Oct 16, 2009 Bomber from City Beverage. First of all, the rating is horsecrap. I do not usually like doppelbocks, but this one stands above most of its bretheren. It pours ruby red, kind of see-through, with a good white head. The aroma is very toasty with hints of banana and berries. I cannot emphasize the toast enough. The palate is slick and quaffable. the flavor does not live up to the supremely toasty aroma, but is still good. Notes of banana, vanilla, berries, and bread are present. This is a slight departure from the usual formula, but is welcome. It is not vegetal, it is very well balanced, smooth, and masks the alcohol deftly. I don’t see the problem here.

Apr 20, 2009 10 oz pour from Raleigh Times. Gee, I hope this sample is big enough to get a legitimate rating off of... Anywho, pours a translucent copper with a thin light tan head. The nose is sweet, malty, caramel, mild grainy aspect, some leafy hop aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty, bready/caramel flavors, mild phenol, spicy alcohol, very nice malt feel to this one. Palate is chewy with a mildly sweet malty feel. Tasty.

Apr 15, 2009 Draught at Horniblows Tavern. Pours amber, brown, with a medium off-white head, some lacing. Aroma is caramel, some toasty malts, very sweet. Flavor similar, lots of caramel, sticky, delicious beer. Pretty much a traditional offering.

Apr 26, 2009 On tap at Tyler’s. I liked this beer. Amber pour without a big head, so it doesn’t look like much. Nice caramel and bread aromas, and some vague fruit presence. Not just caramel/molasses/grain/etc. Lighter, too, and lighter on the palate. Solid.

Jun 14, 2009 (22oz bottle, thanks wilkie) Small tan head with hazy copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, chocolate, caramel, light earthy/floral. Taste is sweet, chococaramel, some earthy, light alcohol, faint cherry. Medium body, some stickiness, fairly smooth.

Apr 5, 2009 On tap at Watts Grocery, Durham. Nice amber pour with not much carbonation. Pleasingly sweet malt aroma, but not overpowering. The body is somewhat too thin, but that’s perhaps not a bad thing considering that the taste is much sweeter than the nose. Faint smoke and nuttiness in the finish. Decent doppel.

Apr 19, 2009 Amber brown color with a thin white head. Sweet caramel dominates the aroma. The flavor has caramel, toffee, a hint of raisin, and a bit of alcohol. Maybe not as thick as I would like it to be but a decent draft offering.

Apr 22, 2009 Dark amber pour with a thick off white head and drippy lace. Grain and malts on the nose with caramel dominating. Thin bodied. Bread, caramel, and slight spice.. I was expecting a little bit more fruitiness on this, but was still decent nonetheless
