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.

Mar 26, 2009 330 ml bottle. From Germany.
Dark brown colour with quite thin head.
Roasted malts, liquorice and some sweetness. Roasted malts, caramel sweetness, liquorice, but also some nice bitterness. Great Bock.

Mar 25, 2009 On tap. Sweet aroma of caramel and roasted malt. Dark brown with a thick tan head. The flavor is mostly sweet with a very slight sourness. Goes down smooth with a sweet dry finish. One of the best Doppelbocks out there, I have a hard time deciding if I like this or the Optimator more.

Mar 25, 2009 Dark, rich, and malty without being overpowering. Roasted malt finish. One of my all time favorite beers.

Mar 23, 2009 Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Taste is wood, smoke, caramel, and a mild hoppy bitterness in the finish. Also has notes of dark fruits - plums, raisins. Mouthfeel is very good - full-bodied and smooth with low to moderate carbonation. This is a well-made beer, but there is something about the smokiness that turns me off. This is in the ballpark of greatness, but it just doesn’t deliver for me.

Mar 21, 2009 Pours a dark mahogany with a nice creamy off white head that has good retention. The aroma is big licorice and smokey notes. The flavour is good, big salty original licorice notes, touches of malty caramel in the middle, chocolate, some sour apple notes and a light underlying metallic flavour that is kind of throwing me off. A pretty good beer but I was expecting something special from the 4.11 rating.

Mar 21, 2009 Molasses and a hint of aniseed on the nose. Deep muddy brown with a beige head. The descrpition is bang on about the malt - some great blended malt presence with caramels, chocolates, figs and other fruits. Gentle bitterness on the finish leaves you wanting more. Very nice indeed.
Ryan82SM (231), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
Mar 20, 2009 Nice sour apple aroma with some other slight fruitness. Appearance is mostly black, but with a red tint; head quickly went away. Flavor is full of toffee and some caramel flavors. Some small chocolate presence in the finish. Good, but 4.1 might be a bit too high for this brew.
