| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours like syrup into the glass. Brown, nutty color that is thick and creates a thick foamy off white head. Nose is very nutty, lacking sweetness, but a nice toasty malt note is to be had. Palate is less syrupy then the pour and provides a nice fizz and dry finish. Flavors are toasty malts with a nice nutty flavor and a clean dry finish. NayTron (37), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA

Lots of fruit on the nose, very sweet and fruity on the tongue, If a bit muted. Quite a bit of carbonation. A solid doppel, but there are better examples of the style out there. Love the artwork though. Classic!
