| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Pours a really nice looking ruby red color with a thin off white head. Aroma is malt and sawdust, something very dry in there. Flavor is underwhelming to say the least. A little sweet, a little roast malt but overall, there’s not much happening here. Definitely better doppelbocks to be found.
