Aug 31, 2005 Updated: Jul 9, 2006Pours a deep mahogany brown with a nice beige head. Aroma is very malty, bready, munich, vienna, toasted malts, some chocolate and toffee, with some fruitiness as well. Flaovr is loaded with caramunich malts and some chocolate, and finished off with a little bitterness, but mostly sweet. Definitely worthy of being grouped with the best doppelbocks in the world. Its hard to say if there is a better example made in the US.

Nov 24, 2005 Dark brown and red body with a thin light brown head. The aroma was light molasses with some chocolate and whiskey. Nice nose. The taste had chocolate, light apples and roasted apple core. There was also bread and maybe a hint of cinnamon. The smooth mouthfeel was impressive. This is obviously a quality brew. I may like it even more if I get to try this one again. One of the better dopples I have tried.

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.

Nov 17, 2004 Very dark mahogny/brown with a tannish creamy head and spots of lace. Mellow aromas of caramel and roast. Raisins and spice as well, though I’m unsure of what spice I’m smelling. Wet malts with a nutty or woody touch. Some hints of chocolate, maybe. The earthy qualities come out in the flavors. Bitter hops with a strong malt backing. Bready almost. Alcohol is apparent. Bitter tail that’s tingly on the tongue. Malty, dry finish. Thanks Casey!

Oct 4, 2004 Deep brown appearance with a tan head. Spicy dark fruit and brown sugar aroma and flavor, a little bit of a bite throughout the drink. Medium-thick texture, with (I think it's the yeast) a strong, pasty stinging, spicy quality.

Apr 4, 2007 I believe Jasonmech sent me this. I’ve had it before, but I was always a bit tipsy so never rated it. Good to finally get a bottle to have to myself. 2006 flip top 500 ml.
Has a fairly strong chocolate/cocoa aroma along with a touch of caramel and dark fruit. The body is quite dark, brown but approaching black and the tan head diminishes rapidly from it’s initial thumb thick size. Very smooth and round on the first sip. Quite malty with lots of cramel fruit and some very faint X-mas-beer like spice. Finish is roasted/toasted grains and caramel sweetness. Very nice brew.
