May 24, 2006 Translucent and fiery cherry-amber in color with a creamy, oily and tannish-grey head. Head retention doesn’t entirely endure, but it was otherwise a beautiful looking beer. Aroma is right on target - peppered caramel, copper toffee, rich chocolate accented pecans and brazil nuts, and moderate brown sugar & allspice. There’s depth, if you take the time to take it in. Vibrant bock traits lead right into the big flavors, culminating toffee chews with cocoa abrasions. Fieriness carries through on peppery sails, further livened by slightly burnt apple wedges, now caramelized and sprinkled with bark shavings and nutmeg. Nutty pear traits and a hint of pralines & golden raisins further the alluring fruit flavor force. Heavy liquid fluidity on the palate with just enough carbon dioxide to pump up the volume. Perfectly balanced in its dominion. Swiss chocolate compacted between the tongue and mouth top comes out prevalently in the finish, along with broiled apples, flan and earthen wonders. This is one hell of a doppelbock.

May 22, 2003 Tasted on draught at the Munich HauptBahnhof(train station). Very dark brown in colour, especially when served brimful in half litre glasses. Flavour hints at chocolate with balanced bitterness and alcohol completing a near perfect package. I wish I could have one now!

Jun 13, 2003 A really winter warmer. Nice strong alcohol taste in the palate. The beer is very flavourful and malty. A magnificant balance between the alcohol and the bitterness. A great brew.

Jun 15, 2009 Dark brown with a lasting creamy off-white head. Rich biscuit and bready malt aroma. Sweet and rich malty flavour with a little vineous fruit. Delicious!

Feb 15, 2002 I had this beer awhile ago, but I remember it as being a pretty good Doppelbock. There aren’t that many around so they tend to each be pretty memorable. It’s dark and strong with that characteristic aroma of doppelbock. I am surprised there are only 3 ratings for this one. Must be hard to find in the states. I had it when I was in Germany.

Aug 18, 2003 Beautiful dark brown with a big and tasty head. Full-bodied with notes of rye bread, roasted malt and more. A very good Doppelbock.
