Suttree (2267), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Apr 28, 2008 Dark pruple-ish red, no head. Nice red wine and tobacco aroma, and the flavor definately continues the red wine character. Some leathery notes, some roacky, stoney noates, as well. . As it warms, a suble citrus flavor emerges. Not bad at all. On tap, Flying Saucer, Raleigh. wilkie (1045), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Jan 24, 2008 Draught at Flying Saucer in downtown Raleigh. Mahogany color, clear, medium beige head. Aroma is a little thin, but with some caramel. Flavor is sweet, stronger on caramel, but thin on finish. Still, very smooth. Little bit of alcohol in aftertaste. Immy (1477), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Oct 30, 2007 On tap at the Durham WBF. Clear amber with a small off white head. Candylike sweet malty nose and flavor, rather one dimensional. OK. caniacmaniac (1), Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA does not count Oct 12, 2006 I had this beer at the World Beer Fest in Durham, NC on 10/7/06 and it was incredible. The sweetness of it was very different from other Doppelbock that I have had. There was a richness to it, nutty and chocolately with a hint of fruit.
