scrizzz (579), kirkland, Washington, USA Jan 5, 2009 Dark clear mahogany amber, strong fluffy head. Clean toasty cereal aroma. Almond, bittersweet chocolate and a little burnt/stale grain flavor. Very good, I’m liking these beers a lot. CaptainCougar (4709), Rockville, Maryland, USA Oct 5, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a frothy, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel malt with some bready yeasty notes. Body starts with good fullness and sweet caramely malty notes with a touch of milk chocolate and doughy yeast toward a smooth, bittersweet finish. A true to style and pretty enjoyable doppelbock, but could have a little less bitterness. robforbes (848), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 2, 2008 pours a dark copper with a large tan head, good lacing.<br />
smell of malt, caramel, touch of cocoa.<br />
taste is of caramel, toasted malt, nuts, some spice, some yeast, touch of chocolate, a little sweetness from brown sugar. bhensonb (3222), Woodland, California, USA Jul 11, 2008 From Liquid Solutions. 500 ml. swingtop as Doppel Bock Extra. Dark amber color with a substantial beige head. Bready caramel aroma backed by some fruity hop. Medium to full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt with some herby hop. Finishes a bit sweet, but the effect is almost a balance. As time passes, darker fruit notes pop up. DA (2641), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Jun 3, 2008 Dark amber with a tall khaki head. Sweet caramel aroma, fig and notes of sweet apple. Sweeter palate, a chewy caramel start, hops give it a bit of balance, but it stays on the sweet side into the finish. Finish has a soft molasses taste to it.
