Apr 28, 2008 Pours a nice deep brown with a quickly diminishing head leaving a hint of lacing. Malty, dark fruit aroma with a hint of alcohol burn. Big dark roasted malt kick up front on the tongue with a nice underlying sugary fruit lingering on the back. This thing just coats your mouth in a thick, syrupy, sweet, malty goodness. Flavor just keeps hanging on the tongue. Mouthfeel doesn’t get much better IMO. This is certainly the best dobblebock I’ve gotten my hands on. Despite the thickness, I could sip on these all night.

Apr 27, 2008 Pours a beautiful deep brown, almost black, with a robust tan head that fades to some lacing. The smell was sweet, almost fig with coffee hints. The taste was very good, cream, coffee, grain. The mouthfeel was creamy smooth, slightly thick with a bit of carbonation. The drinkability was very good, this is a beer i like to savor for a while but its highly drinkable. Just because of the richness its not a brew I could have too many of in a sitting.

Apr 25, 2008 What a great beer!
Truly the class of the doppelbocks. Poured a dark, garnet color into a pint glass with a half inch, white head that dissipated quickly.
Aromas of molasses and caramel. Smelled really good!
The taste was exceptional. Sweet, malty, very molassasy with hints of caramel.
Nice, clean finish.
Very drinkable. Highly recommended!
(And I liked the little goats that came with the bottles!)

Apr 23, 2008 One of my favorite doppelbocks but still not quite as good as Aventinus. The maltiness and fruitiness of the brew are excellent but the strength of the hops seem to be somewhat more than what I’d prefer for a doppelbock. Nevertheless, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Apr 22, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Some lacings. Aroma of molasses, prunes or figs. Very sweet with hops in balance. One of my first doppelbocks. Can’t say it’s my favorite style, but a good learning experience. Will re-rate after more experience with this remarkable brew. Bitter-sweet finish.

Apr 20, 2008 Black color with tan two finger head. Aroma is very strong. Bready with some molasses and brown sugar notes. Roasted malts have a unique aroma. Flavor is of molasses and roasted malts with some light hops. No real alcohol presence. Very nice doppebock.

Apr 19, 2008 This is definitely one of my favorite doppelbocks. Possibly a little overhyped, it is not the best in my opinion, but in the top 10. Rum raisin flavors are dominant, with some toasted maltiness and some nuttiness as well. Really bready malt background, with some slightly hot alcohol notes in the finish. Extremely well balanced with the slightest amount of smokiness to add that little bit of depth and character. Tasty!
