Aug 13, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour is a caramel color with red highlights. Two fingers of thick, moderately dissipating tan head sit on the top of this brew. Nose is caramel, yeast, astringent, and bread. Taste is caramel, light chocolate, yeast, notes of bread, and some other oddity that is a bit metallic. This beer finishes sour/bitter and seems a bit light for the style, not to mention for the complexity of it.

Aug 4, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours about a cola brown with a small brown bag head. The aroma is all sweet crystal malt. The flavor is dusty must and sweet malts with touches of bread. It’s a bit light for the style, but you can still sense coffee and bitterness. Overall, just a bit too light.

Jul 26, 2009 Mahogany with a thin head.
Aroma is toasted malt, light fruit n’ nut.
Nice fruit raisin and some caramel in the toasted malt body. Medium sweet finish manages not to come across as too sweet.
Best tommyknocker I’ve had so far.

Jul 7, 2009 Pours a dark ruby tinted brown with a 2 finger, creamy, beige head that has decent retention. Aroma is roast, dark fruit, bready lager yeast, sweet grain, nice caramel, buttered biscuits and brown sugar heavy cookies. Flavor is caramel, roast, toasted bread, bread pudding-heavy on the raisins, grassy hops and dark fruit to the finish. Palate is too thin and dry for a doppelbock, carbonation is very fine and sharp, which doesn’t really blend well either.
