| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2003 Decent light reddish brown color and light tan head, along with a big powerful malty/spicy aroma start this brew. Flavor is also very pronounced, with a strong, very far back on the tongue aftertaste. Nice doppel! CaptainCougar (5520), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 3, 2003 Medium copper color and a thin head. Sweet caramel malty aroma. Metallic off-flavors are present as well as an unbalanced body and a sticky sweet finish. I love doppelbocks, but this wasn't up to par. gsmitty80 (646), Washington DC, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 27, 2003 This is my first experiance with a doppelbock soo i dont have much to compare it with. As a beer its not bad but nothing spectacular. The flavours aremt very aparent and tastes like a bunch of malt. Murph06 (121), Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 27, 2003 Quite average of the style---but weak carbonation. The "long finish" described in description from brewer is spot-on though. Needs more malting for my taste. Being an inexpensive beer can be used for an excuse---this time.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 29, 2003 Weak head, poor lace. Color is a nice dark amber. Kind of a skunky hoppy flavor to it. Malt is not really noticable and it is not sweet. High alcohol is not noticed until you've had one or two. Quite a kick! Aftertaste is not what I'm looking for and makes this hard to handle after a couple. But by that time you've had enough of the alcohold to deaden the senses. Crash (449), Macomb, Illinois, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 22, 2003 (bottle) Pours a reddish-brown with a creamy head. Crystal clear. Immediate & long-lasting sweet malty taste with a slight amount of hopping that kicks in after a second or two. This is probably the easiest doppelbock to put away quickly that I've ever experienced. No clue that the alcohol content is so high until it's too late--very well masked. POW! Who just hit me between the eyes with a mallet? This holds its own with almost any of the more expensive doppelbocks, imported or domestic... pauliefrog99 (302), FLINT, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2003 Amber color. Virtually no head on the pour. Has a malty aroma. Alittle bit to thin and watery for this style. Had a pretty good caramel malt and toffee taste. I couldnt taste the high alcohol in this.
