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!

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. The aroma is strong, sweet with notes of prunes, brown sugar, citrus, coffee, malt, and bitter chocolate. The color is deep red-brown and it has a beutiful lasting light brown head. The flavor is sweet malty with very strong roasted notes; coffee, roasted bread, combined with caramel, alcohol, citrus, and more - great complexity. The alcohol runs prickling over the tongue and gives it a good palate.

Apr 18, 2008 11.2 oz bottle, poured very dark with small off-white head. Aroma very smokey and malty. Flavor malty, but not as sweet or rich as I had expected. A bit subdued, and the body was more watery and not as thick as I expected. Good, but not great. I’ve had better doppelbocks (Paulaner). Based on the scores, I guess I was expecting more...

Low on hops but with a sweet complex malty flavor. Alcohol is not dominating

Apr 16, 2008 Very malty,rather dry with a touch of smoke in the aftertaste.
Nice and complex. Bought 54 of them really cheap in Aying. I’m used to liking hoppy beers, so the first botlle was so-so. But this one really grows on you, so I’m glad i have a stash..
But I will probably have to rerate after 20 or 30 of them. ;-)

Wow, does this pour dark, easily the darkest doppelbock i have ever seen, its looks like a porter or stout. Aroma is moderatly malty, with a sweet cherry to it. Flavour is ALL MALT. like a fresh baked loaf of bread, its so malty, i can almost chew that loaf of bread. I love this! the finish is so caramely, and sweet with a great bready aftertaste. LOVE IT!
