Apr 17, 2005 Updated: May 18, 2006Cask version at Barley’s 4th Annual Mini RAF (05/13/06): Another year, another good Doppelbock from GLBC. Dark honey color with a thin light beige head that retains pretty well. Thin spotty lacing. Malty, nutty aroma with some dark fruit. Medium-bodied with a hoppy and nutty character, along with a good malt backbone. Some caramel and coffee in the background as well. The finish is sweet and malty. Enjoyable.
Cask version at Barley’s 3rd Annual Mini RAF (04/16/05): GLBC definitely came to play at this event. Dark honey color with a miniscule and foamy beige head. Aroma of malt and dark fruit. Medium body with a hoppy punch at first that rounds out quickly. Catching up with the initial hops blast are coffee, nut and malt flavors. The finish is lightly bitter and dry. A little more sweetness would help this beer, but overall there isn’t much to complain about.

Apr 19, 2005 Tasted at the MRAF in Columbus. Poured a dark brown with foamy off-white head. Aroma was a complex blend of malt, small hop and fruit tone. Flavor was as complex with a full bodied malt, coffee and a low hop finish. Complex flavor and texture did not allow a alcohol or bitter bite. Very good brew.

Oct 5, 2006 had on tap, pours a murky dark brown, almost black with a thin off white head. not much aroma, a little malt and sweetness. excellent flavor, rich toasty, yet very smooth. good mouthfeel that coats the tongue with a dry semi-sweet finish. very good doppelbock.

Apr 16, 2005 MRAF ’05. Pours ruby/brown with almost no head from the firkin. Aroma is plum like. Taste is smooth, fruity, and a little watery. 8% is hidden extremely well, very drinkable stuff. Sweet on the finish. Good beer.

Apr 11, 2005 Even at almost 8%, this is a very easy to drink doppel. Deep brown with hints of red, kind of clear. Aroma is sweet malts, fruity. Flavor is sweet and full of chocolate with very light hints of roast and smoke. Not overly thick, and kind of dry at the finish - these factors keep it from being too sweet overall.

Apr 9, 2005 Ruddy mahogany color. Mildy sweet malty aroma, never overwhelming, with hints of chocolate and dark fruit. Fruity flavors that are lightly sweet but never cloy. Just a touch of alcohol on the finish. Only real knocks are that it’s just a bit watery and a little bit boozy on the finish.

May 13, 2006 Firkin at MRAF at Barley’s Smokehouse in Columbus Ohio - Poured copper with a creamy tan head that faded pretty quick. Aroma is mostly caramel, but some notes of raisin as well. Flavor is nice malty caramel, sweet raisin, and light roasted notes. Palate was malty and medium bodied. Somewhat watery on the finish.
