Dec 25, 2006 Merry Christmas to mee! Very dark brown, slight reddish hue. Nice foamy milk chocolaty brown head. Flavor of roasted malt and some light hops. Enough were used to create a perfect balance in this one! Very thick textured. Very special beer. I love it.
I was to keep this one on hand all the time!

May 5, 2005 A very dark brown body with a good head. The aroma is toasted nuts, slightly roasty malts and a touch of corn. Malty body is fairly pleasant but forgettable.

Sep 11, 2006 Thanks to Cottrell for this one, made for a great doppelbock evening against Celebrator, Andechser, Maximator, Bajuvator, and Consecrator. The appearance was dark brown amber, tan head, porter-like appearance. There was lots of candy, light fruit aromas comign from the bottle and poured glasses, just pretty, although I was anticipating something sweet and sticky based on the aroma. Flavor was strong coffee for a doppelbock, licorice, dry-ness, hops to balance it out, almost schwarzbier-like, no breadiness, some spicey hops, the hops stick around in the after aftertaste, minutes after the last sip. Dry is the mouthfeel, very well attenuated lager, firm body, but again, lager-like. Enjoyable. These guys can brew good beers, no doubt.

Jan 9, 2006 Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color beer with a huge brown foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of roasted malt with some butterscotch. The roasted caramel malt with subtle hints of banana also dominates taste. Body is above average but could have been fuller and carbonation was at the right level for the style. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall, this is a very good beer but would have appreciated a bit more complexity (more chocolate, more banana).

Jan 29, 2008 2006 bottle consumed in early 2008. Pours a very dark mahogany brown body. A small, foamy, light tan head settles quickly, leaving nothing but a small rim behind. Minimal traces of thin line lacing are scattered about the glass. The aroma shows dark and light chocolate varieties, as well as vanilla, cola, and some dry, woodsy notes. The flavor shows cocoa powder, dark chocolate, oak, and some dark fruits. Molasses and root beer come on pretty strong just prior to and during the finish. Medium bodied and well carbonated, despite it’s age. Pretty nice Doppelbock. I think my bottle might have been a little past its prime. I want to revisit this one.

Mar 26, 2007 Updated: May 12, 20071L bottle. poured dark brown with creamy tan head. nose has loads of nuts, plums, chocolate, caramel, and cookie, very nice. flavor proved similar to the nose and this was balanced perfectly. body is a tad thin, alcohol is well hidden. there really isn’t much i would change. this is the best doppelbock i’ve had so far and it caused other beer drinking friends to fight for the last drop. very well done.8/5/8/4/16................................... another sample from j_rob21. thanks. i still enjoy this beer a lot, and it tastes like no doppelbock i’ve ever had, perhaps it’s not to style but it’s too drinkable, refreshing, with wonderful mix of chocolate, nuts, and cookie to not love. i lowered overall by 1 point. man i love this beer.
