 Meatmallet (120), Salem, Illinois, USA
Jun 6, 2008 Pours dark brown with a reddish tinge. Smells like roasted malts and chocolate.
Begins with a heavy roasted flavor and finishes with a bitter malt ending. A little coffee in there also. By the looks of it I was not expecting the carbonation that was hiding in there.

Jun 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, maybe even black, with a ruby tinge. Aroma of dark fruits which follows in the flavor with a light roasted presence and some bitter chocolate. Very nice creamy texture is surprising and welcomed. Outstanding.

Jun 4, 2008 Dark brown color with small tan head. The flavor is sweet caramel, molasses, nuts and licorace. A slight hop presence helps to balance this sweet beer.
esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
Jun 2, 2008 Clear dark brown with a slowly dissipating tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, toffee, caramel and nuts. Taste of brown sugar, toffee, caramel, molasses, light fruit and light alcohol. Medium bodied beer is smooth and malty with a smooth finish. Solid doppelbock, lived up to the hype.

Jun 2, 2008 Wow! This one was fantastic. Deep, dark black coloured body very plentiful in the tan head. Lots of rich chocolate and oaky aroma. Taste is a creamy malted flavor with plenty of syrupy coffee flavors as well. A new favorite of mine.

Jun 2, 2008 From a bottle poured a nice dark brown color with very little head. Nice dark malty flavor with a quick finish.
Beaver (588), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
May 30, 2008 11.2 oz bottle, aged a couple of months. Pours brown with ruby highlights and has a thick pillowy light tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet caramel and chocolate malts, nuts, some roast and a little smoke.
The flavor is sweet caramel and chocolate malts, molasses, some dark fruits and nuts with enough of a hop finish to balance it well (still a little on the sweet side for me). The mouthfeel is medium to full with velvety carbonation.
Overall, this is much better than I remembered. A very solid, well-made brew. I found this to be better cold.
SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA
May 30, 2008 It poured black color with a tan head that faded rather quickly. Aromas were sweet with scents of sweet malt, brown sugar, raisin and a touch of chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied but concentrated and shows some dry bitterness to balance the sweetness from the nose.
