A nice lil DB. Pours a dark amber brown color with a decent head. Smella of sweet wet hay. Full nectar with creamy effers. A sweet brew with traditional flavors of bread and coffee. Theres a defined black cherry concentrate going on with toasted oak. A nice balancing act performed by a bit of acid in the background. The finish lingers. A good brew indeed. Who ever wrote the commercial description needs to take a lesson in common beer sense. A Dopplebock can’t be an ale.

Dec 26, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a brown color with a one finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is dark esters, cherries, and faint oak. Flavor is toasted malt, dark esters, and a tad bit of herbal hops. The esters linger in the finish. Medium body. A decent beer, but it’s something I would not buy again.

Dec 21, 2009 22oz bottle 12/21/09 (Binny’s-Downers Grove)-Pours a dark brown with a full tan head that dissipates into a small covering. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, cherries and slight oak. Taste of cherries, sweetness, oak, and slight alcohol. This medium bodied brew hides the ABV very well and is pretty well balanced. This is not too bad and was not expecting much and it lived up to those expectations.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear, effervescent tawny with a smallish fizzy light tan head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, nutty), light earthy hops, light bread-like yeast with notes of candied cherries, toasted oak, and alcohol (solvent-like). Some off aromas of stomach acid (butyric) indicating sanitation issues. Flavor is fairly sweet caramel malt with bitter hops and slight cherry notes. Again, the stomach acid is in the flavor too. Some oak notes at the end. Creamy start with a spicy and dry finish; a tad too attenuated. I was hoping for more from this beer given that they took a doppelbock, aged it on oak and cherries, but something went wrong here.

Dec 18, 2009 Pours reddish brown with a pretty beige head and a cherry aroma. The flavor is chocolate cherry with a tasty oak finish. Doesn’t really remind me of a doppelbock, but it’s a very nice drink.

Dec 16, 2009 bottle poured a brown in color with a thin layer of light tan head and little visible carbonation. aroma has muted cherry, sweet malt, and some dusty yeast. mouth feel gets thick and bangs on the door of cloying but the light carbonation saves it barely. flavor gets a bit more cherry, dark sweet malt, some alcohol, and yeast.
