This rocks! Dangerously delicious. Bittersweet fruity nose, with some very nice caramel malt, mixed over the top of delicious black, almost has a chai taste to it, with some liquid vitamin mineral dryness. Sticky, but not syrupy, with a sweet mouthfeel but still remains very clean and is never heavy.

Oct 5, 2008 pours a murky brown with a cream head. Aroma is caramel and raisins. Taste Is more dark fruit, chocolate, vanilla and a nice bitterness on the end to cut some of the sweetness. Not a huge dopplebock fan but this is one of the best I’ve had.

Oct 3, 2008 In short: An overly sweet and slightly fruity big bock
How: Bottle, consumed fresh a few days after purchase
The look: Very dark ruby body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: Crisp molasses (and lots of it), raisins, toffee, some black liquorice, some tobacco. Somewhat sticky. Starts off ok but syrupy sweet and by the end of the bottle I was sick of it. Might please those with a sweet teeth. But I must admit not being a big fan of Doppelbocks, I’ve never been to a Doppelbock game cheering “Go Doppelbocks Go!”.

Oct 1, 2008 nice and rich, with lots of caramel and a mild amount of hops, it oozes substance with lots of room left over in the after taste. a great beer to add to your collection.

Sep 28, 2008 Maybe it was a poor decision to try the Ayinger Celebrator and then try this. 94% really? Aroma of malt and hops with chocolate eclipsed by the smell of something missing. Taste is full and typical of a good German Doppelbock but I couldn’t help but notice the thinness of the flavor. Overall, not terribly overwhelmed. Great mocha chocolate color with deep amber head.
