Jul 11, 2008 From Liquid Solutions. 500 ml. swingtop as Doppel Bock Extra. Dark amber color with a substantial beige head. Bready caramel aroma backed by some fruity hop. Medium to full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt with some herby hop. Finishes a bit sweet, but the effect is almost a balance. As time passes, darker fruit notes pop up.

Jun 3, 2008 Dark amber with a tall khaki head. Sweet caramel aroma, fig and notes of sweet apple. Sweeter palate, a chewy caramel start, hops give it a bit of balance, but it stays on the sweet side into the finish. Finish has a soft molasses taste to it.

Apr 15, 2008 Pours a rich amber with a small head and a sweet, raisin aroma. Tastes like watered-down barleywine... hmmmm. Thin body, very low in carbonation. It has a nice finish...? I want to say something nice about it. It wasn’t unpleasant.

Mar 26, 2008 Marzipan sweetness, lavender and pastry dough in the sweet, malt forward aroma. Clear dark brown body is topped by a low cover of off white head. Very sweet flavour is nutty and pastry like in character. A hint of alcohol occasionally during the tasting. Medium light body is somewhat watery in texture due to fairly low carbonation. Bottle (BB 07.02.08) sampled at Oakes’ Xmas tasting 2007.

Jan 19, 2008 Bottle (kindly delivered by joss!): deep amber coloured, slightly lacing beige head, nutty, sugary nose with a touch of roasted malt and alcohol; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; chocolatey-bitter and dark sweet-malty finish. O.K., quite well made.......
