carruthm (1109), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 24, 2009 Somewhat sweet for a bock, still a very good tasting with the aforementioned sugars and a touch of porter coffee smokiness. Feinschmecker (176), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 22, 2009 Bottle.
Reddish brown color with light tan head. Aroma is filled with caramel and sweetness. A bitterness comes over the tongue, followed by the fruity-like sweetness and again the caramel or even molasses and a touch of smokiness. Ein fantastisches Doppelbockbier. madquacker (706), Canberra ACT, Australia Jan 22, 2009 Late forming beautiful head over a dark body. Nice malts and caramels with a lasting grip. Usual coffee flavours. Very nice. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Poured brown with a tall creamy off-white head that had a thin layer lasting and good lace. Aromas of wheat, cereal, toasted malts, and a light fruit background. Awesome fruit and malt mix in the flavor. Medium to full body, creamy smooth, sweet throughout. A very nice Bock. jbuzz (658), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 16, 2009 Nice dark color and easy head. Molasses caramel and heavey bread flavor and arouma. Mild in a way with a sweet finish. tarheels86 (700), Washington DC, USA Jan 7, 2009 500 mL. Pours a deep ruby with a thin Coco-Cola like head fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is red licorice, malt, molasses, caramel, milk chocolate. Has a good dark malt backbone along with rye bread, chocolate, licorice, and good balancing hops. Oily mouthfeel. Lots of coating. Long, sweet finish. Best doppelbock aside from Celebrator that I have tried. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark Dec 30, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours dark hazzlenut brown with a light brown head. Dense sweet caramel and breadish aroma with a lot fruity accents. Smooth and sweet flavoured yet softly balanced by hops to provide a nice uplifting flavour to the dense and sweet malt. Smooth and lingering finish. Lovely KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 30, 2008 Deep mahogogany with a huge beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, rye bread and hints of chocolate. Flavour was sweet with notes of roasted malt, bread, caramel and toffee. Finished quite sweet.
