Jul 3, 2009 The aroma is sweet and malty with caramel, toffee, dark fruit, hops, and grain husks. The appearance is deep amber with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma but better. The palate is smooth. Overall a really nice beer.

Jun 30, 2009 12 ounce bottle - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, deep, garnet-hued body with a lavish, large, off-white head.
Smell: Highly toasted bread crusts with some sugary, sweetish qualities about it. Faint earthy, leafy hop notes. Some pitted dates as well.
Taste: Darkly toasted, bready Munich maltiness gently coated with a full helping of sweet, dark Dutch stroop. Fruitiness coming across as a taste of candied dates. A mildly earthy, leafy hop character and bitterness. Teeny bit of honey butter and maybe a pinch of cocoa mix. Very minor hint of alcohol on the tail end. Finishes smooth but rather sweet.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slightly sticky mouthfeel.
Drinkability: True, it’s a bit sweet, a bit simplistic, but it’s by no means a bad beer and certainly one of the better brews to roll out of the Spoetzl Brewery.

Jun 24, 2009 Sampled a six-pack in South Texas while on a fishing trip to Baffin Bay with my pops. Perhaps the best offering from the Spoetzl brewery. Pours clear deep brown with minimal beige fizz. Aroma is weak toffee and spice with toasted malt. Flavor follows same suit with a typical doppelbock profile of brown sugar, caramel malts and lightly spiced hops in the finish. Medium-bodied, easy to drink. Not too damn bad at all.

Jun 23, 2009 Updated: Jul 3, 2009pours to a dark copper body, very clear with aroma of caramel . the body is light but is more in the doppelbock style and a bit carbonated for a high alc beer, not bad but it’s not as balanced as the bell’s doppel or sam, overall, it’s a slightly better than average.

Jun 19, 2009 The pour was clear copper, thin looking for a doppelbock. An off-white head appeared and offered thin wisps of lacing. The aroma was toasted, caramel malts and some slight sourness at the end. The flavor was of a light doppelbock up front with lots of caramel malt sweetness that quickly gave way to a sour metallic flavor on the backside. The mouthfeel was thin.

Jun 19, 2009 Although I’ve had better dopplebocks, this is not that bad. Aroma has some nice notes of roasted malt, caramel and a touch of hops. Flavor is a good balance of sweet toffee, biscuit and hops.
