Oct 1, 2004 Red fruit and peaches frolicking over a light grassy bitterness...Malt roastiness is almost smoky and conveys sensual chocolate and cigar tobacco perfumes...A smidge of alcohol peers through with some rusty edges (hard water?) in this ample-bodied and somewhat immature doppelbock...

Oct 1, 2004 Nice doppelbock. Dark reddish-brown, half-opaque. Soft but pleasing aroma, caramel I think. Sweet flavor, nicely complemented by crisp palate. Don’t expect a blow-away beer, just a solid example of the style. Much comparable to Weihenstephaner Korbinian.

Sep 27, 2004 Big-bodied, chocolatey, sweet, fruity (plum) aroma with some notes of alcohol. Clear, dark amber, brown with thin white head that diminishes to cover with some minor lacing. Rich, malty flavour with light fruitiness and some notes of toasted malts. Smooth in the mouth with medium-full body and mild carbonation. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT and Rastacouere.

Sep 26, 2004 This is far and away the best Italian beer I ever had. It has a nice rich body and a complex slightly sweet flavor. A hearty brew without the atendent bitterness. Italy’s Guiness

Sep 26, 2004 Nice off-white foamy head, sticky. Medium brown body. Aroma of candy is very earthy as well. All about the malt in here, no compromise. A bit one-dimensional on the tongue, chocolatey, very earthy. Dry all the way through. Finish is roasty, bitter yet malty. It remains fairly well made, but is not quite classy. Medium body, soft carbonation.

Sep 23, 2004 Nice burnt amber with a large head. caramel, berry, must, and straw in the nose. Quite nice malty flavors with caramel and berry coming through the most, with a decent background yeast profile, hidden alcohol, and a nice full body.

Sep 5, 2004 The best Moretti’s beer. Dark-brow, caramel malty, sweet but not too much. Quite common, in all supermarkets in Italy.

Aug 29, 2004 9 May 2004 - Sulphur malt aroma that is not interesting. Clear brown colour, hardly any lacing or head. Simple sweet malt, slightly spicy and a bit simple. Fizzy light mouthfeel.
I’d like to rerate this beer, I may have been a bit harsh.
