Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with an equally nice dark fruit. Flavor is again an excellent dark fruityness with some sugar and spice. Leaves a little molasses on the tounge after the swallow. This is a soild dopplebock.

Oct 11, 2009 Pours a clear dark amber/garnett color with a pretty big fluffy light tan head. Aroma is molasses and sweet roasted malt. Taste is blackstrap molasses, licorice, sweet malt and merlot wine. Quite complex and very good. A tummy warmer for sure.

Oct 4, 2009 Sampled at Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. for a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting. The pour to my wine/sampler glass was amber/brown with a decent, light tan head and clingy lacing. The nose was toasty, a little caramel, and some brown sugar sweetness. The flavor was similar, with some nice, warming alcohol, subtle bitterness, and a smooth, creamy texture to the tongue. A good Doppel.

Sep 21, 2009 Deep copper color with a medium tan head that diminishes rather quick. Nose is sweet while both malty and fruity. It has a roasted malt taste with a dry alcohol finish.

Sep 21, 2009 Pours deep reddish bronze with a nice dense tan head. The aroma has lots of deep toasted dark malt, thick bread, dark caramel, dates and slight warmth. Medium / thick body with some abv warmth hitting first on the taste and there is minor carbonation. The flavor also has toasted malt, some oxidized traits, somewhat watery, caramel and phenolic spice. The finish packs even more of an alcohol warmth. Okay doppel.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a murky, dirty water dark brown with just a faint whispy off-white head that accumulates and clings to the edge of the glass. Aroma is sweet with some roasty malt character. Very chocolatey deep roast malt flavor. Malt tends toward burnt and astringently bitter but falls just short of that remaining palatable. Full creamy mouthfeel.

Aug 13, 2009 A very dark reddish brown pour with a small tan head that ends blotchy. Nose is very fruity with roasted notes and brown sugar. Flavor is roasted notes with a nice hop background. Fruit, malt, biscuit, brown sugar, spice, and late appearing alcohol. A very well done beer that should be a winner for Sand Creek.

Feb 19, 2009 12 oz. bottle from the Binny’s Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL) that had been in the fridge for a long while. Pours a hazed reddish dark copper with moderate tannish head that dissipates to a decent level and laces some. Aromas are largely nice carmel and biscuity malts, some breadiness and brown sugar, light fruit, and very minimal hop bouquet. Initial is medium bodied, a little empty up front, moving to nice toasted biscuity and toffee malts with decent bitterness in the finish. Light brown sugar, maple syrup, and subtle fruitiness show up in the body. Decent enough, just not really something I jump for.
