| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2007 Picked up a .5 liter at Stateline in MD. Pours a deep ruby amber with an initial fizzy small head but fades to nothing. No head no lacing. Aroma is salty soy sauce, thcik sticky sweet caramel and munich malts, toast and chocolate hints. Slick flavor of more caramel, toasted malts, nutty, light chocolates, more soy, and some burnt malts. Ok palate, but not as easy to drink overall as some other doppelbocks. footbalm (1219), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jan 23, 2007 The aroma is grainy with licorice, brown sugar, cardboard, and herbs. The appearance is mahogany with a one finger head. The flavor is like the aroma but the alcohol is hotter than the aroma leads on. The palate is thin. Overall it’s interesting enough to finish but not one I would return to often. The aroma is better than the taste though it did improve as it warmed. TerryR (383), Oswego, Illinois, USA

Aroma is a blend of sweet malt, bread, chocolate and dark fruit. Sweet malty flavor with notes of chocolate and fruit. Long smooth finish. Very nice. dwyerpg (2553), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2006 Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Molasses, sweet bread and malts and a faint hint of sweet golden raisins make up the aroma. The body is dark amber/chestnut and holds a diminishing pinky sized tan head.
<P>
Fruit cake/pumpernickel tasting fore. Sweet and malty though the middle. The finish is lightly bitter, but this is mostly your typical malt heavy double bock. Fairly simple flavor profile, but easy to drink and that slightly carmelized molasses, pumpernickel flavor leaves a nice aftertaste.
