Jmichael (529), Asheville, North Carolina, USA May 1, 2008 pours a dark cloudy brwon with full frothy head, yeast smooth malt aroma. light palate with a dry front. milk chocolate hints in finish with malty background.
teebradford (44), Senatobia, Mississippi, USA Jul 8, 2008 I think this, ayinger’s, and paulaner’s are all similar, and all great. But I can get this a lot cheaper than the other two. arventresca (116), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Jun 27, 2008 Pours brown with little head. Smell of malt. Taste is kind of nasty with sad aftertaste. HAd high hopes for this one and was sadly disapointed. durhambeer (298), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jun 25, 2008 Dark cola brown pour with relatively disappointing off white head. Should have poured more aggressively, I suppose. Aroma is like Spaten Munich but amped up... pretty distinctive malt character. Also brown sugar, caramel, some raisin notes. Palate and taste not as complex as hoped for, but very nice overall... toffee, malt, brown sugar, caramel... and many more synonyms for sweet. Seems like a good food beer, but not my fave. mgermani (553), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 25, 2008 Pours a deep ruby-red with an off-white lasting head and some lacing. Aroma is funky/sweaty sweet munich malt. Tastes lightly toasted, diacetyl, dates, nice finish. Thick body, viscous and moderately carbonated. Well executed, but not terribly exciting. Jschecter (13), USA Jun 22, 2008 One of the better Dopplebock’s I have tried, but I am not a huge fan of the style. I had a six pack when I was in Florida and had one every day for dinner for a week. It does assault your palate after a while, but has a rich color and strong taste of bitter malt.
