3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This beer is starting to grow on me. It’s dangerously drinkable and will sneak up on you and kick your ass( it has with mine a few times). I would love to see this with some more rich melanoidin sweetness to balance out the roastiness and increase the body. It doesn’t change the fact that I really enjoy drinking a big mug of this beer!

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown, nutty and bready aroma, brown sugary malt palate, nutty, bread-crusty, medium bodied. A simple little doppelbock, but likeable nonetheless.

This would be a good everyday take on this style if you were into drinking DBs everyday. Very mellow, with great balance, has a slight bit of roastiness, some dark wheat grainness, but imperceptible yeastiness. Creamy mouthfeel. Decent
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark brown with a tan head. Dark wheat and rye bread aromas. Medium body and smooth. Good taste of smooth blackened malts and other yeasty bread grains here. Very easy drinking; not overly sweet, syrupy or alcoholic like some DB’s. Really enjoyed this one.457
