Mar 14, 2008 500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear, deep mahogany with a moderate tan head.
Aroma: Cola-like herbals, woody, deep burnt sugar, a bit earthy, some dates/prunes and molasses, rye bread crust.
Palate: Medium body, fairly soft carbonation, a bit syrupy.
Flav.: Lots of dark rye bread crust, some molasses/toffee/burnt sugar, a bit of dark dried fruit, a bit of wood, much like the nose; finishes a bit off-dry with a little bitterness.
Tasty and certainly to style. Doesn’t blow me away.

Mar 13, 2008 Pours a dark brownish-amber-red color with a thick tan head. Aroma of dried fruits (raisins, dates, a hint of apple), some brown sugar, molasses. This beer really had a LOT of intense flavors... rich sugary roasted malts, raisins, candied fruits, a very slight hint of hops. Mouthfeel was soft and silky, a tiny bit sticky. Overall pretty great stuff, a nice surprise to find this beer.

Mar 12, 2008 Sweet dark caramel aroma. Very dark amber color with a beige/tan ring. Medium body with very light and creamy carbonation. Flavor is more burnt than roasted caramel with accompanying dark fruits. There seems to be hop at the finish, so it is not so sticky sweet as it seemed to start. Flavors are fairly complex, and it is a decent tasty brew.

Mar 11, 2008 Bottle. Rich wonderful malt aroma. Deep ruby with beige head. Very malty, balanced and complex flavor with brown sugar, coffee, cocoa and a bit of dried fruit. Awesome soft, full mouthfeel. Would be great if it wasn’t so sweet.

Faint burnt caramel aroma.
Dark brown with a nice big tan foamy head.
Such a full bodied creamy taste, sweet roasted malty caramel.
So inconsistent, when it’s on, it’s the best, but too often it isn’t. Very frustrating to rate.

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle from LCBO. Dark brown in colour with small, vanishing off-white head. Rich, sweet and malty in taste and smell. Smoky/Roasted aftertaste. A very enjoyable, easy drinking doppelbock, and a great example of this style.
