Apr 7, 2005 Thank you to DYIsoccer- for bring this down to SD> I am going to rate the newsest vintage. I gave the 2004 a 7/5/8/4/17----- 2005---- Poursa cloudy brown hue with a small head. Aromas of cocoa a hint of coffee with a slight sour funk and a light bittering in the nose. Flavors of cocoa, caramel, with a mellow finish, but still seems overcloying. Very different than the 04 and should have it’s own seperate rating.

Apr 2, 2005 Updated: May 5, 2005This one was a bit different. I’m not a big fan of doppelbocks in general but this was different. Poured dark brown with a nice full tan head. It doesn’t seem like a doppelbock. It had a hoppy/fruity aroma. The flavor was much like cherry. Doppelbocks to me are meaty. This wasn’t. Fruity and a little sour. Good but not what I recall from other doppelbocks. Porterish.

Mar 19, 2005 2005 bottle. Aroma starts with a quick burst of coffee and chocolate. It’s a bit metallic, too, which was unexpected. Very dark brown with a good head and lacing. Flavor was very well balanced with roasted malts, breadiness, nuttiness and some piney hops.
The hops left the finish dry and a bit bitter, but not too much so. Pretty good.

Mar 17, 2005 2004 vintage. Full, sweet, malty aroma, plenty of caramel and chocolate along with notes of date, raisin and faintly spicy hops. Deep mahogany color with a slight, fine light tan head. Flavor profile is satisfyingly malty and full, having copious amounts of sweetness and caramel complexity, some creaminess noted as well as some dark fruitiness, breadiness, nut and mild alcohol towards the finish. Some lingering licorice and cocoa. Exceedingly smooth palate with a medium-full body. Very nice and seemingly quite authentic.
