Jul 11, 2009 Bottle... Clear mahogany lager with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Excellent retention. Nutty aroma with dabs of chocolate and caramel and maybe a vinous note or two. Full-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and laid-back carbonation. Sweet, malty flavor furnishes gobs of caramel, but doesn’t offer much in the way of bitterness or balance. Sweet toffee and caramel finish. Nice lager – very reminiscent of a Scotch ale.

Nov 28, 2009 Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a thin coating of off-white head. Aroma of rich sweet dark caramel and some raisins with an underlying bready yeastiness. Starts with good malty fullness and dark caramel sugars with a light noble hop balance and complex fruity notes before a semi-sweet chewy doughy finish. More of a doppelbock than a dunkler bock and pretty enjoyable.

Mar 29, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Deep brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is a little bit chewy. Some nice toasted caramelly character. There is a bit of nice chewy/toasty sweetness. Lightly raisiny with a kiss fruitiness as well. The malts are slightly minerally but still chewy. Fairly sweet mid-palate but it finishes dryer than I would have imagined. Pretty solid brew.

Jul 6, 2009 Sampled at Noogfest High 5. The body was dark copper, nearly brown with a light khaki head. Smells of caramel and apples. I also got some notes of bread crust and peanuts. The taste was sweet bubblegum and caramel. Good.
