Nov 16, 2004 Updated: May 26, 2005Revisiting this beer has been a long time coming. This was the beer that sparked my doppelbock enthusiasm over three years ago from this rating when I first had it. I was a little nervous to put my fond memories to the test, but it had to be done...
Deep bronze in color with no activity anywhere else. Aroma is sweet and light - caramel and toasted malts; some peat, brewers yeast and pistachio shells. Flavor... there it is! We’ve got sweet chocolate malts here and now. Some toffee sweetness and caramel accents. Noble hopping plays a nice supporting role. Damn am I glad that this one panned out. Nice, creamy, rich and robust on the palate. This fits nicely in the company of the sweeter dark doppelbocks (Salvator, Capital Dark, etc.) Get it while you can. It took me over three years to have it again.

Sep 21, 2004 This one had the expected dark brown color that you still could see through with a minimal tan head. The aroma was a mixture of malt, a little peaty, and a little bit syrupy. The hops are subtle as expected with minimal bitterness. This is good.

Jul 6, 2003 Dark brown color with a creamy thin tan head. Sweet thick aroma bursting with caramel malt and subtle German hops. Body is thick and slightly syrupy with a thin carbonation and lots of sweet caramely malt. Some dark fruity flavor is also noticeable. A very good doppelbock and the best beer I've had from this restaurant brewery.
