Sep 29, 2008 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Copper color with a thin tan head. Aroma is rather hoppy with hints of sweet malts and some citrus. Flavor is very bitter with a very light touch of sweetness that disappears. Too bitter for my taste and for a doppelbock.

Sep 27, 2008 draft at papago... pours a clear brownish copper. it’s topped by an off white head which leaves behind pillowy rings of lace. smells really hoppy... pnw, grapefruit, pine, caramel, golden raisins and a spicy burn. most of the flavor... cooked cream, raisin-y fruitiness, caramel-y maltiness, honey, florals and citrus pith is hidden behind a curtain of hops. spicy/peppery dry finish with a boozy note coming in as it warms. medium body, spicy dry mouth feel. call me crazy..() this is an ipa gone wrong? i like pushing boundaries but this shows very little style characters to begin with. although, not a bad beer... just confused.

Sep 23, 2008 Draft at Brouwers.
Fruity aroma, rotten peaches. Hot, thick, sticky, and metallic, what’s to like about this alcohol syrup? I’m surprised to see such a dog coming from Sierra Nevada.

Sep 22, 2008 Draft at Brewgrass. Deep amber/brown pour. Yellowish off-white bubbly head. Well, they called it, I guess, with the name. Perhaps that’s a bit harsh; this wasn’t quite a debacle, but it wasn’t my cup of tea (or my pint of beer). Very very sweet and too hoppy (not to mention the alcohol), which made for a combination that was too harsh for me. I expect some deep malt in a doppelbock, and my palate was fighting too hard against the other flavors and gave up. A disappointing beer from SN.

Sep 22, 2008 Clear brown, thin beige head. Smells like toast, and maybe a hint if chocolate, I guess. Flavor is, well a little on the bland side, with some smooth malts and a subtle hop bite at the end.

Sep 22, 2008 pint @ Thirsty Monk. Good aroma, sweet. Nutty, honey, little fruity. Clean brownish orange color, good head & lace. Bitter sweet flavor, malty. Caramel, nutty, little meaty. Tad harsh. Thin body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. eh, didn’t inspire me, aroma was the best part.
