Oct 23, 2009 Poured dark brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma is brown sugar, fruity, roasted, chocolate, and vanilla notes coming together to make me think of a fresh baked cookie. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, with coffee and dark fruit.

Oct 20, 2009 In bottle; great dark beer. Full bodied, slight coffee notes with hints of chocolate. The 6.7% alc. is not noticeable by flavor.I really enjoyed this beer alot

Oct 20, 2009 Nice smooth malty aroma with notes of dates and fig. Pours out an almost black brown with a light toffee head. Flavor is a roasted malt with notes of coffee and a slightly hoppy long lasting finish.

Oct 17, 2009 Bouteille de 33 cl. Arômes très complexes de malt (fruits rouges, pruneaux, chocolat, caramel brûlé). Robe rousse très foncée, effervescence assez faible, peu de mousse. En bouche, la bière est moyennement ronde et soyeuse et présente un malt très complexe, avec des notes fruitées (cerises, pruneaux), de caramel foncé, de fumée et de chocolat. Devient plus chocolatée en réchauffant. Finale pas trop sucrée et légèrement amère. Un classique qui mérite bien sa réputation.

Oct 13, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours balck in colour, with persistent cappucino coloured head. Stong aroma of roasted malt. Flavour is slightly sweet, hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is a bit flat, with fine carbonation.

Oct 13, 2009 Everyone’s favorite doppelbock wasn’t a big hit for me. Very complex and dark in flavor. Roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Reminds me a little too much of a stout. Guess I prefer a simpler bock. No denying that its a supremely well made beer though.

Oct 13, 2009 Very good beer. Malts, fruits, plums and raisins but not to sweet and very well balanced. Lots of stuff going on here. Finish is very smooth and very good.

Oct 11, 2009 A dark, rich amber color with a slight reddish hue in the light, topped with a thick, creamy tan head. Uniquely well-articulated bubbles topped with a foamy crest. Ripe fruit and roasted malt in the nose. Such incredible balance - all of the great flavors are there; chocolate, caramel, coffee, with a smoky dryness at the end. The twinge of alcohol completes the experience without overpowering. Such a creamy mouthfeel - earthy, bready. Rather than beer, this is more of a deliciously burnt cinnamon roll in liquid form. Exquisite.
