Nov 9, 2003 New batch Nov 2003. Deep dark ruby, off white head, lasting lace. Sweet malt, dark candied fruits, grapes, caramel dipped fresh bread, and chocolate. Faint hint of hops at the end, but this is all about the malt. Super smooth, soft carbonation. IMO, rivals Celebrator any day of the week. Really good and worth seeking out if you're in the area. Oh....and has a nice alcohol kick in the pants...in the good way of course...

Nov 13, 2003 This beer rocks!
Pours very dark. Only when held up to bright light does one have the opportunity to behold this beer's handsome, ruby hue. Small, creamy, khaki-colored head with thick, creamy lacework.
The aroma is very malty and full of molasses, dark raisins, plums, figs, dates, caramel and toffee. The flavor is almost like a caramel-filled, chocolate Easter egg.
Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel. The carbonation is pillow soft. Short, fairly dry finish. Excellent, world class beer... especially for maltheads like myself!

Dec 17, 2004 A very nice and smooth doppel. A touch of caramel blended with some chicory. Not quite the Church Brew Works Doppel but still a wonderful beverage.
