| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 25, 2004 Pours a light color for a dobbelbock and smells of an incredible boquet of well balanced hoppy bitterness to the sweet hues of the double malty strength. A warming taste comes over the perfectly sweetend and incredble nutty fruit blend.
The best dobbelbock I’ve tried. Perceptron (32), USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Apr 13, 2004 Had this on tap at the brewery. "Doppelbock please" -- If I hadn't watched him pull it from the tap I would have thought there was some kind of mistake. Maybe it was the smells of the unwashed not-so-covered-up with patchouli swirling all around me but damned if I didn't get a glass of cloudy, muddy-looking beer that was WAY over the top alcoholic and PHENOLIC! A Lager? Jeez this stuff needs work. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 6, 2003 Dark, murky brown with a thin head. Thick and chewy on the palate; just a little cloying. Mild carbonation. Strong sweetness is unbalanced against the mild hops (it's only very mildly bitter and zingy). Has somewhat of a nuttiness about it. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Malts seemed a bit green. Ernest (4501), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2003 Draught.
Body is medium orange-brown.
Aroma is
moderately malty (caramel, toasted dark bread, nutty),
with notes of toffee and smoke, hint of alcohol.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation, lightly alcoholic.
I'd prefer to see more hop/bitter development in the finish to balance the malt, but it's quite pleasant.
