| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 20, 2004 Brewtopia ’04. Poured amber with a smallish head. Something about this stuff I really didn’t care for. Maybe the high alcohol wasn’t masked very nicely. Taste was all alcohol up front followed with roasted chocolate and sweet, sticky malt. Not my cup ’o tea. argo0 (7025), Washington DC, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2004 (Brewtopia04) Sparkling copper body with virtually no head. Aroma is sweet, fruity (cherry, orange, some grape), sticky caramel. Taste is rich, sweet, cherry, some grapefruit, light orange, herbal. Finish is medium alcohol burn. Full body.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Apr 24, 2004 Pours a clear dark brown, with a small tan head. Aroma is faint and sweet. Creamy feel. Taste is very malty, with just a hint of hops. Finish has a hint of sourness. Alcohol is very detectable. An adequate entry into the lacking dopplebock ranks, but certainly not an Ayinger.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2004 Clear chestnut with a thin, off-white head. A simple, subtle aroma that leans toward the high-malt profile. Caramel, nuts, chocolate, raisins, thick malt and little else. Smooth, creamy body the feels quite supple on the tongue. The flavors are pleasant and slightly sweet, though leave a little to be desired. Good, but certainly not great. irishsnake (353), Oakland, California, USA
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Apr 10, 2004 Ugh. normally I wouldn't rate a beer that is this off, but it was served to me at the brewery, so maybe they think that this is how it is supposed to taste. It is obnoxiously infested with diacetyl, giving it the flavor of butterscotch lifesaver. the only reason it gets any points is that there are hints of a good beer underneath.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2004 Pours a clear mahogany with a very minute whitea head--0.5cm at best. Aroma is malty, smokey with some caramel/chocolate. Start and middle are very smokey and dominated by maltiness. Finish is sweet chocolate, like a sweet stout. Palate is good. I enjoyed this beer very much. Lubiere (4552), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

August 26,2006 at Greene’s Tavern. Reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. Sweet malt aroma with notes of prunes with alcohol warmth. In mouth, a smooth light chocolate with bananas, lightly nutty, and warming alcohol. 7-3-8-3-14 mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Feb 26, 2004 Enjoyable brew. Yummy.
Malty. Deep reddish orange in color. Matly aroma with hints of fruit. The alcohol blends well in the beer. Not noticable. Really good.
