Oct 13, 2009 Updated: Oct 25, 2009Caramel Toffee, Maple Syrup. Nice amount of Hops, appley - Bright, excellent level of sweetness (drink it cold, though - warm is a touch too sweet) and great balancing bitterness. Too boozy. Malt flavors are not that interesting (though they are good), hoppiness adds some interest back. Lighter in color and flavor (lighter flavors - not milder) than other dopplebocks I’ve had.

Oct 7, 2009 From the bottle, pours a clear deep red with very little head. Malty aroma. Tate is thick and malty, caramel is the other dominant flavor. A little bit of toffee and the slightest hint of alcohol in the aftertaste. Pretty drinkable, smooth, the better of their two doppelbocks.

Oct 6, 2009 Pours a clear dark ruby brown with a soft white head. The aroma is almost like a scotch ale. Earthy bread and peat, with some light spices, toffee, and gingerbread. The flavor is very sweet, toffee, caramel, and a bit of earthy hops with a bitter punch on the finish.

Oct 4, 2009 Almost looks like fire! Rich and deep red-purple color with thin layer of foam. Absolutely perfect aroma of toffee-cookie and juicy malts. Flavor is borderline cloying. Toffee malts are in full abundance, with a thick palate. A tingle of hops finishes it off within the realm of balance. Drink fairly cool to ensure that balance.

Oct 3, 2009 Draft at the OF. Deep orange-toffee brown. Thin head. Solid deep malt tones, although there is a touch of dirty graininess, as per most Capital beers. Relatively low CO2, with some crisp, mild bitterness up front. Caramel, amber, and chocolate nuances. Smooth caramel finish. OK.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours a clear reddish copper with a two finger bubbly beige head. Aroma is bigger than caramel. Some spicey notes. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is spicey caramel. Mildly fruity. Finishes with a hint of treacle. Pretty good beer.!
