| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2006 Clear dark brown, with a voluminous and pillowy light tan head that sticks around stubbornly.
Rich but not excessively sweet nose of raisins and molasses.
Flavors are slightly sweeter than the nose, with plenty of the same notes (raisins, molasses). Body is medium, with somewhat low carbonation. There’s a yeasty cast to the flavors here that I haven’t found in other doppels. I can’t say I care for this last characteristic much.
Not my favorite doppel - too sweet and yeasty in the mouth. However, it’s a joy to smell this beer. mephisto (1144), Taiwan

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 22, 2006 Rich malty aroma. Chocolate and raisins, molasses and brown sugar. Herbal-like essences infused in caramelized sugars. Mild floral hops. I love the memories from doppelbock smells. Dark brown-black clear, with foamy off-white (almost tan) lacing head. Heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with great molasses worty goodness. Sweet in all the right places with brown sugar and caramelized flavors. Mild herbal essences and candied oranges. Finish is pretty clean with some balancing dryness. Not bitter at all. Sweet nutty after with just a hint of smokiness.
