May 5, 2002 a very hearty doppelbock style lager. A big malty body with the sweet malty flavors one expects from an imported Bavarian bock beer. This beer definitely packs a punch from the higher than average alcohol. A nice reddish color with a tan frothy head. This is a treat from the mid-Atlantic region that should be enjoyed by anyone who loves bock.

Jun 12, 2005 12 oz bottle pours a bright hazy amber with a decent light brown head that leaves some lacing in my glass, Malty roasted nutty aroma, malty sweet caramel-toffee, nutty and bready flavors. Medium to full bodied with a thick yet carbonated mouthfeel, finishes sweet. A very tasty and drinkable dopple.

Apr 15, 2005 Wow, definately a very interesting beer. Draft, poured a nice soft copper color, with nondesript head. Huge flavor, lot’s off stuff in this one. Nice full dopplebock flavor but with a unique fruity characfter that really surpassed all of my expectations. I had to get more of this one. Very good!

Aug 23, 2005 Caramel malt and bread aroma. Dark amber color with a thin, but firm head and a steady release of gas. Strong dark fruit sweetness in the initial taste then wood tones (oak?) come through followed by an assertive alcohol bite. A very authentic feel palate wise, but it brings something new to the style in terms of flavor with the wood flavors. Very interesting brew. Thanks Slob for this one.

Jul 25, 2009 2004 bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of fruit (cherries, some strawberries, sweet oranges), spicy, some dry woody hints. Tastes of roasted malt, some tartness, earthy, spicy. This has aged well.

Jan 1, 2008 Feb. 2006 - Wow...what a pleasant surprise! Most of these American attempts at dopplebocks are just too darned sweet...this one could’ve passed for the real deal. Beautiful pour with nice one finger foamy head and lacing. The smell and taste was of rich malts and dark fruits. The flavor was just sweet enough, but NOT OVERPOWERING. Very nicely done. They have to get the word out. My second Blue Ridge beer and they were both very good!

Jul 27, 2006 Bottle, aged 6 months to a year: Pours a clear dark copper mahogany with a nicely-lacing, thin tan head. Nice and authentic, rich dark caramelly sweet German malty aroma has good raisin and plum complexity with a good lager yeast strain. Body starts with a nice viscous maltiness and plenty of carbonation with pleasant toasty bready sweetness and a touch of brown sugar. Sticky finish hides the alcohol very well. Not sure what some of the low ratings are about, but I thought this was a tasty brew and a good example of the style. Maybe my aging it helped some. This makes a very nice dessert beer.
