Jan 1, 2010 Big bottle, shared with Parksy. Pours a deep orange-brown with a thick mocha head. Very malty aroma and flavour, heaps of toffee and breadcrusts, raisins, molasses, medium bitter finish. Chewy and hearty. Warm alcofol in the finish, but well-integrated without being harsh. We had a discussion about this beer in our local forum before I had tried it, and I concur with many of my local RB-mates that this plays more like a low-hopped American style barley wine than a true doppelbock, but either way this is a terrific brew.

Dec 31, 2009 On tap at Fat Heads. Poured dark amber with a caramel head. Dark fruit penetrates the nose with booze behind it. Some caramel, dark fruit, and a lot of booze on the way down. Too boozy to be smooth.

Dec 23, 2009 Ruby brown with a tall tan head. Aroma is mildly doggy, with a whiff of bread. Taste is rather like an industrial doppelbock with boozy fusel character and thin flavors.

Dec 17, 2009 Draught at Barcade, New York
Brown color, quite dark. The aroma is lightly Madeirised. Good caramel flavor, too much oxidisation and alcohol, nutty too; strong ending bitterness, maybe too much. A bit chaotic for me.

Dec 13, 2009 Tap @ The He’Brew Bash at the Blind Tiger NYC. I was fricking wasted by the end so some of these rates might be a bit odd. Mega clear, some light hoppiness on the nose. Super rich and full, sweet yet bitter and sooo good.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle. Poured a nice deep, ruby red with a gluey head. The aroma is thick with sugar, hinting at a viscous drink. Indeed, this drinks with a robust character, full of strong, cooked sucrose. Good beer for a chilly Sunday on the couch with football. (#3764, 12/6/2009)
