It's trying to be too many things, it reminds me of the Iron Hill brew that was soaked with vanilla and brandy. Beer shouldn't be that busy, it should just be beer.

The second recipe is the most tradtional. <a href="http://foodgeeks.com/recipes/recipe/5205,blaukraut.phtml" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">blaukraut</a> compliments this dish wonderfully. When you drink the bottle (or 2)serve it in goblets between 3 or 4 friends and have a wonderful meal.
