Feb 1, 2008 The pour is nearly black with a small tan head. The nose is dark fruit, toffee, maple and a few I just can’t seem to grasp. The flavor is well balanced and I would to try this again.

Nov 30, 2007 16.9oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy, dark copper with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Heavy aromas of roasted malts, molasses, and some hints of campfire smoke. Flavor is of malts, some spice, and caramel with a sweet, nutty finish. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth, and the 7.4% is hidden very well. Great brew.

Aug 1, 2008 This is a nice one.
Appearance: Dark brown, looks suspiciously like Coca-Cola in my pilsener glass.
Aroma: A tad (but just a tad) on the weak side in my book. Nicely malty and caramelly.
Taste: Very nice! Raisins, caramel, a subtle but solid Noble Hop presence, nutty and toasty. I gave it a 8.5, which is not an option on the RB scale.
Palate: Spritzy.
Overall: It’s no Curator or Celebrator to be sure, but for the price (much cheaper than either of those!) it can’t be beat.
I used it in the preparation of Doppelbock-Thai pork balls served with a spicy peanut sauce, with snap peas and rice noodles. A glass of it along with the meal was a divine pairing. This would be good with an array of desserts as well.

Dec 18, 2007 This one was nice, but not what I had hoped for. A very nice dark coloration, but the aroma is lacking. Flavor is nice and full, but lacking in real character. Overall, good, but not great.

Jun 2, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head; decent retention and lacing. Aromia is sweet malts, is per the style. Flavor is equally sweet and malty, with caramel and clover honey. The sweetness is balanced just a bit by some coffee bitterness. Thick, full mouthfeel that is still very smooth. A very nice example of a dobbelbock.
