Thanks HogTownHarry. Well here it is... the beer that puts me at the #3 rater spot in Wisconsin. The bottle has the gayest looking label ever. The beer pours to a dark brown body with a red hue. A creamy looking grayish tan head sits atop. The aroma comes off as water chestnuts and some soy sauce. Baby corn. The flavor is sweet dark malts, water chestnuts, light chocolate chips. The palate is moderate at best. I had higher hopes for this brew. Ah well.

thanks to blake for sharing... even if the bottle does look gayer than he does. Dark opaque pour w/ a nice tan head and some ok lacing, some light odes get though casting ruby colors. very light almost non existant aroma light carmels and touches of grain tiny light hints of roastiness and soysauce. Full fluffy lightly creamy palate. Flavor is very nice. An extremly mellow well blended taste. Lots of strong roasty notes roast malt light carmels small amounts of candied sugars, light toffee again the word of the day is mellow and blended. Quite good but not over the top special.

Bottled. Rocky head. Splendid dark brown color. Fine sweetness, with caramel and malt dominating. No strong hoppy presence, but it turns out well balanced anyway.

Brown 500 ml bottle from lcbo 06/07/30. Nice dark ruby look /w low to med carb small head that stick to glass. Nose is little caramel, little candy with small, biterness. At the taste strong liquorice , small caramel, no perceived biterness. overall excellent beer

Brown body with a red shine, huge beige head; Very soft pleasant DB nose, malt, grain and caramel; Very soft (not velvety) body, perfect amount of carbonation and a very slight bitterness; Quite long finish, soft with lots of malt and caramel.

Bottle. Very dark brown body under a thin white head. Big aroma - strong raisin, toffee, tootsie roll, and berry. Similar dark raisin fruitiness in the flavor. Prune, raisin and chocolate cookie up front with some light dandelion hopping in back. Slightly thick mouthfeel w/ low carbonation. I really like this doppelbock’s fruitiness.

Dyb brun øl med en maltet og sødlig duft. Smagen er karamel/malt med let brændthed uden at være for tung. Kulsyreniveau er perfekt. En af de bedre dobbeltbocks, da den ikke er så stærk
