Dec 1, 2009 Walnut pour with a thin offwhite head. Aroma is pure coffee grounds and some roast. Flavor is a combination of nice malty bock flavor and some very intense coffee roast. A bit warm going down, I rather like this take on a doppelbock. It retains its relatively clean but deep maltiness and takes on a new intensity with the addition of coffee. Nice one Dark Horse

Oct 10, 2009 TAP: opaque brown/red pour, aroma of coffee grounds. Taste is all coffee, with a body that’s heavier than Oscura but lighter than Coffee Bender. Pretty good stuff.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle from Acknud. Like where does he get this stuff? Looks like a miracle from California perspective. Pours a clear dark ruby color with a temporary beige head. Aromas of coffee over dark caramel. Full bodied with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is coffee and chocolate - but it doesn’t seem mocha. Seems well balanced. It’s neither sweet nor dry. Kind of astringent. Rather mouth smacking.

Apr 30, 2009 Dark brown with no head. Aroma is dark fruit with coffee and chocolate. Flavor is exactly the same as the aroma with the chocolate providing a deep resonance. A hop based zing lights up the mouth is assisted by alcohol. A nice and flavorful beer..

Dec 20, 2007 On tap at Radio Maria, Champaign, IL. Deep translucent red-brown body, thin buff head. Coffee nose. Coffee makes the first impression on the palate, and lingers before giving way to sweet brown sugars and burnt caramels. Earthy finish. Lacks the heavy, dull breads and toffee of most doppelbocks. In fact, nothing about this beer really screams "doppelbock." That said, I found Perkulator tasty, but it will probably be a disappointment for those looking for something true to style.

Sep 15, 2009 ( 12oz bottle ) Pours a lightly hazy deep amber body with a small creamy head. Coffee nose smacks you in the face and talks about your momma with some roasty/nutty background notes. Flavor is aggressively coffee laden with some raisins, earth, caramel, and roastiness rounding it out.

Oct 28, 2008 The bottle has one of the sharpest labels I’ve seen (the demonic version), which also happens to have been executed by RateBeerian frankenkitty - skilled artist, fellow member of The LoSBD, and friend.
The beer from the bottle (pictured on the beer’s page, I might add) pours a slightly hazed chestnut body capped by a tall tan head that soon dwindles to less than a finger in height. The aroma is all about fresh coffee - not bad, but I’d like smell the malts a bit. They come out in the flavor, lightly roasted, chocolatey (bittersweet), and complemented by a dab of caramel (or toffee?) and a hit of alcohol. I don’t know the ABV of this, but the burn lingers at the back of my throat. Dry coffee finish. Pretty decent... and warming.
