Jun 8, 2005 Pours blazing amber color with no head. Huge caramel aroma with some roasted grains in there. Flavor very much the same, with a long lingering grainy aftertaste. Nice syruppy body and mouthfeel. Only grabbed a single, (couldn’t find any six’ers) but plan on getting some more for the fall. Great for the first brisk days in late Oct/Nov.

Jun 6, 2005 Doughy German aroma, amber body, with a short head and good lacing. Moderate bitter flavor with a syrupy texture. Probably best in the Fall when the cold winds are blowing over Lake Mendota. I had no idea what style Capital was going for (not listed on bottle label) until I checked it out on RB.com.

Apr 26, 2005 Brilliant orange-amber color and bright peach head that fades rather quickly. The bottom line is that this beer is unique -- try as I might I simply cannot discern aroma/flavor elements other than caramel malt and a touch of alcohol. A bit of hops in the finish. Very full mouthfeel. Not the best doppelbock but at 8.5% certainly not a drainpour.

Apr 17, 2005 Nice malt/toasty aroma. Light sweetness which I prefer. MAlts are very smooth and has some caramel hints. Medium body with slight hops and a bit of an alcohol finish. Just gets better as it warms.

Apr 8, 2005 Little or no head,the cap seemed to come off the bottle a littl to easy with no pop at all,sweet malty fruit aroma,pretty much a straight malt honey taste, with just a touch of hop aftertaste. Nice enough, but I can’t figure out how it does so well in the Realbeer contest

Mar 2, 2005 Thanks to CaptainCougar for this bonus bottle! Deep amber orange red color, truly a bit fiery in appearance. Nose of deep caramel, mixed with the light floral notes you would expect in this style. Pleasant, and I’m not even a bit fan of bock beers in general. Floral hop palate fades into a sweet caramel and molasses tinged finish, with a touch of honey. Not totally my thing, but enjoyable. I would think most fans of bock beers would be drooling over this one.

Feb 19, 2005 Bottle. Thanks to joeybgood for another one! Pours a gorgeous copper with a small off white head. Light permeates this and it looks like an autumn sunset. Nose is very malty with light alcohol, ripe fruits, honey, and toffee. Smells very rich and very sweet. WOW! Taste is very fruity and sweet with toffee, brown sugar, light alcohol, honey, light spiciness, and syrup. Body is sticky and thick. Leaning towards being too syrupy but is still creamy and slick. Mild carbonation feel. Finish is more toffee, alcohol, honey and malts with light fruit. Indeed a snifter beer!
