Oct 14, 2008 massive brown head... malty bitterness with some spices... wow, this taste is maltiness at its best, with complex after tastes of hops... some roasted stuff and a lingering aftertaste, great beer

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small cream colored head. Super malty aroma, reminiscent of wort on brewday, hints of dry dogfood. Flavor is extremely malty with an almost salty taste, a touch sweet. Medium mouthfeel, quite smooth.

Oct 12, 2008 As for a doppelbock... this one is the cream of the crop. First of all it is sooo smooth. Rare in a db. The aging has to be the trick. Very balanced in character. The commercial description says it all realy.

Oct 12, 2008 Dark, Dark carmel with a creamy light tan head. Very malty and molasses nose. Flavor is a burst of aching nostalgia for me, remembering the dark, sweat, home made bread my grandma made on our North Dakota farm. Great lingering finish.

Rich malty aromas - melanoidins, toasty, bready, slight hints of molasses
Dark brown, clear, ruby highlights. Tan head with light retention
Rich malty sweetness with bready, toasty notes. A bit of bitterness to support the long malty finish
Medium body, medium-high carbonation, prickly
Nice doppelbock, the molasses seems out of place as does the prickly carbonation
