Bottled. Dark nut brown, hazy. Almond aroma. Sweet and soft, somewhat orangey. Fairly malty with some caramel. Warming, yet not alcoholic. Pleasant and flavourful. A good one.

Reddish chestnut beer, reasonably clear but full of yeast spots that seem to be fixed in suspension; white head with reddish shine. End of bottle is very nearly solid yeast. It has some bready smell German style, but even a lot more dark brown candi sugar; sweet and alcoholic. Very sweet taste, gradually fading as if mildered by a bitterness that just doesn’t come out. Bread and walnut notes - like walnutbread, but much more sweet. In the end I get somehow raspberry extract. Very full bodied MF, slick, viscous even. Aftertaste is nutt again. No genuine German Doppelbock is just THAT sweet. But I agree, it comes close. Rid of this raspberry syrup flavour, and they’re there.

Hazy dark amber color. An Ale with a yeasty aroma, and the flavor is a bit vegetables and apples. Simple.

Explosive bottle; cloudy amber color. Nice malty and fruity aroma, but the age has worn out too much the malt, and the mouthfeel is thin; still can perceive the good hopping. Promising…

(draught) Dark-hazy chestnut; creamy and dense head, going down very lacey. Definitely hoppy nose, and some dark malts backing. Taste is much sweeter, full of the dark and chocolate malts. Touch of hops and tobacco in the palate, slightly more bitter. Alcohol is hidden, but for some brandy-aroma like hints, no burn. In fact a bit empty. OK beer. Doesn't stand out, but no complaints. re-rate 13/08/04 Bottle probably a bit aged (BBd not indicated). Much more vinous and rich chocolate nose. Maturing has given this beer a much better balance, (except for the yeast deposit). Great result - beer would end at 3.6 / 5 certainly (8/10 for taste, 15/20 overall, but 3/5 for appearance).

An unclear brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of corriander and malt. The flavor is sweet corriander with notes of peaches and it has a very bitter end. A somewhat weird beer.

Dark amber color; magnificent giant, thick head. Malt and spices aroma; lightly fruity (yellow berries). Good malty body; caramel; a delicate touch of roasted malt, dry, reminding a Scottish Ale; candi sugar; final with some nuts. Thanks Jacob (Lövenlund) for this bottle.

Slight gushing to rather slim white head; totally hazy caramel-orange. Very aromatic nose, herbal (lunaria), flowery, spicey as coriander and orange peel. Following the label, none of the above added. Soupy taste indeed, yeasty and coriander. And quite some citrus. Wheat, no doubt, but not obvious. There is again this flowery aroma in the taste. Can't place it. Sourish -wort character, as sour mash. Rather velvety mouthfeel, well-bodied. Quite home-brew like. Not satisfying.

Powerful aroma of corriander, yeast and wheat. Unclear dark yellow with a fine dense head though fast disappearing. The flavor is yeasty with notes of corriander and malt. The alcohol is prickling the tongue before the end is dry.
