May 26, 2008 750 ml bottle from 07. Poured a brown gold. Definitely a whiskey type nose. The flavor had a malty sweetness, with a somewhat thin mouthful, but on the delicious side. Light carbonation makes it flow down your throat nicely and makes it easy to swallow despite the alcohol strength. The alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering or biting.

May 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark red with a thin beige head. Heavy fruity aroma with cherry, raisin, apricot and just a touch of alcohol. Flavor brings more of a plum and fig character, still with raisin and a touch of cherry. Alcohol is hardly detectable in the taste. Very nice.

May 18, 2008 2006 bottle. Poured thick, syrupy and clear, with no real hint of a head. Sweet, with very little hint of the alcohol. I sipped this for some time with a friend, made for a pleasant evening.

May 16, 2008 ’06 bottle. pours a brilliant red with zero head... the aroma is full of alcohol and fruits. Extremely smooth over the palate ... lots of stuff going on ... apples, sweet malts, alcohol, dark fruits and syrup. The alcohol kicks in on the finish with a bit of a burn.... but is very pleasant. This beer is a pleasure to drink and is a sipper. I don’t really see it being a Doppelbock - more like a strong ale. Reminds me of Dogfish 120 min or Avery’s Samael’s.... very good indeed.

May 16, 2008 2005 vintage. I have another one of these still in the cellar. I can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. Woohoo, another >10% rating. Pours cold with no head. Aroma leaves much to be desired. Somewhat malty, and somewhat vegetal, a hint of apple and a hint of alcohol. Sweet. alcohol very noticable, especially as it burns the throat going down. The alcohol amplifies the aroma, which unfortunately isn’t that great. Low drinkability. Some raisin the aroma. Kind of reminds me a cheap white wine. Yuck.
