Mar 10, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pours a very deep brown that allows only a trace amount of light to pass through. Moderate to large foamy tan head that lasted through most of the glass. Light, pleasant aroma of caramel and a very slight earthy quality as well. More caramel in the flavor than in the aroma, along with a bit of toasted malt. Very slight coffee flavor slides in at the finish along with a touch of hops bitterness. Quite enjoyable.

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.

May 10, 2004 This is one hell of a large bottle.Nice dark brown color,small tan head that faded slowly and left behind a good lace.Nice aroma of malt and fruit with mild hint of hops along with maybe a faint smoky hint as well.Very nice flavor of malt with a hint of coffee maybe some chocolate light hint of caramel and mild smoke that is there but is fleeting.The hops come through very well with the alcohol being kept in check nicely,in fact very nearly unnoticeable.The after taste is malty and coffeeish with a slight hop bitterness.This is a very smooth easy drinking brew that was a total surprise.Not nearly as tough as some brews in the style can be but very balanced and well done.Thanks to Boto for sending this fine brew my way.

Jan 10, 2005 1ltr bottle shared by whaleman-pours a very deep brown hue with a dark brown head. meaty, malty, musty aroma with hints of chocolate, dark fruit and spice. Caramel, toffee, chocolate flavors. There is lots going on in this beer-too much to right down, especailly after having so many good beers at this tasting. I should re-rate this one sometime.

Jan 31, 2009 500ml - Courtesy of TheBeerSommelier. Thanks for the bottle, Matt! Dense brownish red, creamy light tan head. Cherry toast and warm caramel bread aromas ride soft waves of molasses and brown sugar. Toasty sugared grapes and dark roasted figgy prune-like flavors balance well on a soft hop undertone. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying malty finish. A very well done representation of the style...

Feb 2, 2006 Deep red-brown. Nose of chocolate and dark toffee. Flavor has lots of chocolate/cocoa backed up with a molasses sweetness. Finishes nutty and very dry, sucks the sweetness off the tongue. Incredibly rich palate, coats the mouth wonderfully and lingers a long time. Quite nice.
