Bottled 330ml (BZ, batch #01/2012)
Hazy deep amber color, medium-sized beige head. Flowery and woody aroma. Medium to full-bodied. Sweetish maltyness, orange marmalade, citrus, berries. Heavy drinking. Sweetness covers ABV but this is not the most refreshing beers. Could work with more bitterness better.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, amber to copper colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Toast-malty aroma with shy hints of toffee, accompanied by fruity and spicy (fir needles) hops. Moderately sweet and mildly bitter flavour, quite full bodied with a modest carbonation. Slightly toasted malty taste with notes of fruit-cake, traces of toffee and spicy accents; sweet-bitter, mildly toasted finish with a delicate hops balance. Another gem from Bad Rappenau. 21.VII.12

Bottled, thanks fiulijn! Hazy copper colour, mid sized head. Citric nose. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium-full body. Some dough, tangerine and berries, but mostly big and oversized. Fairly low bitterness.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Very deep ambery brown colour, close to black, with a huge foamy beige head. Aroma is liquorice, mild roast, some caramel and toffee as well. Flavour is roasted malts, liquorice, some slight peat and cigars. Some slight fruity and riped fruity notes as well. More an American Strong Ale than Black IPA.

bottle from bierpost.com. Hazy brown colour, id-sized off-white head. Aroma of tropical fruit. Very malty, lots of tropical fruit without an immense hoppy bitterness. Very malt-accented, not very hoppy yet full of ripe tropical fruit such as papaya, mango... Delicious and well-rounded beer from a very reliable and innovative brewery.
