Jan 20, 2007 Slight caramel nose. Dark red mahogoney color with a generous tan head. Nice lacing. Caramel flovors up front with a chocolate coffee ending. Surprisingly crisp for a dark beer. Not suripy or heavy. This brew stays with its crisp caramel taste to the end with out a bitter smack.

Jan 15, 2007 Bottle that Decaturstevo brought to the Nashville tasting. Give me a New Glaurs anyday. Thanks Steve!. Pours deep garnet with a dissapating off white head. Malty raisen like aroma. Initial flavor of milk chocolate and coffee that transitions to a caramel, peat, and molassess middle. Fairly sweet, but not overdone. Very earthy finish, in fact, so earthy that very subtle flavor of dirt lingers. Another solid beer from a brewery that rarely disappoints.

Jan 12, 2007 Bottle from Ryan. Thanks. Pours out a dark brown color without a head at all. Smell is chocolate, coffee, caramel, some hops, a little bit of a roasted smell as well. Taste is sweet and smooth with a nice fruity chocolate finish. Good stuff, quite drinkable.

Jan 2, 2007 Pours a deep brown color with a nice sized tan head. Chocolatey aroma compliment by a spot of brown sugar. Dark fruits and chocolate dominate the flavor. Lingering caramel finish. Good stuff.

Dec 23, 2006 (Bottle via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-38026.htm target=blank>buckybeer, thanks Mark!) A bock for porter lovers!...Pours clear dark cola brown with about three fingers of tan head. Aroma is, surprisingly, chocolatey, maybe a bit of caramel sweetness and even some roastiness. Mouthfeel fairly full and creamy, a touch dryish in aftertaste. Light carbonation. Lots of spotty lacing. Flavor is milk chocolate/cocoa, bit of light caramel and a little roasty. Hardly any bitterness. Lingering light milk chocolate aftertaste. Nice beer but seems to cross into porter/stout-land flavor-wise.

Dec 20, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a nice deep dark brown with woody hints and a nice fluffy tan head- good lace. Aroma is nutty, thick sweet toasted malts and even some moderate smokiness. Rich smooth chocolate and nutty malt flavor, toasted munich malts, more smoke, caramel and light molasses- lot sof complex sweetness and drying toasty finish. Rediculously smooth. This is a great doppelbock.
