UPDATED: MAY 1, 2020 (Bottle) Brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dark bread, raisins, dark fruit and a touch of coffee. Malty taste with notes of caramel, dark bread, dried fruit, raisins, cinnamon, some coffee, anise and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Rounded, tasty and well balanced doppelbock, with a slightly American touch. Very nice.

Pours a umber color with a smaller, but stable head of beige bubbles. Aromas of grains, mild silage and dark fruit. Dark caramel, pale grains and hints of burnt sugar in the flavors. Just a hint of bitterness in the finish and into the linger. Hints of alcohol. Bock flavors without much complexity. 6/12

Bottle from Total Wine, on Fourth of July. Delicious. Just like the bottle promises: caramel, dried fruit, and toffee. Highly recommend.

Bottle to stange glass Light cherry, coffee, some booze, and some earthiness. It’s a deep clear red with a thin ringed white head and it has small lazy effervescence. Taste is caramel, hints of coffee, lightly toasted malt, some currant, and a hint of blackberry and some moderate bitterness.

Bottle. Pours reddish brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of caramel, bread, dark fruit, and toffee. Flavor was quite sweet with caramel, toffee, dark bread, dark fruit and raisins.

Burnt sienna with a tiny of red. Fast diminishing head, very malty and intense toffee nose. Plums, intense roasted coffee beans in taste. Thin but long lingering...Wolfgang :)

Nice color--luscious brown. But no head. Huge caramel malt body. Sweet as all hell. Unbitter. Full body. Smooth. Nice alcohol to support the heaviness.

"Super nice malty aroma and flavor. Breadline, yes, but it is also distinctly Great Divide. They have a common theme with their malty stuff that I absolutely love, though strict traditionalists may cringe. If you like Hibernation, you’d like this."

Pours a finger of head on a cloudy brown colored body. The aroma is dry hay, caramel and grain. The taste starts off with a mild lemon bitter and quickly moves to caramel and malty sweetness that carries through to the end. The finish is long and sweet. The texture is sticky with moderate carbonation. A solid drink.
