| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 26, 2004 Almost black, clear orange-red with a yellow beige icing on top. Complex aroma: meaty, salty, noble hops, a little roasty. Flavour was smoky and sweet with a barleywine malt spiciness and an obvious alcohol flavour. A moderate amount of bitterness and roastiness. Full bodied and warming. I enjoyed this beer, but it was after a full meal and this drink is a meal in itself! IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2004 6.9% bottle. Incredibly dark ruby color, darker tan head. Earthy amd sweet malts dominate, some what nutty, a little roast, some chocolate, and some fruit pokes around. Medium to fuller bodied, nice and mellow, but still coats the mouth. A very nice doppelbock, certainly a treat for malt lovers. Boutip (2346), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2004 Bottle: Poured a dark brown color beer with a brownish head with average retention. Aroma is dominated by roasted malts and lack the usual doppelbock banana feel. Taste is a bit deceiving with again the roasted side taking a lot of place and lacking the more sweet/banana and chocolate/coca feels in this beer. A bit disappointed and not even nears the greatness of the Ayinger. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 14, 2004 Deep brown with a red tinge not much head. Very sweet, malty and slightly vinuous aroma. Really malty flavour (duh), but also nicely roasted ie. not too much. Not really bitter but has a nice finish with a tongue coating texture. This really is my kind of beer.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 11, 2004 I haven’t liked a bock this much before! Pours a dark body, almost black in colour. Aroma is malty, nutty with some roasted sugar. Taste is huge roasted, nutty and malt characters, with sweet hints, and just the right amount of biterness. Alcohol not really noticable. A really balanced example of the style! mustang3 (254), Whitby, Canada

Very dark brown tending to black with a small white head. Aroma and taste have s strong roasted quality which balances out nicely the malt sweetness. Delicous. pintbypint (1004), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2004 500ml brown bottle. Very dark pour - mahognay coloured brew with a superb 2 finger tan head. Chocolate aroma. Nice dark malt flavours,some fruitiness, pleasant roasted malts, cocoa, a bit bittersweet. Lighter in body than I expected and also alcohol stays well hidden. A smooth doppelbock.
