Feb 1, 2005 1L bottle from 2004: Beer pours fairly dark mahogeny color with a thick creamy tan colored head that is very well retained. The aroma is a bit benign and a bit disappointing. The flavor on the other hand comes through with a bit of a one dimensionally delicous choclatiness that has a bit of raostiness to save it from simplicity. Nice full mouthfeel with enjoyable carbonation and a lush, velvety feel. Could have been great is the aroma was there.

Apr 4, 2004 Updated: Aug 4, 2008Pours dark brown and the aroma is spicy, with a bit of roasted malt. The taste is initially sweet, but it turns a bit bitter. Not as heavy as I expected, but very rich and complex.

Aug 7, 2005 08.06.05 1L brown swingtop. Medium brown with beige head. Nice oatmeal nose with raisins and bananas and cream. Soft bodied and lithe on the palate, more eff than expected from a doppelbock. Nutty. Yum--whole grain banana bread. Finishes very dry and a bit yeasty/doughy. Thanks to someone, I think Joe or Jim, for this treat.

Apr 10, 2006 Tap at David Copperfields. Black beer with garnet highlights and a thick tan head. Very toasty brown sugar aroma. Very clean, malty, coffeeish with dark chocolate notes as well. Falvour is good and toasty, chocolate, coffee, light roastiness. Lingering dark malt sweetness. Slightly chewy and thick with a lingering sweet toast and chocolate flavour.

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.
