Apr 10, 2008 I might just be praising trader joes too much in this review but, really, 2.99 for a six pack? Insane. Especially considering that this is one of the better beers joe’s holds. Buy it. In bulk.

Apr 9, 2008 Really not bad, especially considering the $3.99/six price point. Dark brown pour with tan head. Pleasant aromas of raisins, caramel, and earth. Taste doesn’t follow through as much. Malty, earthy, slightly fruity. A little too sweet, and a slightly thin metallic finish. Worth a try at the very least. I’ll drink another.

Apr 7, 2008 Is it a lager? Is it a porter? Its more like both, all in one beer. Carbonation is much lighter (thankfully) than the dunkleweizen. Perfect amount of bitterness makes it perfect with pizza.

Apr 5, 2008 pours dark brown, aroma is malty, flavor is very lacking, but doesn’t taste bad, feels very thin in the mouth, with almost no carbonation, not that great

Mar 31, 2008 Dark brown coloured body with a very nice dense tan head. Aroma of raisins, malt, toffee and nuts. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty flavours with some malt and caramel noticeable and a bit of funk fading afterwards. Aftertaste shows raisins and malt more than anything with some metal and nuts also coming through. Overall, not such a great beer - however, it was decent to try. This twelve ounce bottle cost only $0.50 from Trader Joe’s in San Francisco (North Beach), California...which I sampled on 31-March-2008.

Mar 16, 2008 Possibly the least impressive dopplebock I have ever tasted. Very little taste, aroma, or body. The clerk said it is a "very good beer" so I was expecting much better. Even at a dollar a probably not a worth a purchase.

Mar 1, 2008 Brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly alcoholic, caramel, light smoke, raisin. Taste is malty, with light caramel, lightly roasty. Not bad.

Mar 1, 2008 Better then expected. Caramel - chocolate aroma. Clear mahogony color, not much head. Deep roasted (near burnt) flavor, caramel. Palate coats nicely and stays around witha slight bitter edge to offset the other sweet notes. Excellent for the price.
