Jan 5, 2004 3 week-old sample. Appropriately malty aroma, the expected breadiness and creamy caramel sweetness are present along with an unusual amount of roastiness for a Doppel, bringing some faint coffee and cocoa attributes. Dark mahogany color, with a lasting, fine, creamy head. Flavor begins with some malty and caramel sweetness, beyond that turning a bit more fruity and chocolatey, and with a roasty, very lightly hopped finish. Overall bitterness is quite low however, and the body is seemingly on the light side for a beer of its purported heft. Palate is smooth and lightly grainy. An interesting take, although probably not something I could consume often or in quantities greater than a single bottle. Cheers, Grant.

Jan 3, 2004 Hazy dark brown with a very creamy tan head. Lacing is excellent. Aroma is sweet and malty. Lots of chocolate and roasted malt flavors. Carbonation is very lively, eswpecially for a doppelbock. Medium-full body and very chewy. Pretty nice beer overall.

Dec 16, 2003 A thinnish doppelbock; actually I don't know how they got it up to 8% without the concomitant flavor! Everything you expect in a doppelbock is there, just in lesser proportion. Dates, raisins, campfire smoke, port and a sweetish, though watery finish.

Nov 27, 2003 Pours a pleasant ruby brown, with a suprisingly subdued malt aroma. Taste is sweet and somewhat flat, with a mild and nice hop finish. Dark malt notes begin to show through as the beer warms. Not one you could drink a lot of, as it quickly becomes cloying.

Nov 17, 2003 Dark, dense, mahogany appearance, thcik head of foam. Sweet, striking dark fruit aroma, freshly baked, malty. Strong fruitcake palate, burnt raisins, sherry-like touches. Pretty sweet and creamy at first, drying out well in the finish.

Nov 5, 2003 A very different take on this style and not something that I would really choose to drink again. A dark amber-dark brown pour, medium-bodied, with a bit of an alchohol aroma. The taste is slightly unbalanced, and one-sided. A very present alchohol taste that is very cloying. Overall unfinishable.

May 28, 2003 Very nice dark color,tall light tan head that had some lasting power.Dar roasted sweet malt aroma hints of coffee,toffee and dark semi-sweet chocolate.mildly sweet taste,very malty mildly hopped with a some what full feel in the mouth that fades to leave you with a coffee,chocolate after taste with the malt slipping in towards the very end.A very fine brew i just wish i had bought more,because i think this might be a little rounder in the flavor if i had let it warm up just a bit more.Impatient drinker.
