500ml bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a diminishing brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, raisins, a hint of smoke and a bit of molasses. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of dark fruit, roasty malt, some molasses and a hint of smoke with a lingering bittersweet finish.

Wow!! What can I say except this is one heck of a good tasting Dopplebock!! This beer poured a light brown to a tan medium head. Dark brown body. Some carbonation was observed. It had a dark brown body. The taste was simply excellent! It has an extremely smooth taste, no bitterness or aftertaste. Darn, this was one heck of a good drink!! More please?

Number 400! Pours a deep browned red. Nice tall tan puffy head. Nose is sweetened with malt. There's something else hiding in the nose, maybe caramel or toffee and almost a sour-ish hint. Hard for me to pick out. The taste is good. Sweet malt with a chocolate and oatmeal cookie mix. Smooth as silk finish Will look towards having this with my yearly Oktoberfest gathering.

Sweet malty, molasses like aroma with a hint of nuttiness. Little to no head on top of a beautiful nut brown body. Excellent malty flavor - just the right amount of sweetness. Alcohol is hidden extremely well - appears just a bit in the aftertaste though. Overall, an excellent dopplebock - hard to find - even where other Weihenstephaners are sold.

Roasted and nutty flavours, almost port-like character. Grassy hops give the needed bitterness. A good beer.

On tap at Café Hesp, Amsterdam. Brown coloured, small brown head, dry slight roasted nose. Sweet malty, caramel and toffee with some woody notes in the finish. Some dried fruits also. Overrated beer.

16.9 oz bottle. Poured a clear dark brown-orange color. Head was one finger high, light tan, and left a bit of lace behind. Aroma was of malty molasses accented by a hint of campfire. Slightly sweet and full bodied. Molasses came out again in the flavor with some brown sugar and a splash of alcohol.

Sampled at Utrechts Bokbierfestival Dark brown color. Malty aroma. Roasted malty taste. Bitter palate, like a lot of German beers. Rerate Better, maybe perfect temperature. But this bock is quite good actually. Almost a combination between the dunkel and a bockbeer. Malty, bit fruity and also heavy on the stomach.
