mikalooch (158), , New Jersey, USA Dec 1, 2008 Pours deep dark red with a tan head, medium sized. Aroma of wheat, malt, and cherry and other red fruits. Lots going on in this one, malt, raisin, plum, clove. Starts off sweet and ends up slightly sour. Just the right amount of carbonation. Absolutely amazing beer. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Nov 30, 2008 Pours a very dark red with a mocha coloured head that has a mix of smaller and bigger bubbles.

The aroma is of sweet malt, grains, and warm alcohol. Nicely Carbonated.
Very good beer, interesting taste, almost a mixture between a Guiness and a Cider to me. Has a warm alcohol with an almost fruit like aftertest. kpresley77 (133), Jackson, Georgia, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle pours deep black, almost opaque with thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and dark fruit. First taste is sweet roasted malt and some spice. The dark fruits are present in the middle, as well as the finish. There is something else in the finish I cant put my finger on. Very good doppelbock. heynik1885 (53), tonawanda, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Updated: Apr 26, 2009Poured into stem glass, Dark brown color with a frothy off white head. Not much lacing on glass. Smells of chocolate, flowers,burnt fruit,malt and caramel. Taste is complex but appearent is malts,hops,chocolate,fruits,licorice and a overall roasted flavor that adds a great balance to this beer. Alcohol and bitterness is in proportion and work well with the flavors. Palate is smooth, sturdy and leaves a great aftertaste on the back of the tongue. A great doppelbock. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Nov 19, 2008 Pours amber dark brown with white frothy head. Smells fruity and sweet with hints of chocolate and toffee. Tastes tart, sweet, and malty, with some roasty, chocolate, fermented fruit, and a little bitterness. Pretty good.
