| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 2, 2006 Updated: Jun 3, 2006(22oz bottle) Crystal clear amber body with big beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, plum, chocolate, caramel, light nut. Taste is the same, with an alcohol warming in the finish. Smooth medium-full body that holds the alcohol well -- its origins as a Maibock are evident in the mouthfeel. Regardless of its style, however, it’s wonderful. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 30, 2006 (Regardless of its increasing popularity, I like the goat-homage to Celebrator!) Deep amber sans cloudiness with a small, cream-colored head that faded quickly. Milky & floral aroma with grape juice. Thick & warming with alcohol notes up front. Full flavor touches on all components... malts, yeasts and hops wth a juicy/fruity breadiness being the dominant flavor. Citric hops linger with a hint of pepper. Very good!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2006 Thanks to Dough77 for sending this one.
Starts out with a large creamy head of light brown that sits above a dark amber body.
Good malty aroma that is followed by a big malty flavor.
There was a spicy bite in the finish that puzzled me until I read the label and saw the peppercorns listed as an ingredient. I don’t know how peppercorns fit into the standard Doppelbock as an ingredient, but they get away with it this time. Nice beer. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA
