Wolfbass (22), Firenze, Italy
Nov 6, 2009 Color red-brown fire, with good abundant head. The aroma is of toasted malt, the body is full, and the good dry end, long and slightly spice.

Oct 30, 2009 Fairly typical Euro doppelbock. Impressive head, nice medium amber body. Carmel/coffee aroma with a malty, nutty taste that finishes clean. Full bodied, but not overly heavy, recommended.
 ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA
Oct 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brownish amber with a very thick, long lasting light tan head. The aroma is caramel, malts, and som light alcohol. Taste is sweet caramel malts, with some spicy hops. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and spicy. Thin body with soft carbonation.

Oct 26, 2009 Not a bad effort here. Very much in softly carbonated and cola flavoured vein but it works well. Flavours are a bit simple and sweet but reasonably faithful to the genre. Some stinky vegemite on the nose adds some character and there’s a minerally tang on the back palate that stops the flavours getting fat from the sweet malts.

Oct 24, 2009 Had this during my trip to Italy. Didn’t know that they came in three packs. Darker color than the regular beer. Much more maltier and darker. Not really bitter--maybe a bit, but pretty mellow. For the supermarket in Rome, not too bad. Went back for more.
Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA
Oct 19, 2009 Had this at Ippolito’s in Sandy Springs. Aroma is strong and malty, not complex but still promising. It pours a nice dark brownish amber with a very thick, fine-bubbled, long-lasting light tan head. Flavor is typically malty, but mouth-filling with hints of hops and caramel. Texture is quite tingly and lively.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with a disappearing off-white head. Aroma is mainly of malt with a little bit of caramel and dark fruit plus there is a faint metallic odour in there as well. Flavour is quite sweet with malt, toffee, hazelnuts and a hint of milk chocolate coming through. Light body, fairly thin with a short, bitter/sweet finish, this isn’t my favourite doppelbock but it’s not terrible either.

Oct 6, 2009 Lots better than the original I can tell you that!! I get caramel and some very light chocolate. Maybe a hint of nuts. Flavor is malty with a hint of bitterness. Ok.
