 sprinkle (114), Carmel(Indy), Indiana, USA
Dec 26, 2005 Deep brown in color. Light head and medium viscous fading lace. Sweet malts on the nose and can detect some age on it. Rich and almost peppery in your mouth, expansive and carmelly lingering finish that gets slightly nutty. Grains come through after about 10 seconds with some chocolaty malts.

Dec 25, 2005 Dark brown, opaque beer with a thin moka head. Sweet prunes in aroma and brown sugar. In mouth, sweet maple with nuts and prunes, llight hops in beginning, and smooth alcohol final. Rich bodied db, with alcohol warming you.
Enjoyed at YEHa!05 Christmas Party on Dec. 17th, 2005.

Dec 22, 2005 Thanks to OldGrowth for the bottle. I drank this too cold, so I didn’t get much aroma. I’ll rerate when I have more patience.... Flavor was good, similar to the other top doppelbocks, rich, malty with a slightly bitter aftertaste. I didn’t like it as much as celebrator or optimator, but it was yummy.

Dec 22, 2005 (750ml bottle) Sampled at TiggMTL’s Montreal Crew YEHa!05 Christmas Party on December 17, 2005. Finally - a Connecticut beer! Pours a thin, beige head with a deep brown body. Nose is very boozy and figs. The flavour was boozy as well with tones of coffee and brandy. Nice stuff.

Dec 20, 2005 Really dark reddish brown, with a greying head that was compact, but tapered off into an island in the center of my glass.
Very dark, roasted malt aroma, that exuded cooked plums and blackberries, but also a little plastic or rubber notes. I didn’t ask how old this was...
Plenty of chocolate and coffee, plenty of malt and a pronounced, bitter aftertaste. I enjoyed it, but something tells me this bottle wasn’t at it’s best.
