Pours very dark mahogany with a light tan head that rises and fades quickly. Aroma of lots of coffee, along with some light plum/raisin and chocolate notes. As expected, a big coffee flavor, with just enough of a sweet cocoa background to support the bitter espresso. Creamy, medium-full body. Decent, but this is for coffee lovers only.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours deep brown/black with a fine tan head. Aroma is dry with coffee and mild malty qualities. Flavor is stale coffee with an excellent sweet backing. The mouthfeel really pulls it together. Good beer!

Jul 6, 2008 Courtesy ChzMan. Dark beown/black. Tan head. A ton of roasty malt and fresh coffee, lightly bready. Full body, just smoother than balanced. Solid.

Jun 15, 2008 750 via trade a while back. Shared with my girlfriend Cyn. Poured into my Celebrator Glass, pours dark brown with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is pretty cool, very malty and lots of coffee. Taste is really nice with tons of coffee and some deep dark malts. This is a damn nice espresso doppelbock. Great beer.

Jun 8, 2008 750 ml bottle from Matthew. Pours a very dark brown color with amber highlights and a medium khaki head. The aroma is big with dark chocolate, coffee and a bit of smoked malts. The flavor is straightforward with mocha, a touch of cola and abundant dark biter chocolate. The mouthfeel is smooth and malty. The finish is medium in duration with more linger coffee. Overall: This beer really appealed to me. I love it. Thanks Matthew.
