Sep 20, 2009 Pours murky brown/orange. Aroma of fruit and spice. Deep roasted maltiness with hop aftertaste. Warmth that resides. Best of both worlds.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. A cloudy deep amber pour with a small but lasting light tan head ,some jagged lacing left , light to medium carbonation. Aroma of brown sugar , toffee,caramel and bread crust . Flavor is a little more complex than expected. Earthy sweet malt, rasins ,cinnamon , and lightly spicy hops , lightly bitter but more sweet than anything . Full body, creamy mouthfeel . a light peppery pine finish . Alcohol is well hidden , so you could drink a couple of these if you like sweet malty brews . A very nice beer and much better than expected .

Sep 13, 2009 Tap at the Map Room. Deep amber pour with a thick white head. The nose is lightly malty and sweet. Lots of lingering toffeei/caramel character. A light earthy hoppiness, but there is a lot more sweetness than they can handle. There is also a sort of dankness through the middle that I can’t really say I’m a fan of. Sort of unclean and mostly unappealing.

Sep 11, 2009 Has a clear ruby and dark copper pour with light copper and orange hues, made a quick head of off-white bubbles that disperse to a ring and scattered cover, some effervescence, left a little lacing on the sides of the glass, aromas of bread and caramel sweetness, some fruit fragrances, big malt flavors with bread and caramel sweetness, good mouth feel, not overly sweet as some Dopples but more sweetness than I prefer, wish this was a bit drier, I would have enjoyed this beer more.

Sep 11, 2009 This one, this year, like the oktober-fests, is too sweet. *sigh* big disappointment. Poured with a nice off- white head and lots of lace. Color is a lovely clear copper. Aroma is malty, toffee, and caramel. Flavors about the same, but less toffee and sweeter. Body’s good and carbonation too. A little boozy at the very end. Finish is ok.
