| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2009 bottle, big thanks to Tronraner. This is the single best label for a doppelbock ever. However, even given the awesomeness of the name and picture, I approach this beer with apprehension given my disdain for the style. The pour is typical for the style, kind of dark and fairly see-through. The aroma is only slightly vegetal, and not off putting. Toast and light spices are noted. The flavor is what I feared, but it is not bad at all. Not a lot of butter or corn is present. I get actually a pleasant almost roasty quality. The finish is herbal without being bitter. This is pretty good actually. tronraner (1933), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 20, 2009 12 oz bottle, thanks to douglas88. Pours reddish mahogany with whitish head. The aroma is leaves, toast, a little bit of diacetyl, a hint of caramel. The flavor is mild caramel with some burnt-leaves toastiness. There is a mellow earthy hop profile that fades a little toward the finish. There is a touch of garlic to the aftertaste that makes it a little weird, but other than that, not too bad. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
