Apr 6, 2009 Dark brown colour with beige head. Aroma is roasted malt. Taste and palate are fantastic malt and spice with a nice finish. Would do it again.

Apr 6, 2009 Updated: Jun 1, 2009On tap at Winking Lizard. It starts with the amazing aroma that smells of chocolate with slight floral hints. The head is fantastic as it pours a nice dark brown. Tastes incredibly balanced with a bit of sweetness, but the highlight is how smooth it goes down and the incredible finish. May be the best beer I’ve ever had.
Re-rated on 6/1/09: from Taphouse Grille in Bellevue.

Apr 4, 2009 I had high expectations for this beer, but I found myself somewhat dissappointed. It’s a muddy-brown color with a lot of bread on the nose. Malty. Texture is very light with a burnt coffee component and a dark chocolate finish. The flavors seem balanced, but they aren’t my favorite. There is also a stale feel to it that bugs me. This is my first Dopplebock - maybe I should avoid the style.

Apr 4, 2009 Poured from a 33cl bottle from Redmonds in Dublin.
Very dark brown appearance with some ruby hints here and there-very little lacing and head.
Smell is mixture of brown sugar, malts, chocolate and spicey bread. It’s a nice mix.
Tastes like it smells-a nice mix of flavors that is complex and changes throughout each sip. Overall it is well balanced in its mix of tastes I think and not too overwhelming.
Very smooth for the amount of taste that is going on.
I only bought one so that is where I stopped, but I’d consider having more than one of these in a session even with the 6.7% ABV. I’ll definitely try to get my hands on one of these again and recommend it to others.

Mar 30, 2009 nose is dark chocolate notes, along with fig and raisen and slightly sweet hops. dark brown with creamy tan head. taste is sweet and roasted malts, a bit of carmel. being not a fan of bochs, this one was pretty tasty.

Mar 28, 2009 Tap at Wollf’s Biergarten. Pours a deep brown with thick brown head. Aroma is malty sweet and a slight caramel note with a hop balance. Full bodied and oily. Doesn’t overwhelm the palate, but flavors are strong with dark fruit, chocolate and caramel. Finishes dry and leaves you craving more. A beautifully balanced bock, far beyond any other I’ve tried.

Mar 27, 2009 Pure and simply described as... Delicious. Aroma of raisins, dark fruits and malty goodness. Nice medium mouthfeel, lightly hopped, very complex flavor of a variety of malts. Raisins and fruits come through pretty heavily, this gets better as it warms. This is a must try.
