Mar 9, 2008 Pours dark brown with a minimal head. Strong aroma of caramel, nuts, and toffee. Smells absolutely delicious. Taste of toffee and caramel, gently rolling to a lasting bitter finish. Very thick mouthfeel. This is a fantastic beer!

Jul 11, 2009 This beer is delicious and worth way more than the $1 I paid to get one. Anyway, in the glass this brew looks like chocolate syrup, just foamier. The aroma smacks of malts and coffee. The taste - which is vicious and sweet - is all chocolate and coffee. On the swallow it is not as heavy as you might anticipate, in fact, quite smooth. As I said before: delicious.

Nov 26, 2006 Bottle_Wow! the noise it makes when you first open it did it for me. Poured a thick, lovely dark black with a creamy looking dark khaki brown head. Taste, and looks very similar to a stout . Hints of coffee, vanilla, butterscotch, and toasted bread. Not much hops in this beer which worked out well for me. The rich smell of smoked wood tends to fade away and come back, the lacing as well. Great beer for the style.

Dec 24, 2006 The elegant thick licoriche-like mouthfeel makes this dark malty gem a pleasurable experience. This one combines its roasted qualities with sweetness and there isn’t too much in the bitter hop department here. This one is like candy in a bottle but well balanced and not overdone or saccharine.

Aug 17, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a small light tan head. Big, thick caramel aroma, dakr sweet malts, and mild dark fruits. Some oatmeal raisin cookie really comes to mind, maybe a little molasses. Great aroma. The flavor was much the same, although the dark fruit really showed its face in the flavor. The caramel, and oatmeal were there too, but more in the finish and background. The aftertaste was rich, and fruity. Really nicely balanced brew. Awesome.

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.

Jul 14, 2006 Thanks to jjpm74 for the trade (1 L bottle). Nose is roasty, spicy malts; transparent dark brown with a small tan head; coffee and malt dominate the flavor with a small smoky accent, and a note of dark fruit, and a hint of hop bitterness in the finish along with a little alcohol.
