Thick toffee aroma with a good deal of plum and some woody vanilla. Similar flavor profile, with a dry alcohol finish. Could stand to be thicker, have more substance, but it’s definitely a solid Doppel. carl4beer (401), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear light brown/copper color. Head was off white and reduced over a few minutes to a thin ring. The aroma was predominantly fruity, reminiscent of grape candy and cherry. Sweet on the tongue. The flavors mimicked the aroma. Lots of fruit with a touch of toffee. Grape candy came to mind again. Overrated in my opinion (87th percentile) on the day I rated it. It was on par with the Capital Brewery Blonde Doppelbock when tasted side-by-side. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA

Pours a nice muddy brown red color with a thin head. Some tobacco notes, and slight leather with a decent palate. Its not a celebrator but its good, fairly easy drinker for a 8% brew.

Not as dark as the German Doppelbocks. Big malty aroma with some soy sauce and caramel. Big sweet malt taste with lots of caramel and a bit of chocolate. Mild meatiness and very slight roastiness. Nice full body. Pretty good doppelbock.
