| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2008 On tap @ 1702 - Pours a clear golden color with a small off white. Nice layered lacing. Aroma and flavor was mostly bitter hops. Maybe with a little more time the malt will come around. Medium body. At this point, I wouldn’t call this beer a Doppelbock. Still, worth a try if it shows up at your local beer bar. dkachur (2409), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Served on draft at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Lighter color than expected. Golden amber with nearly no head. Aroma is roasted malts and spicy hops. Resiny hops in the taste with wheat and banana notes. Full bodied. kkearn (1010), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Draft, at Blind Tiger (NYC) 8/30/08. I showed up at the Blind Tiger a few days after a Sierra Nevada event, and was happy to find that a few rarities were still on tap. Pours amber, with a slightly ruby hue, capped with a moderate sized off-white head. Big malty aroma, with bready notes, caramel, and alcohol. Flavor is a bit too sweet, with caramel malt, dark fruit, alcohol, and mild hops. Syrupy mouthfeel. ucusty (1900), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2008 Dark clear amber pour with a thin head. Bready aroma. Loads of caramel malts and slightly yeasty. Notable hints of pepper. Bitter alcoholic finish. Aurelius (2652), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 2, 2008 This is very bitter and boozy. A jazz fusion beer - done to impress the fellow craftsmen out there, but not a tune you come away whistling. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Draught at Cole’s. Clear amber, hardly any head. Mild bready aroma is a little sweet but not bad. Strong feel to it. Very bocky character. Decent but alcohol is overpowering the flavors and it tastes immature. Strange bitterness in the finish, is disjointed. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Tap @ TFD: Clear copper pour with a large beige head. Nice lacing. Mild malty and sweet aroma, pretty dainty. Tastes malty with caramel and a bit of dark fruit. A little hoppy zing in the tail. Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 30, 2008 Bright golden-amber colour. Toasty, deep earthy caramel nose. Rich bitterness. Toasty, lots of flavour, late alcohol. But it’s really messy, not bocky. Like the name I supposed but why would I want to drink that?
