RM74 (22), Seinäjoki, Finland Aug 8, 2007 50cl bottle. Dark red colour, nice sweet malty aroma. Flavour’s malty, sweet and caramelly. Very nice doppelbock. Reminds me of the Barock Dunkel of the same brewery. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Aug 5, 2007 Updated: Dec 14, 2008500ml bottle.
Very dark red - light coffee-coloured head. Ever so sickly-sweet malt aroma, like all good bocks have. However, nothing can prepare you for the wonderful full combination of flavours which will explode in your mouth on the first sip. On top of dark dark hops and malt, but not too burnt, there’s a zingy sweet flouriness, and some pleasant hints of consomme. Excellent doppelbock, one of the best. Marsiblursi (1631), Göteborg, Sweden Jul 25, 2007 (Bottle) Pours beautiful dark red. Wet crisp bread and light spicy malt aroma with some German low alpha acid hops. Sweet malty flavour with some grassy hops to back it up. A bit caramelly. Lingering bready aftertaste. Medium body.
PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2007 Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 500 ml bottle. Dark, ruby red to brown pour with a creamy, mocha colored head. Molasses, chocolate, a hint of wine and olive oil in the aroma, Excellent malty flavor with some chocolate, molasses, a hint of spiciness - the sweet kind - like Christmas spices. Very delectable dopplebock. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Jul 20, 2007 50cl bottle from Tip Top. Pours with little head, no bubbles when swirling, except a little whisp in the center of the glass. the liquid is a deep rich amber color. The aroma is a familiar malty, butterscotch in a pleasant way. The flavor has some sweetness, but a tad on the the dry side for me, and finishes with a little sour roasted grain bitterness. tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jul 10, 2007 50 cl bottle. Dark red color. Big, lovely beige head. Caramel and some chocolate, pleasant bitterness. Very well balanced beer, but a bit too thin to get better score. rickgordon (3285), Göteborg, Sweden Jul 9, 2007 Bottled.
Dark brown colour, off-white head. Good malty, almondy aroma, almost spicy. Not so thick in body at 6,9. Good, spicy flavour profile with almonds, caramel, grass and bit of chocolate. Chcolate comes strong in the long finish. Another favourite along with Augustiner and Andechs. rlgk (3377), Vårgårda, Sweden Jul 9, 2007 Bottle. Amber color, huge offwhite head. Malty, nutty vanilla aroma, toffee, milky and some chocolate. Malty nutty and a bit roasted flavor, toffee and chocolate notes. Malty caramel finish.
