Oct 30, 2008 Pours nice neat tight small head. Dark amber with a bit of a reddish tinge. Good malty aroma. Excellent flavor befitting a Doppelbock, but it has a small hoppy kicker to it as would befit a Left Coast beer. Pleasant to drink. If you like Doppelbocks give it a try. Heck, if you don’t necessarily like Doppelbocks, give it a try. It might just convert you!

Oct 28, 2008 On tap at the Falling Rock in Denver (post GABF 2008). Dark, clear tea-coloured amber, thick almond head. Aroma of caramel and bananas. Palate is sticky caramel malt, and an estery fruit character that I can’t shake, like cooked bananas and peaches. It just doesn’t fit for me. Finish is fruity and sweet. I know I’m against the grain here, but I didn’t really warm up to this, even though normally I love this style.

Oct 27, 2008 From the bottle: Poured a dark amber with a fairly decent head that dissipated quickly but left some strong lacing. Good aroma…malty and sweet. Good thick mouth-feel. Interesting spice in the taste along with the malt that I was smelling earlier as well as some of that 8% ABV. I’ve not had a lot of doppelbocks but I think this one encouraged me to try a few others to compare.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottle shared by theisti. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tim. Pours mahogany with a thin cap of creamy off-white head. The nose is of dark caramel, toffee and a light smokiness. Medium-bodied and slick with a dry, almost woody finish. Lightly spicy and smoky dark caramel malt dominate the flavor profile. It’s not a bad doppelbock, but it is a bit drier than I’d prefer.

Oct 25, 2008 Waaaaaaaay too overmalted for me. Tasted like my tongue was going to collapse in sour vinegar. Ugh.

Oct 25, 2008 This was a pretty good beer. Quite malty throughout. I little carbonated. Certainly seemed a bit on the thick side though. I may need to buy another bottle as I am confused as to whether I really like this or not.
