[Bottle] Pour a clear caramelly color with almost no head. Subdued caramel malt aroma with some raisins. Very thin, somewhat offensive taste. Chalky, oddly bitter, pulpy, and overripe fruits. This beer is definitely showing its age.

Bottle at Shoreline Beverage, Huntington, NY. Nice aroma, mainly malt, some fruit and plums, tiny bit of alcohol. Nice copper color typical to the style. Nice thick mouthfeel. Taste of caramel malts, and a candy sweetness. Leaves a slight malty sweetness on the palate. the alcohol within is relatively well hidden. Nice dopplebock, not outstanding for this category, though. Obviously, I liked it better than many of my esteemed ratebeerians, however. BTW, where is the whiskey in this?

Not sure who brought this to the after party of the tasting, but I believe it was one of our local distributors. Thanks! Copper color with a thin head. Sweet grain and caramelly aroma. Very light flavor that primarily reminded me of a grain silo or feed mill store. Not bad by any stretch, but seemed more like a darkened version of a pale lager, not a doppelbock. I’ve had Stranahan’s whiskey, too, and I did not pick up any whiskey or oak notes.

Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Created a mild aroma of toasted malt and a background of nuts. Appearance is a honey or tea color with a small formation of head on top. The flavor is what you could expect from an imported German doppelbock style and drinks smoothly with notes of toffee and caramel malt.

Dark copper color, decent foam. Nose is kinda sweet dark malts, some alcohol. flavor is a little off putting, large amount of malt flavors as expected, some fruit, a little to much alcohol kinda tart. just doesn’t feel like this ever completly came together

burgundy with a medium fluffy head. deep malt flavors and aromas with a light wood spiciness. sweet clean finish. a little bland, could use a little more depth to the flavor

bottle from holiday. Copper red with a fizzy white head. Caramel aroma and taste with wheat bread and toffee notes very little noticeable whiskey on the back end and some alcoholic warmth. I was wanting more whiskey, vanilla, and oak taste, but it wasn’t there.
