| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 5, 2008 Good malt flavor, indicitive of a bock. Caramel and toasty notes are present also. I might like to see the hop profile be a little more pronounced, just for balance. Overall, a pretty good beer. michael-pollack (2753), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 18, 2008 this was a nice diversion on a crummy rainy Sunday. Throughly enjoyed and might go back for more. donteatpoop (125), Youngstown, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | May 15, 2008 Deep amber in color with a tan head. The smell was very sweet, strong hints of the caramel I was about to taste. The caramel malt was a bit strong, almost over powering. There were other flavors in here, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what because all I could taste was the caramel. Very sweet. It was also a bit thick in the mouth, almost syrupy; but my tastebuds may have just been in shock. This was entirely too rich for my tastes; it seemed that the brewers got too involved with making it sweet and pleasing to olfactoral senses and forgot about making pleasant to taste. I won’t be buying this one again.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | May 15, 2008 Darker iced tea colr without a haze. Strong and rather sweet candy aroma. A stronger beer once it hits the palate. Extinguished campfire remains and perhaps a hint of mild whiskey. A little unrefined but you may like it that way. Gets to be rather rude near the bottom of the bottle. Finish is lingering coat of cough medicine. A little too much for the taste buds of this lager lover. Of course, this does not stand up to the refined doppels I’ve had from the old country.
