| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 8, 2009 12oz bottle. The bottle absolutely exploded when I opened it. Total mess, and it wasn’t even infected. Pours dark red with a foamy tan head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, slight vanilla, and alcohol. taste is of grass, malt, caramel, and nuts. Lingering taste of vanilla of each sip. Big alcohol burn lingers long after each sip. Mouthfeel is very carbonated and watery. This beer is a mess. VAYankee (248), Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2009 This one poured a murky brown color with an off white head. Aroma was mainly malty, a bit of dark fruit and some alcohol. Flavor was much the same as aroma very sweet, slightly roasted and a hint of alcohol but still hidden pretty well. I think this one is a bit underated just because its atwater dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 25, 2009 Pours a dark almost clear brown with thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweetness, chocolate, and caramel. Flavor matches well, but just doesn’t have the balance of a great doppelbock. Drinkable, but forgettable...if it wasn’t for the label, which is really cool. surffisher (196), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
