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.

Nov 3, 2007 Pours a nice mahogany with an off white head. Toasty malt and dark raisin/fruit aroma.
Medium malty body, slightly jarring alc. bite. Sharp sweetness in the flavour.
More balanced overall than I remember Merry Monks last bottling to be.

Nov 1, 2007 650ml bottle. Pours with a gorgeous head and leaves lacing on the glass. Dopplebock aromas: toasty malt. Killer mouthfeel. Good body with dark roasty flavors and a slight alcohol punch. Nothing at all is off or disturbing and it’s a very nice drink. Would be an awesome inclusion in a dopplebock tasting session and I’d be honored to taste this on tap.

Sep 30, 2007 This is a style I am not familiar with at all. Poured a dark, almost burnt, brown. Aroma is malty and rich, raisins, backberries, caramel and some vanilla struggling to conduct the symphony. Flavor is as I expected, a snap shot of the aroma. But everything is in harmony, no dis-jointed notes. Very nice.

Sep 26, 2007 Good but mild aroma, spectacular appearance with big lingering head, frothy smooth palate, good brown-sugar-tinged flavor though mild. Thick, rich and creamy palate.

Sep 18, 2007 Bottle. A dark red brown beer with a big beige head. The aroma is light roasted malt, chocolate and rye bread, so is the taste, light sweet. Medium body with a light dry finish.
