"This review is from notes that I have previously taken.
Clear copper colored w/ a nose like port and syruppy, brandylike flavors. This one will warm you. A great beer to sip on a winter day"

[2] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (5/25/2006 2:36:22 PM)
"Amber colour with a small white foam. Stunning and really complex aroma of acicidt from black cherries, red wine, vanilla, figs, wood and alcohol. Warming flavour of oak, cherries, figs, red currant, apples and brandy. Long rewarding aftertaste of alcohol, toffee, wood and alcohol. Damn good beer from one of the best breweries in the world!"

"This is one of the few beers that I've seeked out that delivered more than I was expecting. The odd thing is that my reason for not expecitng more from this beer was that I had had the regular Stille Nacht and wasn't impressed. This, on the other hand, is AMAZING. The color is a nice apple cider and amber with good clarity. Likely the age fo the beer had allowed the yeast to really stick to the bottom because it never got cloudy even toward the end. Nice glow. Aroma: Some spice, cotton candy, cider vinegar, alcohol. I know I mention the vinegar, but it doesn't show up in the flavor and is only a small part at the very end of the aroma. It actually adds to the quality of the aroma instead of detracting. The flavor is nicely malty, toffee and caramel. Very fruity like cherries and apples. Underneath you can actually taste the wood of the cask. Slightly winey. I'd put it easily in my top five. The guy I split the bottle with agreed. If I could find cases of this, I'd buy them. Wow."

[4] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/21/2005 8:46:16 PM)
"Light brown color. Medium head. Aroma is malty, honey and orange. Malty and somewhat thick. Texture is thick and somewhat oily. It very reminiscent of Grand Marnier. Very smooth. Very sweet and orangish. Great sipping beer. The 12% alcohol is evident with it oiliness and it tummy warming, but it not harsh at all. VERY nice. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. "
