Mar 23, 2007 Bottle: Dark ruby, light beige head, large and fluffy, spotty lacing. Rich bready nose, slight hints of dark pitted fruit. Quite bready on the tongue, almost too bready as it is very rich. Very malty. This certainly is a Dark Doppelbock. Moderate to full body and mouthfeel. One of the thicker Gordon Biersch beers I have had. Tiz decent.

Mar 16, 2007 Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with a thin-lacing, frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet dark toasty Munich malt has some bready notes and a hint of corn (DMS). Starts fairly full-bodied and caramely sweet with a pretty authentic German lager yeast strain and a toasty sweet dark caramel malty finish. A pretty good doppelbock.

Mar 15, 2007 Bottle. clear brown with little tan head. The aroma was of light smoke and caramel. The taste was the same with sweet roasted flavor at the end. Not bad.

Mar 15, 2007 Thanks to both shp555 and hopdog for sending this via Mystery Swap 2.0. Hazy deep brown pour with 1-finger khaki head. Aroma of roasty, nutty, brown sugary caramel and Munich malt, with some cinnamon and nutmeg noted in the aroma and flavor. Smooth, creamy palate, with a nice caramel, nutty flavor that finished smooth.

Mar 13, 2007 Pours a mahogany red with a large brownish tan head. First aroma is of caramel and malt. Taste has hints of caramel, chocolate, molasses and coffee, slightly sweet. Creamy on the palate with a bit of a hoppy aftertaste. A good everyday beer that pairs well with a brat and/or pretzels.

Mar 11, 2007 Bottle. Fresh aroma but not overly strong. Porterish. Mostly clear body. Dark, reddish brown with a tan head. Creamy, lasting head with nice lace. English character. Dry. Alcohol is a little harsh. Pretty decent, although a little cloying.

Mar 7, 2007 12oz bottle from TBC2 (thanks!!) beer pours a nice dark brown true to the label, smells caramel and malty and continues in taste with the malt, a malty taste with almost a woody type ending. Nice beer, overall nothing too spectacular.

Mar 4, 2007 Another average Trader joes brew. It has a nice appearance and aroma but it just lacks a lot of good flavor. The beer goes down alright but it has a lingering aftertaste.
