Feb 7, 2008 Bottle: Caramel ruby color, light head and lacing. Nose of sweet malt, some alcohol and fruit. The flavor has a moderate body, some caramel malts, underhopped, boring thin malts. Like an amped up Irish ale or 90 schilling. No where near a doppelbock in flavor. Finishes clean though.

Feb 3, 2008 Transparent and magnifying copper in color with an oily galaxy dust for the head. Aroma emits a traditionally eloquent olfactory, with chestnuts, hazelnut sheafs, toasted munich malt, maple nut and honey oats holistically forming a treatise on English toffee. Flavor produces a full arrangement with chestnut chocolate characteristics. Slightly bitter underbelly meets toffee and chocolate covered wheat bran flakes. Earthy, rich, decadent toasted grain complex strums favorably along the way. Fuller bodied with flavor allusions of ABV. Hints of buttered rum reside under the melded caramel and chocolate composure, finishing with English toffee chocolate chews.

Jan 31, 2008 Up front - Not worth the money. Don’t buy this unless you’re sharing it with one or two friends. Learn from one of The Master Division member’s mistakes. Not a bad beer, but way too costly for a doppelbock. Good looking, a very reddish chesatnut body, light and clear, with a lofty beige head. The aroma is sweet with caramel and brown sugar and orchard fruit tempered by a light leafy/herbal bitterness. Light-to-medium bodied, it’s mainly caramel in flavor, quite sweet, balanced by an earthy bitterness that lingers into the finish. As I said, too expensive, but a pretty decent drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Beverage Depot, Orland Park, IL<font size=-1>

Jan 23, 2008 Bottle: Pours a deep, clear mahoghany with a smaller head. Aroma is toffee, a little malty and sweet. Flavor is more subdued than I hoped for with light amounts of caramel, toffee, and hints of citrus hops. Still an easy sipper. Thanks BuckDich for sharing.
