Mar 10, 2007 500ml bottle from Trafalgar Wines, Brighton. Very deep red/brown with thick lasting deep beige head. Slightly sickly malt/alcohol aroma. Some toastiness, some fruit. Entertaining in mouth. Quite rich, but nicely balanced with tingly hop and carbonation. Even a touch of coffee. Red berry fruit. Bit of sweet strawberry. Nicely suppable. Bit sweet maybe, but balanced by crisp finish.

Mar 6, 2007 The aroma was malty with a strong, strong caramel presence. Dark caramel led the charge coupled with some alcohol and dark fruits. The dark fruits were raisins and prunes with a light bit of molasses. The beer poured crystal clear black with a ruby highlight and a tannish head which laced the glass. The flavor was molasses and dark caramel with raisins and prunes. This one seemed to be a bit on a downward slide with a smidge of winey character beginning to build. Also present was a bit of chocolate. The body was medium with a moderate carbonation and a creamy character on the palate. The finish was dry with lasting caramel and chocolate into the aftertaste. A nice dopplebock, but a bit long in the tooth. 1pt 9 oz bottle.

Mar 2, 2007 Updated: Oct 26, 2007Deep and satisfying. It has a lovely floral head, that belies it deep malty nature as it slides down the back of the tongue

Feb 16, 2007 A bottle from last year’s release to the LCBO; aroma is woody and heavy with some coffee-ish hints, definitely carrying the sweetness of the malt. The appearance, poured into stem glass, was an opaque brown-black with a decent creamy head. Flavour-wise, the alcohol is well hidden. Instead, one is taken with hints of licorice, apple, and coffee. It’s a good doppelbock, for sure.
