Jul 13, 2008 Sweet aroma, malty, with alcohol noted. Slight chocolate aroma as well. Dark brown appearance, with ruby red tinge. Flavor is sweet, chocolatey, malty. Sufficiently thick mouthfeel. The finish is sweet, no hop bite, slight alcohol. Enjoyable. I got this is a growler, which I’ve come to realize is not the best way to enjoy beer.

Dec 15, 2007 Pours dark black. Aroma and flavor of mocha chocolate with some bitterness to finish. Strong bock character that one would expect from something labeled ’doppelbock’ with the alcohol warming to match. Like most things at Black Forest, it was served much too cold.

Feb 8, 2007 Draft @ HDG. Color is brown with some red around the edges. Aroma is chocolate malts without much smokiness at all. Flavor takes on caramel notes before the roastiness. Happy to say this beer evolved beautifully in the barrel from start to finish. A really nice treat from Big Joe Hayes!

Feb 7, 2007 Tap @ Hop Devil Grill: Poured a mostly clear very dark mahogony with a beige head. Some dark fruits in the aroma with a hint of figs. Fruity flavor with just a hint of chocolate. Semi-dry finish.
