A tart malty flavor with little carbonation. Hint of caramel a hint of nuts. This is my favorite Bell’s I have tasted. drpimento (876), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 26, 2007 Had this on draft at Bodega brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin USA. Served with minimal head and less lace. NIce dark cherry color. Aroma is malty, caramel, toffee, and treacle. Flavor’s about the same but with a boozy flavor. Great body. Balanced finish. luiss (89), Elmsford, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 23, 2007 I poured it into my Ayinger glass, straight to the top. I shook the remains to see if i would get a bit more head which resulted in nothing happening. The beer itself was highly carbonated with a taste of raisons, dry cranberries, and brown sugar. Smell is very sweet, caramel and wheat bread mix. The body was medium with a taste that fades away quick leaving you with a tingly feel. Alcohol is slightly present which is a good feel for a brew of 8%. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 9, 2007 Batch 7209 from Shigadeyo. Served in a heavy ass dimpled goblet. Pours a dark hazy brown with a small head. Aroma is big fermented sugary malts, grains and even more malt. Flavor is super rich and sweet. The malts are candied. The yeasts are sweet. This is a wonderful Doppelbock. Thanks to Bells for being a great brewery and thanks to Craig for sharing this gem. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
