Nice. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Jun 9, 2007 Thanks to dickinsonbeer for sharing this bottle. 750 swing top. I think this was about 2 years old. Very, very dark brown, almost black in color. Small tan head. I got alot of fruit in the aroma, raisin, with chocolate and caramel. Malts somewhat oxidized but in a good way. Taste is full bodied, with chocolate, dark fruits, specifically raisins/plums, with a smooth chocolately finish. Great doppelbock.

Bitter chocolate aroma and heavy malt. Black appearance with a large head. Full and creamy palate. The taste is straight bakers chocolate, and heavy malts. This is a big beer for sure. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA May 25, 2007 Bottle from Capones. Thanks Stegosaurus. Sampled with Dennis Bell. I don’t think it lives up to it’s 3.9 avg rating. Celebrator is so much better. This was good but a little thin in body and not much charecteristic. It just didn’t wow me ! rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA May 24, 2007 Bottled 2006. Light grainy aroma with hints of yeast. Dark amber/brown color with a medium brown head. Taste is not as strong as the aroma. Creamy and sweet finish. tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 24, 2007 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, biegaman, and blankboy, courtesy of beigaman. Aroma is quite mild - some roast. Dark brown, no head. Good taste - roast, sweetness, and some hops. Thin, a little sourness in finish. Only ok. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA May 24, 2007 Pours a deep chestnut colour with a micro-bubble tan head that fades at a modest pace. On the nose there is distict grahm cracker notes, along with some nuts and licorice and dates. The flavour is immediately bitter with intense berry, molases, raisin, chocolate and roasted malt gracing the tongue directly after the initail bitterness. The finish is long and palate is insanely full. This is like desert in a glass, absolutely incredible.
