Oct 11, 2006 Hazy reddish/brown in color with a small short-lasting pale tan head. Aroma is spice and roasted malt. Sweet brown sugar and molassas taste with a peppery hop bitterness. Texture is rather thin and watery nevertheless. Not bad, but no doppelbock. As I’ve said before, New Holland products though good are over-rated and over-priced.

Oct 3, 2006 Pours a dark yet mostly clear honey-tinted mahogany with a small, tan head fizzing away quickly. By the aroma I would not guess this a doppel, with juicy, citrus hoppiness dominating dusty strains of chocolate and caramel. The taste finds a sweet malted body interacting with the fruitiness, but the flavors are cut thin... as if somebody dropped in a couple of ice cubes and a splash of vodka. I’m thinking about taking back a comment I made in a recent review that "If it’s got a goat, it’s gotta be good." <font size=-4>22 oz. bomber from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/frankf Liquors, Frankfort, IL 60423</font>

Sep 24, 2006 Light brown leather color. Fairly strong bitter nose. Hoppy with a distinct malt characteristic. Sweet. Sticky throughout. A kind of rice, rye, wheat flavor combination throughout. A long finish that has a sweet coffee flavor. Interesting, I’d probably have this one again.

Sep 11, 2006 Deep, dark crimson hued, under a tight, ring of cocoa-tinged foam...looks nice..
Caramelly nose, toffeeish, too, sweet and luscious. Nice, again.
Taste: A bit blunt. No, I meant bland. Sweet, and fruity. Dark, malty, thick toffee...a bit flat, this one, though. Nice body, fairly full, but lacking a certain zing. Tasty, but doesn’t feel like a true doppelbock. Close, though.
Not bad, I did say "yummy, yum", right? If not, here you go..."yummy, yum"...but needs more, sorry to say. Just not really grabbing me.
Although, it grows on ya...really does...
