Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5
Pours ruby red without much head. The nose is a bit of caramel, a little bit of malt. The first taste is nice -- it's sweet and malty. The bittering finish goes off somewhere not-so-nice. It seems to be trying to capture the spirit of a Marzen, but ultimately ... it's just a darker commercial macro brew.

OK, so this is a hop bomb for hop heads. If you don't like hops -- don't taste it cuz there is lots. It pours out orange with some darker tinges. The aroma screams "grapefruit" and a very bright shiny one at that. A sip of this stuff will clear out your sinuses. There is enough malt to balance it, somewhat, but you really gotta like a hoppy grapefruity mouthful to enjoy this one.

Poured out black, nearly opaque. The aroma was fruity and malty. It did not scream out "coriander" which was not surprise, since they say it has anise and orange peel. It was spicy and attractive to the nose. The flavor was big and malty and a little bit of bite; the anise and orange peel are discernable. The flavor was a bit more bitter than I expected from the nose. It seems to leave a bit of thick aftertaste coat on the tongue.

This is for the 2000, at the Brickskeller, so it's probably been aged in a refrigerator instead of a cellar for the last couple of years. It poured orangey amber, and still. It had a cherry aroma, with some after aroma that was a bit butter or cheesy ... a little bit like a wet dog in the spring. It tasted like a raw cherry syrup ale, not enough smoothness in the finish. This baby has not yet hit it's peak. Give it another five years or so, and keep it in a cellar, not a refrigerator, Dave!

Poured a deep red, almost black, but not opaque. The aroma was sour, tart, almost like a vinegar. The flavor was slightly tart and sour ... like a watery balsamic vinegar. It isn't as clean a Belgian sour as the Rodenbach, but it was drinkable.
