Jun 27, 2009 Pours a great black with hints of auburn and a moderately thick tan head that slowly but surely dissipates. Very malty aroma with some hints of dark fruit and a bit of dark chocolate. This bad boy is dark! Some malt and bourbon flavors mixed with dark chocolate. An initial creamy texture turns lighter and slightly carbonated with a warm boozy finish. Quite nice.

Jun 23, 2009 Pours dark brown with creamy khaki head. Aroma is all malt. Caramel, toffee with some raisin and fig. Sweet molasses flavor with caramel and dark fruits. Slight alcohol burn. Medium to full body with moderate carbonation and a stick, syrupy mouthfeel. An excellent doppelbock.

pours copper, with mocha head.
Aroma and taste, light mouthfeel, grainy with plenty of good fruits, some sugar, malt with hints of caramel.
Found it to be rather light in body for its 8% abv.

May 29, 2009 Bottle. Dark brownish body, some red highlights, with a dark tan head and sticky lacing. Nose is of dark fruit, raisins, caramel, wheat, a slight hop influence, and spicy ginger. Lots of dark raisins and caramel flavors, burnt sticky malts, some chocolate and roast in the finish. Full-bodied, balanced very well and quite yummy. Definitely one of my top lagers.

May 16, 2009 Draught at TND: Aroma of fruit, cherries, malts, light cocoa, and light caramel. Poured black/deep ruby in color with a medium-sized, light brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of cherry, chocolate, malts, light cream, and a hint of alcohol. Full body. Viscous, sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Rich, creamy, chocolate finish is a bit sticky. I was surprisingly impressed. 8%ABV is barely noticeable.

May 12, 2009 Bottle shared by Hophead22 thanks to dogfish120love.. Poured a reddish dark brown.. Smelt of raisins and caramel. The flavor was kinda wierd for me, it was toasty and caramely at the same time..Left a wierd bitterness as well.
