Reddish/brown coloured, medium sized tan head, malty nose with hint of chocolate. Sweet malty, chocolate and caramel with notes of grain and minimal dark fruits. Nutty finish. To be honest expected (much) better beer. jimmay (204), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Dark reddish brown colour with big light tan head.
Roasted malty aroma with caramel, sugar, nuts, raisins, biscuit, oatmeal and hints of hops. Flavour is slightly more straight forward with roasted malt, burned sugar, alcohol, bitter hops and nuts. Excellent complex brew. I like it! heavy (835), Split, Croatia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2009 1/11 A 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog and ogivlado, thanks for sharing! It poured reddish brown body with medium sized head. Roasted malt, sugar and biscuit aroma. Fine malty flavor, caramel, biscuit and burnt sugar with some herbal bitterness. Roasted malt occasionally ends to be pleasant. Medium bodied with longer sweetish, even slightly alcoholic finish. Fine beer, but not something extraordinary as a such classic should be. It’s easily forgettable, and also seems quite weak for a doppelbock. CanIHave4Beers (879), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Pours a deep brown with a nice head and plenty of lace. The aroma is apply with mild chocolate notes and some grassy and hay notes are a surprise but work well in the mix. The flavor is chocolate, cider, some burnt notes, plenty of bitterness, and some raisin and plum notes. The caramel sweetness is very well under control. The mouthful is bubbly but very full. This is exceptional. JulienHuxley (204), Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada
