May 6, 2008 There’s not much I can say about this then the commercial description has not already stated. This is a truly delicious example of this style. Definitely has the fruitcake, with a viscous mouthfeel, and a lingering sweetness on the palate, and some roasty coffee notes in the finish.

Apr 7, 2008 Espresso-mocha aroma. Dark-brown/black color with thin layer of white head. Multiple layers of flavor: raisin, molasses, chocolate roasted maltiness. Alcohol is well masked by the strong and balanced hop flavors on the side of the tongue. Could have used a bit more carbonation.

Mar 24, 2008 Excellent example of the style. All malt on the nose and the palate. Faint flavors of dried fruit and chewy sugary-ness as well. Delicious aromas and flavor. The only spot where this one falls short is the appearance on the pour. Seemed a bit thin and weak on the pour. I was pleasantly surprised once I put it to my nose and lips, but if I had to have a critique of this one, it would be on the pour. But - that being said - I would happily order this one whenever I see it available... and doppelbocks are my favorite style of all beers. Delicious.
