Dark amber color, small beige/tan head. Burnt rye bread aroma. Sweetish ryeish and caramelly flavor. A bit alcoholic with burned notes. Nicely balanced. thewolf (5838), Kolding, Denmark

Pours deep brown amber with a small, frothy white head. Aroma is roasted and lots of rye bread. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, lots and lots of ryebread sweetness. Too unbalanced and sweet for me - why I don’t like most doppelbocks. rickgordon (3341), Göteborg, Sweden

Hazy red-brown colour with off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with bit of toast and the slightest of chocolate. Good balance in flavour from dark malts and malt sweetness. Pretty much a solid doppelbock. oh6gdx (9115), Vasa, Finland

Aroma is sweet malts, some grass and mild notes of roast. Flavour is very much the same in a nice balance.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 7, 2008 RBESG08 grand tasting. Poured a hazy dark amber-red body with a medium sized off white head that went away fast. Malty nose. Malty, somewhat dull grainy, understated taste. Not much alcohol (which is a good thing I guess). Ok but boring. ekstedt (2456), Göteborg, Sweden
