Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Aug 20, 2008Garnet red/brown, head is rich, thick, long lasting and takes up half the glass. Aroma is heavy malt doppelbock goodness. Body is sublime raisin bread with an excellent palate. A great surprise.
Rich, warm amber brown with light tan, latte-colored head. Abundantly malty, sweet caramel, pumpernickel dough, medjool date, molasses and black sugar aromas. Creamy mouthfeel is luscious and gorgeous like a dessert. Bursting with rich malty flavors. Sweetness lingers on tongue. Bread crust finish. Also hazelnut-chocolate. raymondwave (867), Finland Feb 22, 2008 Bottle 0.5 l. Dark brown, thick head. Nose is caramel, malts, liqourice and some coffee. Flavor is spicy, malty with strong liqourice. Smoothly roasted, never too bitter. Very very nice doppelbock. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Feb 1, 2008 Very dark brown with a moderate head. The aroma has nice notes of roasted malt, hops and a bit of alcohol. The flavour is slightly sweet in a nice way with pleasant notes of roasted malt, caramel and a hint of licorice. Normally bock isn’t my style, but I like this one... MrRain (415), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jan 24, 2008 Bottled & poured into a stemmed glass. WKAB pours dark ruby or medium brown with a nice off-white creamy head. I don’t detect much in the nose except a touch of caramel. The body is pretty thick and pleasently coats your mouth. After the first taste your mouth waters for more. Caramel and alcohol accompany a nutty flavor making this a great beer. I’m very impressed with this beer. It is a great example of a doppelbock, one of the best. nick76 (2636), Tampa, Florida, USA Jan 24, 2008 The aroma is sweet and rich with toasted malt, toffee, and chocolate. The appearance is dark brown with a tan head. The flavor is like the aroma plus licorice cola. The palate is a little thin but OK. Overall it’s very good. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Jan 18, 2008 500ml bottle at Microbar, Clapham, 14th Jan 08. Looks great in the glass - deep ruby red. Very malty aroma but thankfully the flavour is a smooth mellow chocolate taste with a nice long finish. kappldav123 (1790), Markkleeberg, Germany Dec 20, 2007 The bottle looks really good. The beer in the glass also. Very malty, not too much, very balanced. After every gulp you look forward to the next one. Really good beer. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Dec 7, 2007 In the 0.5L bottle from Total Beverage, Denver. Pours a very dark sepia brown with a dark beige head that is fluffy and creamy. Amazing chocolate malted milk aroma. Very thick and silky palate. This has a medium roastedness and a huge chocolate flavor. Just Fantastic. I think this might even be underrated at 3.8!
