Poured a gold/amber hue with an off white, diminishing head and fair lacing. The aroma was a little yeast with malt and caramel. Same notes in the flavor plus a little toastiness and a touch of sweetness. Very little hop dryness,and the mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. Metalhead (571), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2004 Light amber color,medium short lived head.Aroma was of mild malt with hints of candied fruit. Flavor was basically the same. Nice warming effect.Nice mouthfeel,slightly sticky.Good but nothing complex.
Perhaps the fact I drank this at cellar temp instead of cold had something to do with it. I’ll do an add on if need be after a cold one. darn1207 (566), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2003 Golden-amber color with rich rocky head. Heavy malty aromas with spicy hop undertones. Fruity aromas are a surprise, almost belgian-like. Sweet caramel maltiness, nicely bittered. Peppery alcohol and fresh hop bitterness lead you to believe that this will finish dry, but it leaves a residual sweetness that's a little sticky. Illini08 (528), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2005 Pours a hazy rust color with just a little head that leaves some lacing. Smell is sweet and malty with some spiciness as well. Taste is sweet with a nice touch of bitterness in the finish. This is my first doppelbock and I think I got a good one to start out on. I will drink this again.
