| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2009 500 ml bottle thanks to my favorite Uncle, Mattie. Pours a somewhat cloudy bronze/orange color with a thick white foamy head. The aroma is nice; sweet and rich malts, light fruit and apricot. The taste is great; rich and bready malts, light alcohol, fruit and sweet honey covered biscuits. Very nice. A good example of a Teutonic brew. A very full and creamy mouthfeel. hopscotch (5537), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

Small, creamy, white head with decent retention. Fruity, malty, yeasty aroma - peach, apricot, toffee and fresh-baked bread. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Sweet, biscuity flavor up front with underlying notes of toffee, raw sugar and a hint of fuzzy fruit. Lengthy, lightly sweet finish.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 14, 2009 (500 ml bottle from Kappy’s) Pours slightly cloudy apricot with half a finger of biege head that recedes mostly to edges. Aroma of honey, hay, caramel and a hint of licorice. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, perhaps a touch pebbly and dryish. A bit thin. Very light, weepy rings of lacing. Flavor of honey, hay and caramel overlain by a lightly biting, lightly piney bitterness that contrasts nicely with the malt. A light bitter pull through the finish along with light smokiness and a hint of egg. Hints of complexity in a pretty nice doppel. This seems pretty underrated (3.3 score as I write this).
