Nice mahogany color, with a lite tan head that recedes rather quickly. Wonderful bouquet of baked apples, nutmeg, and plums. Nice hearty malt characteristics. Full bodied for a standard doppelbock, but this is not quite standard. Very chewy, rich yet subtle on the palate. Malty, and not the faintest of hops in this brew but it works so well.

RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting @ the Harlequin.Red brown color with big off-white head.Sweet malt aroam with caramel notes. Malty taste of ryebread, caramel, rather warming leads to a slight bitter finish.

Mild carmel was only aroma or taste. Thin brown body with modest head. Absolutely not "huge" per the description!

light brown/ deep amber. cream/dust colored head. Aroma is lots of dry malt extract, some yummy caramel. Medium/Thick body. moderate malt sweetness. slight earthy hop flavor and a hint of bitterness. Well-put together and drinkable.

(bottle 1/24/11). Clear dark amber. Small off white head. Moderate bready malt and caramel aroma and flavor. Avg duration. Light alcohol finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

Bottle. Murky brown color, medium off white head. Aroma of malt-o-meal and raisins. Taste is Christmas fruitcake. Interesting.

bottle in a pint glass - I was going to describe the color as a deep ruby and then I read the bottle description - pretty close (for once). Head is tan and frothy. Heavy coffee flavors and super full body - I think I could use this instead of motor oil in my car. Texture is sticky. Leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste. Very robust flavor that leaves a big impression.

500 ml bottle. From mein-biershop.de.
Dark reddish brown (cola like) colour with tiny tan head. Dark malt, bread, caramel sweetness and hints of dark fruits in aroma. Bready sweet malt and mild hops in flavour. Heavy and sticky.

A: The beer pours a dark amber color with a solid khaki head that is about a finger tall. S: Not the most intense nose for a doppelbock. Nice brown sugar and toffee notes with a hint of fruit to it. Some toasted malt and bread with a little bit of cocoa/dark chocolate to it as well. T: The flavor is a bit more impressive. Nice dark chocolate and brown sugar to go along with the toffee and dark fruits and toasted bread. A slight bitterness and a light molasses flavor. M: Medium in body with carbonation that is a bit on the low side of medium. O: Just an okay doppelbock. Not as sweet and a little thinner than most doppelbocks I’ve come across.

Translucent mahogany with a thin beige head, Sticky full body with medium carbonation.

Aroma: tons of rich caramel malt, complex fruity alcohol esters.

Taste: lots of sweet roasty caramel malt, warm fruity alcohol, and some salty minerality..

By itself, rather cloying and alcoholic.
