Nov 10, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Light brown with red highlights and a decent sized light tan head. Good head retention and okay lacing.
Aroma: Malty nose with notes of caramel, nuts, alcohol, and a bit of dark fruit.
Flavor: Caramel, sweet malt, a bit of date or fig, alcohol, and a bit of a English sourness to it.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a medium-long, sweet finish.
Overall: Certainly more sessionable than I find most dopplebocks, but also lacking some of the complexity and depth. Take it or leave it.

Oct 29, 2009 Hazy amber with a large beige head, spots of lace. Aroma of caramel and alcohol with a cidery edge. Full of malt flavor, caramel, bread, fig, apple cider, cream soda. The sweet caramel lingers the longest into the finish. Not much harmony, alcohol and apples come off a bit harsh. Medium to full body; bright, warming palate.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. A really fine beer. Compared this one and the Oaked Butt Head Bock at the same time. Oak was better, but not by much. May want the regular kind when drinking several. Oak might be a bit overpowering. Highly recommended.

Oct 27, 2009 Pours light brown with a medium-thick tan head. Aroma is caramel and nuts. Wow, taste is a lot better than I was expecting, much fuller mouthfeel...didn’t realize the 8.2% ABV until after the first taste. Pleasantly surprised, rich caramel w/ notes of chocolate, nuts and maybe a little dark cherry. Also some alcohol...moderate bitter hops on the finish. Texture lacks some creaminess and the aftertaste is a little funky, but otherwise a very good dopplebock. Easily the best from Tommy Knocker that I’ve tasted.
