| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2007 I guess I wasn’t quite as impressed with this beer as most others. It had some additional flavors as compared to msot doppelbocks-- and I’m not sure if I liked it or not. It almost reminded me of a marzen/Octoberfest flavor profile. A good overall beer-- but I might need to try this again with fresh taste buds to give a better review.
