Jul 17, 2007 Poured a deep reddish-brown with a tan head which had minimal lacing. Aroma was a wicked mix of smoke, roasted coffee, and bread. Flavor was similar but was complemented by a subtle nuttiness in the dry finish. Certainly a creamy finish.

Oct 30, 2008 Swingtop bottle
Deciding to open something new I found this in the cellar. Popping it open I was greeted with an interesting take on a doppelbock. This was a great beer to try though I don’t think I’ll be picking up another one unless I run across it on clearance somewhere on a road trip.
Aroma / Appearance - A half finger dirty white head swirled fluidly around the tulip glass. The smell of musty books, cherry pits, wet earth and black coffee were the whole of the experience. A little weaker than expected I thought it would have just a bit more richness.
Flavor / Palate - Creamy with a dry bitterness the coffee start yields to light smoke and hazel. Afterwards come a malty finish. Light on the tongue for the style I feel that could have been just a bit thicker. Nonetheless it was a nice drink for a cool fall evening.

Aug 7, 2005 1 liter bottle thanks to Swededog. Dark brown color with a small tan head. Mild roasted malt aroma with some dark fruits and yeast. Flavor of dark malts, dried fruits and freshly baked pumpernickle bread. Very smooth and creamy palate with the alcohol extremely well hidden.

Apr 17, 2006 2004 Bottle. Poured a ruby color with a light tan head that leaves excellent lacing. The aroma was sweet chocolate with some roastiness. The flavor found roasty, dark fruits, and chocolate. Medium bodied and easy going. Very enjoyable. Thanks to Springslicker for sharing this at the Tennessee Tasting!
