SuIIy (1406), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jul 4, 2005 Bottle from clarkvv. Medium amber color with off white foamy head.Nose is nutty, caramel, sweet malt. Flavor is spicy, cranberry tartness and fairly smooth. radiomgb (1921), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Mar 15, 2005 Updated: Mar 16, 2005On tap at Smokeless Joe. Deep brown in colour. Aroma was or caramel malt, some alcohol and was quite sweet. A caramel sweetness dominated the flavour up front, floral hops becoming noticable in back. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body, light carbonation. Finishes with a light bitterness. Meh. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 29, 2005 Ruby bodied, very small off white head. Aroma is sweetly fruity and malty. Flavour is a bit odd, nutty, hints of leafy raspberry. Sweetly alcoholic with a sharp finish. Bit rough. Average, medium bodied palate. Disappointing. Thanks for the delivery Pootz/Sammy. Sanchex (223), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 19, 2005 Deceptively smooth for an 8.2% beer. Expected it to be a little bolder considering it is a Dopplebock. Deep mahogony color, sweet malty flavor with a somewhat dry but not clean finish. Bought this at the Amsterdam brewery in Toronto; well worth the visit if you are in town. cheers! Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 29, 2004 A surprisingly good brew by this brewery and by far the highest I have rated anything by them as well as a top 10 Ontario brewed. Nice brown amber colour with suds and works. A yeasty nutty real chocolate and sweet spicey understated aroma. Some good yeast and it all works. Nothing soapy here. Medium mouthfeel. Thanks Pootz/Pootzboy. pootzboy (1037), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada Dec 21, 2004 Bottle fresh from the brewery. Pours a dark brandy color with a smallish tight off white head does not last long but laces the glass. Aromas understated..sweet, spicey. Mouth feel approachs oily, lovely mild blend of toffee malts and spice...moderate bodied but mild character for a dopple bock yet it delivers a substantial finish with the spice sweetness going to a tinny licorice taste. I like this bock...very drinkable
A nice unique strong bock, mild in character but flavorful and with the alcohol well hidden. dirkules (613), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 18, 2004 This tap brew is very typical amsterdam actually. a slight fruityness under the heavy carbonation and a reddish tinge and soapy quality that absolutely doesn’t lend itself to being a dopple bock. Nice taste, but suffering a bit of an identity crisis. tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 17, 2004 On Tap, Smokeless Joe’s. Dark copper brown colour, almost no head. Slight fruitiness in weak aroma. Mouthfeel was very thick and syrupy. Taste had deep malt tones to it, with some spice, but rather bland. Nice warming alcohol finish, the best part of this beer. Not bad, but a little uninspiring.
