Mar 15, 2004 Deep copper and browns with a fluffy tan head. Lot of dark fruit, brown sugar, caramel, and fresh baked bread. Rich, without being overly sweet. This batch didn't show any of the ABV. On tap at Degroens, declared as 9% if I recall. Medium to full bodied, nice soft carbonation. Quite smooth and drinkable. Worth a try if in Charm City.

Feb 1, 2004 Dark copper appearance with a small head. Fruity aroma with cookie dough-like sweetness. Full-bodied and filled with the rich, sweet malt taste of a really good bock. Smooth finish with a bit of a kick.

Dec 11, 2003 Nice head with big malt aroma. Caramel, then caramel, oh how about some caramel (It is kind of like that Being John Malkovich movie scene where everyone said "Malkovich" and nothing else). Anyway, typical doppelbock which is very true to style and fresh. Alcohol flavor in aftertaste.

Dec 10, 2003 Brown. Phenomenal nose, hugely malty, sweet, toffee, just excellent. Flavor does not live up to the nose's promise, as it's a bit thin. Sweet, lacking depth, doesn't have the malts needed to back things up. General consensus was this would probably be better had it aged a bit longer.

Dec 8, 2003 Crystal clear, deep amber lager with copper highlights. Small, creamy, khaki-colored head.
The aroma holds nice notes of caramel and buttermilk.
The flavor is very malty and rich with big butterscotch.
Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, astringent finish.

Dec 6, 2003 Hazy copper with a small off-white head. Aroma has lots of very nice malt notes. Flavor is quite sweet, nutty and cherry flavors also abound. Medium full body and the alcohol makes its self known.

Nov 29, 2003 Updated: Dec 31, 2003[On tap] Cola-colored, with a full head that rapidly dissolved. Hints of banana, clove, and just the slightest bit of kiwi fruit. Well-balanced and full-bodied, this is an excellent doppelbock. Wonderful maltyness. Sweet, but in a balanced comfortable way. The only flaw is I could easily feel the alcohol, but it wasn't very distracting. Not much could be distracting when you're drinking this beer.
