Had this after a dome-hike north of the Yosemite valley. I was surprised to read the so-so reviews of this delectable brew. Aroma was strong malt, caramel, and roasted hazelnuts. Nice pour with a small head and gentle lacing above the bark-brown body. Tasted like dark heaven with all the elements of the nose unveiled. Smooth as silk with the alcohol masked wonderfully. Don’t pass this one up. Take a good hike through the mountains and come back to enjoy this wonderfully rich brew. Easily in my top three for doppelbocks.

This dark copper beer poured with a generous beige head and a chocolate aroma. The flavor is coffee and chocolate with a toffee finish. It’s sweeter than most doppelbocks I have tried, but is still pretty tasty.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is sweet, cocoa beans, chocolate, and caramel. The look is clear, brownish in color, and has a beige colored head. The taste is sweet, decent but nothing special, very sweet, and caramel.

Bomber purchased at brewery while in Mammoth for a mountain biking trip. Pours a clear deep ruby-brown. The one finger of off-white head quickly dissipates into nothing. Interesting and very good aroma of sweet toffee leather, butterscotch, dark chocolate, and hazelnut. Flavor is sweet-ish malts, some smoke, and a little bit of light fruitiness. After the rich and complex nose, the flavor was a bit disappointing. Medium mouthfeel with the tiniest bit of bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is almost 100% hidden.

(22oz bottle) Pours a burgundy body with a small beige head. Aroma of raisins, roastiness, caramel and cocoa. Flavor of raisins, vinous, caramel, and some balsamic vinegar sourness.
