Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA. Pours a clear reddish copper brew with a creamy off-white that quickly dissipates and leaves behind some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus and fruity character, a hint of caramel malt, some roasted nuts and toffee. Taste is medium to full bodied, with more flavors of roasted nuts, caramel, a hint of toffee and some yeast. Finish is slightly metallic slightly dry along with aftertastes of caramel, and roasted nuts.

Brown-red with a lathered head. Weird aroma, perhaps antiseptic? Heavy maltiness, but very compact flavors that don’t really unwind. Not sure what this is trying to be.

12/6/08 On draft at the Winter Brewfest, Seattle, Wa. Aroma is soft, with sweet roast but no classic Doppelbock sourness. Appearance is dark brown with a moderate maintained cream colored head. Flavor is roast malt forward with light bittering and fruity sweetness. Overall, the lack of the slight classic sourness actually helps this brew so well.

22 ounce bottle from By The Bottle--Poured a deep dark brown body with a little whitish head. Nose of dark fruits, caramel, toffee, nuts and a little medicine and yeast. Finished dry and crisp and overall quite palatable .

22oz bottle. Poured a dark and deep brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, toasted caramel, chocolate, roast, and some coffee. Tastes of roastiness, bitter chocolate, and nuts.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a deep brown with a bunch of amber notes and a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of coffee grinds, caramel, chocolate, toasted malt and some hops. Flavor of toasted malt, some light coffee, cereal grains, chocolate and nuts.

Dark brown, nutty and bready aroma, brown sugary malt palate, nutty, bread-crusty, medium bodied. A simple little doppelbock, but likeable nonetheless.
