Rating #2600.
Dark amber color, creamy tan head. Toasted sugar, malt aroma. Medium-bodied. Toasted malts and sugar also in the flavor. Hides ABV quite well. I am not very excited about this (doppel)bock. macguy (145), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2006 I think that this is more of a dopplebock. For a industrial beer, it’s not bad. It has a pretty color but seems a bit thin. The nose is as sweet as the taste. bitbucket (2035), Kirkland, Washington, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 4, 2006 Definitely the best Italian beer I have had which is completely meaningless. Very malty and nutty like you would expect from a bock, somewhat one-dimensional and flat though in its finish. Something was missing. I was kind of left hanging on this one.....did get better as it warmed, I am shocked at the ABV. kimcgolf (835), Dacula, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Poured from a bottle to an amber-brown, with thin tan head and okay lacing,. Aroma was sweet malty chocolate with some caramel. As glass warmed, hints of alcohol entered the smell. Flavor was more of the malty wweetness, and finish was smooth, although not all that long, and again, alcohol was more pronounced at beer’s end.
