Dec 3, 2005 Bottle. Creamy chocolate/molasses malt aroma with moderate astrigency. Cloudy orange brown color with small head. Sweet molasses and port/sherry flavor - mild astringency to the finish. Much more sherry flavor and less astringent tartness than the German doppelbocks I’ve tried.

Nov 29, 2005 Bottle with "best by" notch of Dec-03, tasted 11/25/2005 but I think it’ll be enjoyable. Pours deepbrown with ruby highlights. Fizzy, but with no head. Smell of molasses and brown sugar. Taste has molasses to it, too. So it’s sugary, and there are bits of sherry, too, with a note of plum. With this much sweetness, it’s hard to distinguish any hops. I seem to keep picking up over-aged doppelbocks, but at least I like how they turn out.

Nov 27, 2005 Dark red body with a fleeting head. The aroma is malty with a definite kick of alcohol on the top. The flavor reminds me a bit of a molasses cookie but there’s something peppery (probably the alcohol). Really not a bad doppelbock at all. I kind of like it.

Nov 3, 2005 The aroma is malty with a winelike hint. In addition the aroma is somewhat off. The color is a murky brown with a small off white head. The taste is a tart sweetness and the finish is sour. There is some carbonation but not much.

Oct 28, 2005 Definitely sweet, may be better with the right meal. Don’t think I’d care for many of these in one sitting.
This one I have to nickname Barks though because of the bite.
