| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Good, but way too sweet. Needed some balance. Caramel and raisin malts dominate the taste. Sweet aroma and finish. Unpleasant finish with sweet alcohol taste. A little thin bodied for the style. Bigmmartin (370), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2009 Bottle. Total sweet malt bomb. Sweet aroma backed by a sweet flavor of caramel and malts. Sweeter than other doppelbocks I’ve tried, but not bad. Definitely very flavorful. Pipper (245), Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Had this at a Bell’s Fest in Worthington, OH. Poured a dark ruby brown with big tan head. The aroma and flavor was a strange cross between banana and rose, more like drink a potpurri than I would have expected. Still a good beer from Bell’s but not one I would necessarily come back to when faced with other doppelbocks or other Bell’s offerings. OldMrCrow (1191), Seattle, Washington, USA

Mild aroma, surprisingly little going on ohter than some sweetness and lots of alcohol. Pours a caramel brown with a nice big head. Quite hot, lots of alcohol, very sweet, and a vegemite aftertaste that absolutely kills it for me. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 8, 2009 12oz bottle. Thanks to Kevin for the bottle. Pours a clear mahogany. Long lasting off white head. Nose is sour fruit, caramel and some light banana. A little thin. Flavor is great. Big bready sourdough up front with some spicy dark fruit esters. Big caramel notes. Very rich with a big full palate. Another great beer from Bell’s. mephisto (1144), Taiwan

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 18, 2009 Slightly hazed, reddish brown appearance with a small, khaki colored head and little lacing. A plethora of malty delights greet the nose, including molassas, toffee, tobacco and ripe fruit. Rich, sweet, malty taste, full of ripe, dark fruit, and balanced by a subtle hop presence. Smooth, full bodied mouthfeel with a long lasting finish. Hophead22 (1090), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA
