SturmWulf (63), USA Jul 16, 2007 Very rich aroma with a dark reddish-brown color. Head was a slightly tan color and was creamy. Nice lacing. Very smooth, lightly bitter with a medium body, slightly creamy, slightly oily texture, nice carbonation, with a quick finish. I enjoyed the slight bitter chocolate, lightly malt flavor. A nice beer, I would buy again. Leinies did well with this one!
Used a stein with this one.
voegeli (11), Kansas, USA Dec 5, 2008 Not a bad beer, just not one of my favorites. I would gladly order another one. When I think of great Dopplebocks, this beer does not fall into that category. However, I do think that it is still a good beer and would reccomend it to anyone. jimmack34 (184), Ohio, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours smokey brown with a rich creamy head. Smells of carmely, raosted malts, and somewhat fruity. Tastes like carmel roasted malts and fruity, honey, molasses, bittersweet. Has a good aftertaste, very sweet. Swalden28 (744), McKinney, Texas, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours dark brown with some orange hues, beige head that stayed around as a ring. Small aroma of chocolate and dark roast. Flavor is kinda weak, some dark roast, faint chocolate, faint caramel. Mouthfeel is light body and high carbonation....Overall, I think this is a poor excuse for a Dopplebock, I was dissapointed.......It is kinda tasty and easy to drink though....Seems more like an American dark lager. From seeing the first ratings, it must have been better a few years ago... Pershing (114), Garland, Texas, USA Aug 17, 2008 Deep dark brown with a light tan head. Light malt flavor that is very thin. This is the Amercian doppelbock version so keep your expectations low. SpudClampDawg (974), Jasper, Indiana, USA Aug 5, 2008 <i>12oz bottle:</i> Reddish brown pour with little head to speak of. This beer really comes alive at it reaches room temperature. Caramelized malts, sweet honey, cocoa and almonds. The sweetness and complexity resonates in the body. Light and drinkable, the lagering really helps smooth this out. A nice intro to the doppelbock style.
