Sep 22, 2008 Golden amber with good, creamy off-white head / Sweet, syrupy, winey nose / Full-bodied, syrupy, with rich, sweet malts with no discernable hops and good, long finish / Dessert wine flavors of oranges, hazelnuts, violets, caramel, and honey / Drinking late in season - wondering if it’s aged some since bottling? Superb.

Sep 1, 2008 The appearance of dark honey with an off white head and nice visible carbonation. Aroma is not strong but is delightful offering fruit and yeast. Flavor does as well with candy sugar, alcohol, and caramel. The yeast gives it a "Belgium" attitude. Feel is smooth with a nice zest. The 8% is questioned, but still, this is a GOOD beer. This is one I could spend a lot of time with. Well done!

Aug 20, 2008 Definitely didn’t think this brew was 8% ABV. Strong notes of malt with some toffee characters. Not a lot of hops but everything was pretty well blended. Decent brew.

Jul 13, 2008 Very good doppelbock. Nice aroma and amber color. Good flavor from start to finish with a slight hoppy taste. LIght palate finish that refreshes. Not one to take lightly, however. Best to have and enjoy at the end of a busy day.
