| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 1, 2004 Light sweet malt, some grains evident in the middle. A tad thin for a doppelbock. Carbonation level was a little too high, and finish was astrigent. SubstanceT (1090), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA

Lots of malts with some caramel in the nose. The taste is very bitter and almost gross. antisnobJP (275), St. Michael, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2003 Sweet malt aroma with a citrusy hop note subdued in the background. Sweet malt flavor, fairly complex with some fruity flavors, hop flavor noticeable in background. Virtually no head on this beer. Finishes slightly sweet with a slight alcohol note warming the chest. Decent lingering aftertaste. Probably a thinner mouthfeel than expected for the style, but is very easy drinking. Good beer to kick back and sip away at in the dead of winter. beermatrix (1497), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 15, 2003 Color is a dark amber glow with a huge foamy tan head thats nearly three fingers high. Has a nice sweet bread-like malt like cookie dough and has some bright hops, very fresh. Taste is a fairly sweet and somewhat chewy malt, thin syrupy feel with a nice underlying of hop dryness. Feel is mediumd bodied, fresh and clean, slightly syrupy and very smooth. This is one drinkable beer, goes down smooth and has a good, golden fresh flavor thats just great and goes down with ease.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2003 Sweet, malty aroma, toffeeish, with a touch of pecan and a floral, fruity undercurrent. Medium-dark amber color, very slight head with plenty of visible effervescence. Sweet and lightly syrupy malt flavor, some caramel and toffee with an estery, lightly spiced and gently alcoholic finish. Medium-full bodied, palate is just a little thinner than your standard Doppel, but this helps the drinkability. Respectable. Sturgess (173), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2003 This has a terribly nice aroma and a fantastic blend of Germanic spicy hops and sweet, clean malt. The flavor is rather sweet, not a ton of depth or complexity, but extremely tasty. I really like this a lot. Thanks a lot, Slikwily.
