Apr 13, 2005 Deep brown color; minimal head, but that was probably my fault. Nice nose. But altogether, not really that impressive for the style. Not as hardy or chewy as an Aventinus- the all time great in the category.

May 11, 2005 Updated: Mar 21, 2007Dark mahogany, aroma of molasses and caramel. A tad more syrupey than I’d like, not as well balanced as my favorite bocks, namely the Celebrator and Aventinus. The aftertaste is more malty than the initial flavour, and it lingers well on the tongue. I plan to rerate this winter in the doppelbock showdown.

Sep 9, 2005 Bottle. Dark red/brown with large tan head. Roasted, malty, bready aroma with caramel and some dark fruits. Very nice. Smooth, malty, chocolatey, sweet, with a nice spicey and bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very good doppelbock.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle Pours a dark brown that lets a fair bit of light through around the edges. There is enough head that I would guess that I’ve only got 8 ounces or so in my pint glass. Aromas are of roasted malt, nuts and damp earth. Flavor, mouthfeel and palate are all very lovely except for a slight bit of cloying sweetness that I detect from time to time... not every sip, but it’s there enough to get a little annoying. Still, very nice drink.

Apr 1, 2009 Bottle (thanks bierkoning!). Very dark brown color with a medium, stable, beige head. Nice caramelly aroma with some bread and quite a bit of nuts. Sweet firm malty flavor with roasted dark bread, caramel, some toffee and light alcohol notes. Nice heavy mouthfeel. A very good winter beer.
