Dec 2, 2007 Bomber. Poured dark brown with slight off-white head. Pretty sweet and roasty aroma, though perhaps missing something. Taste is very malty with the roast coming back into play. Definitely an easy drinker, despite a somewhat full mouthfeel. I’m a fan.

Nov 18, 2007 Bomber. Nice-looking extreme dark brown with an even, thin light tan head. Aroma of sweetness and light herbal spice. Some dark fruits and a hint of hops. Taste is initially mildly sweet with some light dry notes in the middle that continue on to the finish. The alcohol is overall well-hiddden. This certainly is a superior dopplebock with regard to American attempts, and it negotiates the style well, producing a clean, strong brew with subtle flavors. Will revisit.

Nov 5, 2007 Very dark brown color, big head settling relatively quickly. Wonderful notes of chocolate and roasted nuts, notable hops give it a grapefruit-raspberry fruitiness that fades to a moderately bitter and dry finish. Not super rich but the flavor is very well rounded and easy to drink. Alcohol is clearly present but not a problem. At $4.29/single this is more of a special occasion beer than a regular.

Nov 4, 2007 Pours a lovely dark brown with a small ring of off-white foam and minimal lacing. Lovely chocolate & spicy, yeasty nose. Flavour is very well blended - sweet and lightly roasted malting with dark plum and even tart notes and a nice sharp, hoppy finish that eventually warms nicely. Body is thick and chewy, carbonation faint but decent. This is a wonderful doppelbock, and will be interesting to compare to the local Merry Monks seasonal.
