Jan 2, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma of light and dark malts, with some dark fruit as well. Taste includes a lot of rich malts, with some biscuit and caramel. Creamy, almost oily mouthfeel. A solid beer that is very drinkable at the same time.

Apr 23, 2006 (Bottle, gift from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=2 target=blank>OhioDad, thanks Scott!) This was a clear light, very slightly reddish-tinted orange, with a thin off-white head that disappears to a film. Aroma of bread, honey and malt. Scant lacing. Mouthfeel smooth, light, a little syrupy as well as prickly. Taste is moderately sweet, honeyish, lightly malty, touch of bitter in finish. No alcohol apparency. On the light side for a doppel. Has an easy and pleasant feel.

Aug 25, 2005 Thanks to my Secret Santa for this beer.
Poured an effervescent golden with a semi-creamy off-white head that stayed on the beer. Light aroma of grapes, syrup, and a touch of grassy hops, not unlike other paler lagers. Taste is rather sweet and rich. Grapes and honey dominate. Very little hop presence and a semi-sweet finish, less dry than the dark it seems, and perhaps a tad more drinkable. Alcohol well hidden. Rich yet refreshing.

Sep 2, 2003 A wooden orange color with amedium white head. Aroma of oak, sweet caramel, alcohol. A sweet light toffee taste. A light body with a heavy feel. This taste better and smoother as you get to the end of the glass. I had this a number of years ago and am glad my memory did not disappoint. An excellent example of an unusual style. Can not tell it is 9%.

Feb 5, 2008 Had this one on draught at the brewery in Middleton, Wisconsin. Cloudy, dark golden pour with a light nose of spice and nutmeg, bitter but malty, complex finish.

Jul 20, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Amber pour with a medium yellowish white head that recedes quickly. Lots of malt aromas with caramel first and foremost. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel complements the medium/full body and light carbonation. Flavor mirrors the aroma with a large dose of sweet malty goodness, even some roasted flavors, and finally a hit of spicy hops right at the finish. Alcohol is understated. A pretty good doppelbock.

Aug 13, 2007 Light amber color with off-white head. Caramel and malt on the nose. Flavor is sweet, yet well balanced with a burn of alcohol and hint of hops. Full flavored and well rounded ale. Thanks to Skyview for this pour.

Mar 29, 2008 Very malty and smooth. Kind of like a really big Dortmunder. Very nice biscuity malt flavor, though very subtle hopping. Pretty tasty.
