Copper to umber color with a moderate soft peak off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toasted malt, mild husk and hints of DMS (grain silage). Full malty flavors. Some mild metal and grain as well. Full feel. Earthy finish. A touch rough, but a solid brew.

Jun 4, 2008 Pours a dark mahogany colour with a full tan head. Caramel, slight boozy notes in the aroma. Taste is full, lightly carbonated with noticeable, caramel, toffee and apples flavors.

May 13, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear ruddy orange-brown color with a light tan head. Aroma was of raisin, molasses, steeping barley, brown sugar and vanilla. Lots of smells. Delicately sweet and medium bodied. I tasted dry fruits, some white paper, earthy fall leaves, and a hint of cough syrup. It smelled better than it tasted. "A touch rough" as the previous rater put it.

Apr 23, 2008 [growler] Shared by skyview. Clear ruby pour with a large malty aroma. Flavor is caramel malt with not a whole lot more. Pretty thin mouthfeel. Overall a subpar doppelbock.

Apr 22, 2008 [Growler, thanks Skyview] Pours deep red with a good tan head. Fairly sweet aroma with a good deal of malt. Taste is vegetal, malty, with a little fruit and the grain really showing through towards the finish. Medium mouthfeel with a long finish, which in this case is not a good thing. Really not too good.
