The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.
Thaichile (570), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Oct 14, 2006 Tap. Salem. Pours a deep reddish brown without much of a head. Nose is malty and fruity. Flavor is a little thin for a doppelbock as well as mouthfeel. Slightly sweet with licorice in the finish, minimal bitterness I have had better from the Beer Works. Crosling (1585), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jan 24, 2006 While the haymarket was very aromatic, this had no aroma at all, none, whatsoever. I don’t even have to adjust the score in fact. Ruby brown color. Flavor is very strange, syrupy, overly ripe and alcoholic. Some caramel, toffee and plum, but mainly just husk and alcohol. beaconstreet (810), Washington DC, USA Oct 12, 2004 Powdered sugar aroma that’s subtle. Asparagus aftertaste. Garnet colored. Tastes foamy in the palate. Excellent clarity. Had at Canal St. Location. GeniusGirl (221), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Oct 11, 2004 tap @ canal. oily palate, as beaconstreet noted an asparagus aftertaste, creamy on the palate... almost like swallowing a sweet load.
