Nov 6, 2006 An excellent pour for a doppelbock, very nice one finger head that had great retention, excellent lacing. Dark brown-ruby color. The aroma was malty sweet, chocolate, some grass, and assorted bready notes. Flavor was very pleasant, definite cocoa, doughy sweet malts, spicey molasses, and a slight grassy finish with some increasing temperature. Definitely not hoppy, but a darned outstanding doppelbock, far from cloying. Mouthfeel was silky and grainy, almost like a Baltic porter in that sense. Is among the better doppelbocks I’ve had, although it wasn’t as complex as Celebrator, and not as tempered with the hops.

Oct 2, 2006 Bottle. Poured ruby with a big light tan head that laced the glass nicely. Good doppelbock scent, sweet doughy, caramel, malty. Figs, and dark fruit evident in the flavor a very sweet body with a touch of roast smoke. Really coats the mouth and goes down smooth. Nothing amazing but a solid doppelbock.

Jul 10, 2006 Pours mahagony with a small frothy tan head that diminishes to a patchy film; no lacing. Aroma is nutty toasted caramel malt (grain, meal), trace yeast (dough), pineapple and alcohol becomes noticeable after warming. Medium bitterness, nutty caramel malt flavor, moderate sweetness replaces the bitterness, perfumey alcohol near the end, sour yeast slips in. Medium bodied, thin and oily palate.
