| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2009 Sampled at the St Louis Brewers Heritage Festival 2009. Areally good example of the style. I’ve always thought of Morgan as a little on the light weight approach to brewing, but this one is top notch. Definitely true to style with the sweet chewy toasted malt goodness of maple and caramel and just a little hops to balance. I’m impressed! SkyinBrian (429), Collinsville, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 11, 2008 At the brewpub. Served a little too cold. Dark brown body with a thin off white head. The aroma was sweetened iced tea with some caramel. The taste is light iced tea with light hints of Tootsie Rolls. A decent malty dopplebock with a little bit of a little bit of a bubblegum finish. bonehead2205 (2), Illinois, USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Lots of malt. Easy to drink yet not weak in flavor. Went great with a meal or standalone. BOBANDDOUG (61), Belleville, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2007 Part of a sample bunch, prior to the Packers/Rams game ( GO PACK!)
My favorite of the bunch from these guys. Poured dark, with creamy head. Aroma smelled of fresh roasted malt.
Tastes sweet (which I like in a dop), with more honey than the honey wheat I sampled. Didn’t notice the high carbanation others have said.
Finishes with just a very,very slight taste of hops. A bit thinner than German dops, not a Celebrator, Optimator, or Maximator threat, but, is a nice, easy to drink, and maybe a session dopple.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Pours dark mahogany with a tight light tan. The aroma has sweet dark malts, honey and brown sugar. Medium body that starts lush and then ends sharp and grainy with some sharp carbonation - far too sharp for the style. The flavor starts with brown sugar and heavily toasted malt and some molasseses. The finish is grainy, spicy and spritzy. A fair example of the style. Soonah (931), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 15, 2007 Pale brown color that was nice and clear. The head was thin and white and offered up a bit of lacing. The aroma wasn’t that intriguing, too soapy. Would have liked more malt and some caramel or chocolate. The flavor was mild, non-offensive, almost struggling to find its identity. The malt was there but it failed to go anywhere. Another watery example from this place.
