I was thrilled to find this available in Madison, WI. The body is a very dark brown with a little amber light showing through. The aroma is coffee and maple with chocolate. There are also fall leaves. The taste is light coffee with some sweet honey. The flavors are subtle. There is also some bourbon. A smooth and awesome dopplebock. Thanks for being my proofreader, Larry.

Aug 13, 2008 Only one Fish Tale was on the shelf at Steve’s in Madison and it was this one. Not my favorite style, I bought it just because it was Fish Tale. No regrets. Sweet, malty, chocolate flavor. Excellent Dopplebock.

Aug 9, 2008 A little bit expensive for what it is, but a good beer for sure. Sweet with caramel, mollassas, and malt. Some chocolate in there as well, but sweet chocolate, not bitter. Also, sugar beets are surprisingly a prominent flavor, whether there are any beers or not I don’t know. I don’t taste the oak.

Jul 22, 2008 From a 12oz Bottle. Courtesy of Stine. Mostly transparent, rust tinted chestnut brown colored pour with a thick finger of foamy beige. Malty aromas of milk chocolate and nutty coconut husk, along with hints of flamed raisin and light toast. Mostly clean, with a subdued alcohol presence. Medium full bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel with a smooth, creamy texture. Flavors of toasted bread and nuts up front on the palate, and grows increasingly roasty toward the finish. Warming alcohol in the final smack, coming across as boozey, spicy oak. The oak is subdued and is well integrated in the beer, but the flavors are biased toward the roast too much, causing that rich munich raisin character that I’m craving to get a bit lost. Thanks, Eben!

Jul 21, 2008 Bomber. Pours dark orange-brown with small tan head. The aroma is rich caramel, prune, some sweet chocolate, maple syrup, and a distant Pepsi note. The flavor is ash and caramel with a bit of a smoky feel. There is some bitter chocolate, burning leaves, and some earthy hops. Dry, ashy finish and aftertaste.

Jul 19, 2008 12oz bottle and i forget who gave/sent this to me but thanks!.....pours a dark and opaque reddish brown with an enormous tan head that took some time to settle....aroma of toast and biscuity malt in addition to sweeter dark fruit and wood.....flavors of dark fruit, roast, and even some hop bitterness but it all seems a bit muddled together. creamy mouthfeel but still felt somewhat thin.
