This one came back from Nashville and is a decent drink. Pours clear brown with a bit of a red hue. Decent tan head. Flavor is a little bit of raisin and a nice roasted malt profile. Finish is a little sweet and sugary. Aroma reminds me a little bit of a weak bourbon drink and has a hint of alcohol in there.

For my 400th rating. Beautiful, brilliantly clear dark clear amber with golden amber highlights and decent sustainable tan head. Aroma is the best part of this brew, rich malt, raisins, plum, caramel, cane sugar, and the faintest hint of alcohol on the tail end. Flavor is a bit of a let down. All the above mentioned in the flavor, but a prevailing hop bitterness joins, and in my opinion, ruins the party. Body is medium thin, but at the same time, ever so slightly syrupy. Too bitter for my taste. But a solid brew nontheless.

This was a very good doppelbock. Nice dark golden color, very malty, hints of brandy.

Shared bottle with Timfoolery. Poured a dark amber color and had the smell of sweet hops. Smooth on the palate, but somewhat bland in flavor. A little bit of spice flavor but not too overpowering. Drinkable, but not a outstanding beer.

Bottle from Wade’s Wines in Westlake Village, CA. From the ratings, you’d think this one was lacking, but I didn’t find that the case. It was very drinkable with a nice maltiness to it and limited bitterness. Octoberfest is right around the corner, and this one was great with a brat!

Bottle. Pours a deep amber color, with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel. Flavor is similar, sweet, lots of caramel, chewy, but there is a lack of carbonation that leaves the beer a little flat.

Bottle 750. Poured a deep amber color with a thin cream colored head. Taste is a sweet caramel. Flavors are very rich and full. Personally I enjoyed this brew a lot.

Bottle from Sams in Durham. Amber pour with a thin head. Complexity opens up as it warms. Citrus/piney aroma. Oily mouth-feel with flavors of hazelnuts, roast, malts, and hops.
