Laffer Antrunk von seichtem Getreide, schwach kommen Assoziationen von Marmelade zustande. Sofort muffiger, gummiartig und unstimmig. Das muffige im Aroma setzt sich fest, stärker wird das Bier nicht mehr. Es bleibt so bei dem laffen Getreide, das durch Gummiaromen weiter heruntergezogen wird. Ein Bier zum Wegschütten! 6/4/4/3/9/3

Trocken würziger Antrunk. Dabei besteht die Würzgikeit weitestgehend aus Getreidenoten, zu der spät noch eine leichte Herbe kommt. Die Intensität ist dank der Trockenheit meist nicht sonderlich ausgeprägt, sie reicht jedoch aus um ein angenehmes würziges Lager zu erschaffen, was besonders am stärkeren Abschlus liegt. Hier kann die Würzigkeit die herrschende Trockenheit überwinden und breitet sich aus, Hopfennuancen wagen sich zaghaft hervor. Gelungen. 7/8/8/9/9/10

350ml bottle. 1997 Vintage. Pours a translucent, purple brown with very little off white head. Nose is great, prunes, dates, caramel, figs, sherry, light oxidation, chocolate. Flavor is caramel, figs, cherries, lightly boozy, tropical fruits, rum. Full bodied, sticky finish. 13 years old and still a real pleasure to drink.

355 ml bottle, bottled in 1997 bu Hurlimann in Zurich and exported to Baltimore. Courtesy of brad, of course, the source of all our ancient beers. I remember having this one when I lived in Europe in 1993. Dark murky brown, no head or lacing. Aroma of caramel. taste is oxidized but interesting. Shows its strength.

1984 version. Flat dark brown mess. Visually this beer is not appealing at all. Tons of tar, rubber, tobacco leafs, sherry, port, dark chocolate. Incredibly intense incredibly in hood shape. Tastes like aged Chinese liquor. Still, every sip was extremely intense and highly enjoyable. I am glad we split a bottle five ways, it is just way to much for a single person to drink.

Draft. A dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, and caramel, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. The body is thick.

On tap. RBESG Rome 2010 at "Oasi Della Birra". Comes at 12% ABV. Clear golden with a white head. Sweet malt in the nose and fat alcohol. Rather solid body with loads of metal and a metallic edge. Rather boozy finish. Almost a Malt Liquor. I’m a bit confused about this one being retired. The owner of the bar said that all of his tap beers came from German brewer "Herrnbräu". Maybe the brand has moved? 030610
