Feb 24, 2006 Pours a clear brown with a small white head. Aroma is caramel, malts, slightly hoppy, chocolate and slight coffee notes. Taste is rather bland for a doppelbock rather benign notes of caramel and chocolate with the maltiness is blended nicely. Palate is slightly sticky, bitter and dry. A just par doppelbock there are much better, and there are much worse.

Feb 20, 2006 Pours a very ruddy clear brown, with a greasy head of ivory. Aroma is a bit floral, with a good whiff of kitchen cleaner and sweet malt. Flavor is bland, slighty bready and a hint of warmth. Again, served too cold by Old Chicago, so that I can’t taste anything. When will those bastards learn?? Surprisingly drinkable.

Feb 19, 2006 Root beer colored pour with a nice, clean off-white head. Light, non-fragrant aroma of some roasted malts, cheap wort, and imitation maple syrup. Flavor is not bad, but definitely on the sweet side. I detect some brown sugar, but the alcohol makes its presence known and the finish is quick and grainy.

Feb 19, 2006 A pretty good doppel. Taste is lage like, with chocolate and nice roastiness. Sweet, but complimented by the bitterness of the roast. Nice.

Feb 2, 2006 Bottle. Poured a deep reddish-amber with a rather short-lived beige head. Aroma picked up some roasty caramel and toffee, but there was an unpleasant aire of Nutrisweet that carried through to the flavor. Caramel and a small dose of floral bitterness were also found in the flavor. Medium-bodied at most, and I got nothing memorable from the palate (good or bad). Not one to seek out, but several steps up from most of their portfolio.

Jan 29, 2006 First of all, I got on the Leiny website after I bought this beer in a mix a six, and who the hell has ever heard of a 5.8% dopplebock? 12 oz bottle. Served at 52.5° in a lager glass. Dark amber color with a small off white head. Nutty, molasses aroma that smells burnt. The initial taste is sweet, nutty malt followed by salty, nutty, dark caramel and malt flavor, and a smokey finish with some mild bitterness. The flavor isn’t too bad, but is not good either. The mouthfeel is thin for a dopplebock. I am really, really glad that I didn’t buy more of these.
