| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2004 12oz Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber color with no head. Aroma is strong of malt and rye bread with caramel notes. Body is slick and slightly syrupy with low carbonation. Slight alcoholic finish with warming sensation. Alcohol well hidden from flavor. Slightly bitter and quite dry. Flavor is a bit weak but has signature Doppelbock qualities. Malt, caramel and slight sweetness. Overall not as big a beer I thought it might be but still enjoyable. Alcohol creeps up on you. flutetokill (515), Fresno, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 15, 2004 Dark mahogany color with a medium off-white head. Nice raisin, toasted malt and wood aroma. Nutmeg, raisin, wood and alcohol flavors. Lightly crisp, fairly thin feel. loweredsixth (942), Fresno, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 15, 2004 Deep ruby color with a medium beige head. The aroma was not as strong as I hoped...wood, spice (nutmeg?) and alcohol. The flavor was nice a toasty, roasted grain, spice (again nutmeg), cherries, wood, and alcohol. The feel was mildly crisp, and slightly thin. Thanks footbalm. jeffin7 (610), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Sep 9, 2004 Pours transparent dark red. Aroma is sweet dough, raisins, and alcohol. Flavor is cola, raisins, dough, a little chocolate, with a balanced bitterness in the finish. The only small gripe about this overwise excellent beer is the thin palate.

Appearance: beautiful brown body, reddish at sides, with a nice, thick, long-lasting tannish head.
Aroma: oh, God! Yeah! Full, deep, sweet, yet dark, with fruity notes, like grape, dates..quite a shocker, a delirious deliverence of intense aromatics!
Taste: Full-bodied...MMMM! Magnificent! I’ve got the bock on the tongue now, just waiting for the "eis" to come on board..oh, yeah! Big, and full, and fierce! Bing, bang, BOOM, it’s a powerhouse, not just in booziness, but unrelenting flavor! Wonderful nuttiness shows up, too, it’s really a complex and thoroughly tasty, totally rewarding monster.
The above was pieced together from notes taken in late August, and I have to trust my drunken jottings on this. Any additional donations of this unique treat will be most welcomed!
