Thick dense caramel mud in color with little head. Smell is mild and sweet and a hint of smoky malt. Taste is very sweet and bock-like but mostly watery overall. Smoky flavor and finish. Pretty decent but not great.

Apr 7, 2008 12 oz bottle, via lb4lb. Pours a slightly cloudy amber body under a one finger fizzy off-white head that faded to a partial covering. A good bit of carbonation. Nice light-roast coffee with nutty toasted husky malt. Some light hops. Not as intense with the coffee as I was hoping, but it’s still nice. The flavor is quite unique, the coffee really balances the Doppelbock sweetness to make it extremely drinkable. Burnt caramel, chalky yeast, a touch of alcohol and cereal grains. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a very slight clinginess on the finish and lots of fizzy carbonation. I liked this, a little unusual, but it works for me.

Apr 7, 2008 Tap at Sugar Maple. The beer pours to a dark ruby red body with a thin white head. The aroma is strongly coffee laden dark malts. The flavor is a sweet brown sugar malt with a strong black coffee back. The beer definitely has a long lasting lingering sweetness on the palate. The coffee isn’t too bitter or acetic. A nicely balanced beer but it was definitely a sipper.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottle: Very interesting beer. Aroma and flavor of malt and coffee. Some nut aroma and flavor mixed in. Pretty good, but not something that I would drink a lot.

Mar 28, 2008 Bottle from Pepsican. Strong fresh coffee aroma with light smoke is the aroma. This beer had good maliness to it. Light dark fruit and grape juice notes followed by a nice fresh coffee finish.

Pours dark maroon with a large medium sized beige head. Smell is of sweet maltiness and nice strong coffee. Taste is about what I’d expect from the name. Rich and malty as expected from a dopplebock with a nice coffee flavor as well. Finishes more malty with little coffee flavor at the end. Pretty nice and drinkable. Medium to slightly rich body with good carbonation. Fairly noticeable tartness in the finish that detracted somewhat.

Mar 17, 2008 Tea colored pour with a 1 finger off-white head that fades quickly to a thin layer. Roasty chocolate and coffee aroma with notes of bread, toffee, a hint of dark fruit and some spices. Coffee dominates the flavor with a hint of dark fruits, spice, smoke, bread and a little nuttiness. Medium-thin body with soft carbonation.

Feb 28, 2008 Pours light brown with a dissipating white head. Smell is dominated by coffee. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, some caramel, dark fruit, lots of spice. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a finish that is roasty. This was a nice experiment even if the nose of the coffee overwhelmed everything else.
