3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 30, 2011 Draft at some NOLA shithole where they serve beer in plastic cups because they hate America. Pours brown with a thin white head. Sweet caramel maltiness on the nose. More malt on the tongue with a bit of fruitiness. It finishes clean but not that dry. Solid.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 9 Aug 2011) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with tropical fruit, citrus, bread and hints of grass. Malty, fruity taste with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus and grassy hops in the finish. Medium to full body, with a lingering malt sweetness. Quite nice and tasty.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy light yellow with practically no head. Aroma is of honey, malt, alcohol. Body is full, and plenty of carbonation. Flavor is crisp and lasting, with a dominance of honey, yeast, and dry malt. Lots of alcohol warmth. Interesting beer, and not what I was expecting. Not bad at all.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light in body with a thin layer of white head. Not much aroma to this beer but is slightly yeasty. Surprisingly crisp for an 8% beer but not a whole lot of flavor. Enjoyable but not really anything special. Tastes almost like a cream ale even.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
22oz bottle. Poured a golden yellowish color with clean white one finger head that quickly faded and left very little lacing. There was a hint of caramel sweetness from the malts but otherwise the aroma was weak.
Taste was sugary sweet on the front, followed by a biting spice hit and a warm sweetness on the back side. The alcohol peaks through in the finish but is well hidden. Light to medium bodied with heavy carbonation and a slight dryness.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
22oz bottle, purchased for $5 from Party Source, shared with robotopera. Hazy yellow color, thin white head. Little lace. Doesn’t look or taste much like any doppelbock I’ve ever had, I don’t know why it says this on the bottle. Some citrus, lightly sweet. Light body, pretty drinkable. A: "It’s so, like, plain." (she was drinking Raging Bitch. And she was right.)

This brewery shames me as I have yet to have nything worthwhile from them. I hope I had had a few before I purchased this; Yellow/gold pour. Slight floral aromas. light herbal hop taste. nothing at end; nothing anywhere else either - skip it
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(22 oz. bottle) Light caramel-blonde color. A finger or so of white head. Bready aroma with hints of honey and alcohol. Mouthfeel smooth, kind of light and soft, slightly sticky on the back end. Lots of nice, weepy lacing. Flavor of light breadiness with some caramel and honey. Perhaps a passing hint of licorice in the finish as well as a mild bitter pinch. ABV is well-integrated although adds a bit of hot sweetness to the beer as well as a big beer feel.
