Fat and intense aroma of pumpernickel. Quite full-bodied with loads of roasted malt and pumpernickel. Solid American hoppy finish - a lot hoppier than the German originals. But a fine example of the style. 160109 yespr (12311), Copenhagen O, Denmark

Mild wooden and dry caramel malt aroma, subdued sweetness and alcohol presence. Quite hoppy and subdued malty into the flavoured all the way through. Nice and easy, yet not classic doppelbock but a good twist with the US hops that shine more through than the classic continental European ones. joergen (8617), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 2, 2008 (750ml bottle) Small off-white head atop clear dark amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, light chocolate, earthy, herb. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some smoke, light apricot. Medium body. No sign of the barrel aging (not sure this is a bad thing, just figured it to be something worth commenting on). faroeviking (6107), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 18, 2009 Botella. Unclear red brown colour with a good medium white head. Aroma of well toasted malt and caramel with some eyast and light alcohol. Good pleasant mouthfeel. The flavour has a good deep maltiness with caramel, some yeast, some dark fruits, a pleasant soft bitterness, and some alcohol. Tasty double bock. bu11zeye (5564), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 11, 2008 (750ml bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of light toastiness and caramel. Flavor of mild hops, nuts, and caramel malt. Lacked complexity and quite uninteresting. Rastacouere (5559), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A rather untight doppelbock.
I like:
Gentle toastiness, albeit very light. Bright and shiny orange looks. Fruity. Earthy/leafy concluding hops. Limited alcohol presence. Clean.
I dislike:
15-20$ price tag. Misplaced soft tartness and orange notes. Biting carbonation. Loose cerealic maltiness. Generic caramel.
