| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 23, 2005 Enjoyed @ the pub. Poured a small tan head, fair retention with spotty laceing. An almost black brew but with deep ruby red highlights. Nose of medium sweet malts, caramel, roast and a light spiceyness. Body is med/full, creamy on the palate. Good roast and light coffee flavors, licorice and caramel malts, light sourness and a light earthiness. Finish is lightly sweet and lingering. Alcohol is well hidden. A nice Doppel! desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Very dark ruby/mahogany with little head. There’s alcohol in there for sure, but it doesn’t sem like too much else. Bitter and sweet, too one-dimensional. hopdog (5604), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
