Jun 18, 2009 Taster at the brewery in Poway. Pours a golden brown body with a thin, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate amount of lace. Aroma is fairly hoppy with a nice assortment of sweet malts and fruits. Flavor is similar with a nice bitterness throughout. Not your typical doppelbock taste. Sweet, but has a nice spicing. Finishes dry and lingers with a moderate bitterness. Palate is relatively full, but pretty slick. Overall, not a bad doppelbock. A little different than I was expecting, which was nice.

Apr 24, 2008 No head; orange beer. Orange nose, some caramel, and - nothing from the yeast? Sweet, a bit liqueurish, malts and caramel, a bit of US-hops, and then... Slick, even viscuous, no effect of the yeast. The bottle calls this Kellerbier If you please! Filtered Doppelbock sounds about right.

Feb 17, 2008 Brown with a fizzy head. Faint sweet malty aroma. Smooth sweet taste balanced with a mild bitterness and not even a hint of alcohol in the taste.

Oct 23, 2007 Had this one at Stone Anniversary party. Muddy orange brown with a gross foamy head. An ugly beer. Odd sweet aroma. Flavor is extremely sweet and syruppy with some dry notes too. Had a sour vinegar flavor as well. There had to be something wrong with this one, so I will have to rerate.

May 21, 2007 Draft at Pizza Port, Solana. Brown pour with a short tan head. Caramel and malt aroma. Flavor was flat and weak. Some nice malt, caramel, and toffee, but very thin.

Apr 6, 2007 Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. Brown pour with minimal head. Very nice aromas of sweet caramel and other malty aromas. Flavor fell way off. It actually started off decent with more malt and toffee, but quickly changed to some strange flavor that was not very good. The finish was ultra dry, and i mean tounge sucking dry. not a good dry. Not a fan.

Mar 6, 2007 Updated: Jul 30, 2007I had this March 1, 2007 at Hamilton’s in San Diego, both filtered and unfiltered. Unfiltered had a semi cat litter aroma but tasted very smooth, with nice caramel malt sweetness and slight marzapone flavors. Filtered had a bigger touch of spritzy tropical fruit. The eventual product should be a tasty session brew. Update 7/28/07 - tasted on tap at brewery during tour. Rich and full bodied thou a tad sweet for a dopple bock, nevertheless tasty. Not quite as tasty as their Ionizer though!
