Nov 4, 2009 330 ml bottle at Kaisla. Pours dark brown with a hint of red and a beige head. A sweetish, malty aroma with notes of raisins, toffee and some vanilla. A malty flavour with the dark fruits and some chocolate. Quite sweet finish. Includes a small plastic buck that hangs on the bottle neck.

does not count  Nov 3, 2009 Poured a beautiful black with red trying to peek through. Creamy 2 finger caramel head that fades slowly to a light cover that spans the entire glass. Lacing is thin and sporadic.
Aroma is very malty sweet. Raisins, dates and slight chocolate. Very faint citrus pulls through.
Taste is near perfect for a doppelbock. Sweet chocolate and slightly bitter coffee malts followed by a weak piny spice. Again, raisins and dates. Gets better as it warms up.
Mouthfeel is a bit weak. Carbonation is low. I would have like a bit more carbonation.
Drinkability is good for this style. Not going to get much more drinkable in a dark, nearly 7% bock.
Overall a great beer. Something I definitely keep around and get in the mood for.

Oct 23, 2009 Poured dark brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma is brown sugar, fruity, roasted, chocolate, and vanilla notes coming together to make me think of a fresh baked cookie. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, with coffee and dark fruit.

Oct 20, 2009 Nice smooth malty aroma with notes of dates and fig. Pours out an almost black brown with a light toffee head. Flavor is a roasted malt with notes of coffee and a slightly hoppy long lasting finish.
