May 25, 2007 Bottle from Capones. Thanks Stegosaurus. Sampled with Dennis Bell. I don’t think it lives up to it’s 3.9 avg rating. Celebrator is so much better. This was good but a little thin in body and not much charecteristic. It just didn’t wow me !

Mar 3, 2007 Weird taste of tarragon and dill, this is one of the more unusual bocks I have tried. It certainly has its roasty malty moments, but I will remember it for its pot-roast spices.

Mar 16, 2009 From Cletus via trade. Pour was dark brown with ruby highlights and a short off-white head that didn’t produce lacing. Aroma and flavor were sour. Bottle was infected. Will need to get another bottle and try this again.

Sep 19, 2008 (Bottle). Roasty, fruity aroma. Garnet red in color with a thick light tan head. Sweet and roasty malt flavor, also some fruit. (I don’t get any chocolate.) The finish is substantial, somewhat bitter. Overall, there’s balance and lots of complexity, definitely letting you know you are drinking a serious and quality brew.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle aquired through trade with cletus. Thanks John! Pours brown with a small tan head. Aroma of dough, toffee, booze, scotch, mold, dirt. Flavor is chocolate, doughy malts, roast, scotch. Nice! Really nice beer. Some weird doughy esters in teh aroma but the flavor was exceptional. Great beer!

Oct 17, 2009 500 ml swingtop bottle courtesy of cletus. Thanks John. Pours an opaque brown color with a small tan head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is distinct with prunes, cola, and dark roasted malts. The flavor is similar with plenty of molasses supported by dark fruits, cola and roasted malts. The palate was slightly oily with very soft carbonation. The finish was long with strong molasses lingering. Overall: I loved the taste of this dopplebock, but the oily mouthfeel was a bit of a distraction.

Dec 28, 2006 Thanks to warriorsoul for this 1 Liter fliptop...
2005 edition
Appears a dark mahogany, bordering black with a 1 finger, creamy tan head. Lots of streaky lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of roasted nuts, toffee, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, and cocoa.
Taste is of the same aromas but perhaps toned down slightly from the anticipated goodness that was expected. It’s good but not the best of the style by a long shot.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly astringent, along with moderate smoothness, cream, and sugar.
I’ll be sure to check out this years version soon enough.

Jul 24, 2004 Poured from bottle at VT Brewers Fest - Poured a dark red color with a light tan head. Aroma was of malt dark fruit. Flavor was complex mix of heavy malt, fruit, vanilla and some smokiness. Finish was slightly sweet with some hop bitterness. Very nice!
