| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Pours a hazy reddish brown. Thin white head with average retention. Aroma is roasted malt and a hint of banana. Flavor is earthy, with caramel malt, peppery spice and a hint of cedar. Lots of alcohol burn. Mouthfull is full and slightly sticky. Gets points for trying something new, but doesn’t really work for me as a doppelbock.

Had at PP Strong Ale Fest 2009. Nice malty sweet. A little buttery barrel aged aroma. Maybe some belgian yeast aroma. Very nice Swalden28 (1509), McKinney, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Bottled. Smells of alcohol and grain. Pours light brown with medium off white head. Has fllavors of burnt caramel, alcohol and grape. It is mildly sour with medium sweetness. Overall decent beer with good overal palate, but could have a better finish and more flavor profile.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper/brown/orange with a pretty substantial head. I fit about an inch of liquid and the rest of the glass is full of foam on first pour. Aromas are nice and heavily fruity... loads of pears, apples and peaches with a little caramel... Didn’t see that coming and I don’t know if I want it in my doppelbock, but it smells really nice. Unfortunately, flavor isn’t quite as oddly pleasant in my opinion. It has a pretty decent amount of that fruit presence shining through, but an astringent alcohol and a little bit of yeasty spiciness don’t work well together with it. It seems to me like the three are pulling in different directions and I would guess that if they mellow a bit with age this could be outstanding. As is, it’s not bad, but not a very polished final product. travita (1920), Frisco, Texas, USA

The look is clear, amber in color, and has an off white head. The taste is sweet, malts, yeast, and caramel. kidmartinek (981), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Deep caramel, cloudy with an off-white... have you ever heard of a lasting head? Well hear this. It stays around until you’re done enjoying it. Simple Crystal and lighter caramel malt nose. Roasted, molasses, oat malt flavor. Syrupy mouthfeel with a fizzy backend. mar (1846), Dallas, Texas, USA
