GABF 2003: Clear orange/red color. Dark malts and fresh bread in the aroma, syrupy (in a good way) feel, excellent smooth ending. A great doppelbock.

On Tap at the Blind Tiger Ale House, NYC; 2002 Vintage: This one pours a clear copper color with a medium sized, mostly lasting, off-white head. The head leaves good lace on the glass and the aroma is wonderfully malty and sweet with a touch of molasses and brown sugar in the mix. It has a full body with soft carbonation and a full, rich, creamy mouthfeel that is ver satisfying. The flavor is full os malty goodness with just a hint of hop flavors present, which is just perfect for this style. A very nice doppelbock indeed.

Likely the finest Doppelbock I have tasted. There is simply a ton of good, sweet malt here which never even approaches being cloying. Complex, rich, warm (but never too boozy). Not too big, not too sweet, not too rich. A good analogy would be what Victory did with the Imperial Stout style, this brewery has done with Doppelbock.

Possibly the best Dopplebock in America. Avoids the sweet, syrupy, hints that other Dopples have. Is a rich, dry, strong lager that provides a wonderful experience. Far better on tap than in the bottle.

(Served from a growler) I always anticipate the release of this beer and I am never let down. The nose is straight forward exhibiting a pleasantly sweet malty aroma. The palate is full and rich with ample malt flavors intertwined with brown sugar. The hops are present but appropriately restrained for the style. I find this beer to be sweet, but not sappy. This beer has an OG 20 degrees plato and an alcohol content of 8.5% ABV, that indicates a beer that is well attenuated. Finally, the finish is long warming and delicately hoppy. Excellent Dopplebock!

A very hoppy tasting bock.
