Mar 18, 2006 This doppelbock is not as smooth as others in its class. This has an immediate bitterness/crispness from the hops. I prefer doppelbocks to be more malty. I don’t detect much aroma either. The palate is on the weak side, not "rich" like their label suggests. The flavor and aftertaste leave a lot to be desired for its style.

Mar 13, 2006 On Draught. By the time I got this poured, the head had basically disappeared, so I’m not sure if the head quickly disappeared, or if there wasn’t much to begin with. Caramel is the flavor of the day here. Somewhat one dimensional, not very complex in structure. I still enjoy this over some in the style, however. Probably this the creamy dark are my favorite out of the Leinie’s line, which isn’t saying much. But I’d order again assuming there wasn’t a lot of other options.

Mar 6, 2006 Pours dark. Similarity to doppelbock ends there. Smell and taste are both faint. Malt is not nearly as prominent as one would expect. Indeed, this beer is rather watery. Taste isn’t offensive, but describing this as a doppelbock is.

Mar 5, 2006 Well, it pored ok - Looked like a dark iced-tea with some foam. But . . . it smelled like a wet towle or old sweat socks. The flavor started off non-descript, with a cocoa taste in the middle, and then a little something unidentifiable at the end. Very watery.

Mar 2, 2006 Dirty/dark-looking
Sweet roasted malt aroma. I’m not sure what else to say...
Sweet malt, with raw corney molasses overpowering the taste.
Its okay, but the corney molasses overpowers everything.

Feb 28, 2006 Pours a nice dark brown. Aroma of malt, nuts, hops. Tastes malty, with some hops and roasty hints.

Feb 26, 2006 Pours a brown amber with small white head. Aroma is of caramel malts and some hoppiness. Slight coffee and dark chocolate flavors are present - however it is subdued by the bold maltiness. Could have been much better, but not too bad.
