Jun 4, 2006 22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium and lightly hazy mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, roast, light caramel, and somewhat nutty. I like the aroma. Tastes of caramel and then a tart and almost sour dark cherry. Tastes was a big let down compared to the aromas.

Mar 9, 2006 Hazy dulled river water orange, headless. Buttery, strong honeymelon and watermelon, tomatoes and other fruits make for an unexpected start. Ropey pedioccocus bring a lightly tart character that grows acetic and fruit oriented in mouth. Residual sweetness nevertheless present in the shape of brown sugar crystals. Light bodied, weak carbonation, insanely thin. Hugely disappointing and barely drinkable at this point.

Jun 24, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Numenor: Foamed vigoroudly upon opening. Pours a clear ruby mahogany with a big forthy tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and German lager yeast with some light fruity notes and soft grain. Body starts with some mildly sweet caramel malt, quickly fading into a chalky, earthy, fizzy bland finish. Sort of dull and uninteresting, with too much carbonation and not enough balance.

Mar 6, 2006 Any first impressions?
-A ring of head surrounds the muddled mahogany.
-A tropical fruit salad clashes with the sugary cocoa powder.
-Uncanny tartness, pickle juice, and melon fruitiness are catastrophic signs of beery apocalypse.
-May have something to do with the growing wilderness, but the mouthfeel appears thin for the style.
What if you dig deeper?
-Black pepper rises in the nose.
-There is a lot of bustling fruitiness, but it is sadly diseased.
-Something like this doesn’t deserve to be analyzed further, by the consumer anyway.
-Even if this bottle were over 2 years old, a doppelbock shouldn’t deteriorate like this.
Bottle; no date.

Apr 10, 2007 Nose is full of doughy dusted malted milk balls and bread crust. Creamy and moderately thick, biting a little bit, with a coarse texture and granola and cereal grain flavor, light smoke and light charred oats. A decent doppelbock, better than I was expecting after seeing the previous ratings.
