Sep 22, 2009 Bottle. Was definitely looking forward to this one, but I was a tad disappointed. Color was close to almoond. Aroma of caramel, nuts and fruit. Flavor was the same with a lot of bread, dough and alcohol. Dark fruit throughout as well. Smoke/roasted notes were subdued.

Aug 20, 2009 Dark clear brown red tinted body with a tan creamy head. Laces well. Smell of roasted malt and caramel. Notes of raisins and licorice. At first the taste is sweet like a doppelbock normally is but then you get kicked in the mouth with a bitter creamy raisin aftertaste that lasts awhile. Yet you still have the slight raisin taste which is great when mixed with the dry bitterness. Best doppelbock I’ve had since it’s not too sweet.

Aug 19, 2009 500ml bottle (BeerAngel.de)
Deep reddy brown, large doughy head. Treacly malty aroma. Smooth
palate, soft carbonation. Rich roasty malts in the taste. Sweet and
cakey, some dark fruits. Tingly bitter finish. Hides 7.1% well.

Aug 15, 2009 [2316-20090719] 500mL bottle. Mild fruity malt aroma hints at cherry wood. Hazy, dark brown amber body with a quick creamy light yellow head. Fruit bar malt flavour has a long sweet finish. Medium body. Nice, a lot going on.

Aug 3, 2009 bottle bb9/15/09 via psprings...
dark walnut -woody brown color with a soft off white head.
the nose is extremely malty... followed with aromas of toasted nuts, vanilla, a little smoke and some vegetal/roasted corn notes.
the flavor is pretty much the same... add in some unsweetened cocoa, dark bread and a really crisp clean finish.
medium bodied with a crisp refreshing mouth feel which pairs incredibly well with almost anything you would want to eat.
i could easily drink this stuff every day. 8/4/8/4/16/4.0
