Sep 3, 2007 Been waiting to try this one for a while, at $8.99. Very dark brown, aroma of roasted malts, alcohol. Flavor is lightly sweet/nutty, with malt as the main player here. A little alcohol sting afterwards, but very little. Much thinner bodied than I expected, doppelbocks of this caliber are available for much less $.

Sep 2, 2007 (Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Kramer17801. Hazy, orangey brown with a small, rough, off-white head. Aroma of burned caramel. Rather full body with plenty of roasted malt, burned caramel, lots of fruit and a fairly bitter finish - a lot more bitter than a German Doppelbock. 310807

Sep 1, 2007 RB# 1400: 50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a lacing light brown head. Malty nose with a minor but distinct apple/citrus fruitiness. Heavy flavour of roasted malt and a slight herbal note, clearly lifted by alcohol without becoming dominant at all. Bitter and still malty in the finish.

Aug 31, 2007 Dark brown color. Some sweet caramel aroma and flavor; good body strength; too much alcoholic, too simple.

Aug 26, 2007 A very solid beer, but not really my style of dopplebock. Very chocolate and roasted, which is very nice, but I was expecting something more along the lines of Celebrator. The slightly sour, tannic finish was nice with the roasted body of the beer, but it did not earn that many style points from me.

Aug 25, 2007 pours rich mahogany with thin khaki head. aroma is burnt caramel, dark fruit, chocolate, booze and sweet toffee. taste is somewhat roasty caramel, toffee, dark fruit, and a somewhat mineral tart nature. finish is a sour mineral and roasty sweetness. good but a little thin for a doppelbock to me.
