| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Jun 10, 2006 This beer is scary.
The bartenders are nice enough to warn you about the alcohol content of this beer. The reason they do so is because if you have 4 or 5 of these beers (served in a glass that is smaller than a pint) you will find yourself on the floor.
Great flavor. Very smooth for a doppel bock. Not hoppy at all. Finishes clean.
Beware, though. This will knock you on your rear end.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 9, 2006 Tap at brewery and served in a 10.5 ounce glass: Clean deep amber hue with a small lasting head but very good lace. The aroma has notes of apple, pear, caramel, toffee, grassy and aromatic hops, and an earthy yeast ester. The taste starts with a nice sweet malt base but not cloying, fruity with a hint of rose hips and clove as well. A finishing notes of German hops (Saaz perhaps?) which led to a lingering biscuity finish. The mouth feel is smooth and does not display any note of alcohol, very quaffable, almost too easy to drink! A nice classic dopple IMO, yummy! Very well done Sam. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2006 Draft at the brewery. Poured dark amber with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate balanced malty and sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This is the standout beer of the beers tasted. Cornfield (4963), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2007 Nice looking brew, a slightly hazed chestnut body with red highlights and a bubbly off-white head. The aroma has sweet toasted malts, dark caramel, and a hint of smoke and dark fruits. The alcohol is detectable in the flavor but is just enough to blend in nicely with all of the flavors reflected in the nose. Good stuff.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 4, 2008 Dark roasted malt sweetness...caramel, dark fruits, and a touch of smoke. Very prominent ABV steps out of the shadows to tune you up a bit in the finish, but you probably had it coming to you.
