Mar 5, 2009 A good head on a golden pillow. Sweet aromas abound. This brew is mildly sweet with hints of roast. Semi creamy effers are appealing. The finish is long and sweet with a touch of tobacco skank.

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.

Jun 13, 2008 My bottle says "platinum blonde doppelbock," but I assume it’s the same beer - clear, fizzy, honey-colored beer - fairly sweet aroma, with some light herbal character and a european hop bite underneath - honey flavor up front - a little too sweet - medium herbal and hop bitterness in the middle - the sweetness becomes prominent again in the finish, and a grainy flavor comes in - the alcohol is apparent at the end, but just enough to be warming - decent.
