, caramel and easily noticeable smokiness. Mmmm. The taste is much like the aroma with peat, smoke and caramel all hitting at once up front. That combination holds for some time until hints of lightly roasted to biscuit malts briefly surface along with caramel hard candy. My only complaints are that the body is a tad on the watery side along with the flavor notes being a bit too bright and not quit as smooth and blended as they could be. Still, tasty offering.
