May 27, 2008 Beer pours with a nice frothy head, but no lacing, the exact color of cola. Aroma is hard to describe...it smells sweet. The flavor is also really sweet, bordering on but not quite too sweet. A lot going on in this one, sweet dark fruit, some earthiness...not quite smokey but maybe musty and nutty in some fashion. Really hard to describe, but pretty good. The mouthfeel was rich and almost crisp like a lager. I enjoyed this.

Apr 4, 2008 Nce aroma, smoky malts. Average to smallish head... diminishing to lace. The flavor is malty, dark and sweet like you’d expect from a doppelbock but maybe a tad more watery than I’d expect?

Mar 4, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate brown with a beige head. Malty aroma with chocolate and caramel notes. Very carbonated which takes away from the richness and smoothness of the chocolate malt flavor. Nothing special.

Feb 28, 2008 Bottle from The Keg - Ruby and clear with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of munich malt, toffee, caramelized wort, and a few slight fruity notes. Tastes of munich malt, toffee, doughy, sticky malt. Full bodied with lush carbonation. Pretty enjoyable doppelbock, sometimes I find them a bit too sweet but this one struck a nice balance.
