mikkopen (116), Oulu, Finland May 23, 2008 330 ml bottle. Deep reddish brown colour, small off-white head. Sweet aroma of roasted malts, with prunes and raisins. Flavour is like the aroma: sweet dark fruits and roasted malts. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Nice warm aftertaste.

Best Doppel I’ve ever had. nitsujcad1 (3), Bennington, Vermont, USA does not count Oct 7, 2008 Wow, tastes like grape juice, but this is a beer?! Very good taste and dark color. I would buy it more if it weren’t so expensive where I am. mcsquint (18), , Missouri, USA Oct 4, 2008 Poured from an 11.5oz bottlle. Dark brown with a bit of red when held up to a bright light source. Thick, longlasting, tan head. Aroma of malt with a hint of raisins. Very thick malty taste with a nice hop balance on the finish. This is my first experience with a doppelbock. I can’t imagine one that could be better.
