Apr 10, 2009 Bottle, a dark amber/brown with a quickly dissipating, tan head. The smell is mostly malt and sweet caramel, with hints of nut and raisin. A very well balanced, complex beer, with an average length finish. Larry Bell made no effort to hide the alcohol profile in this one, making it fairly robust, with a very mild hop finish.

Mar 31, 2009 Bell’s Consecrator Dobbelbock demonstrates clearly what M. Jackson described as a "moreish beer." It is impossible to take a single sip and not return to the glass almost immediately. As the ABV suggests, this is not a session beer, but if you need to loosen up a bit, or are seeking a little comfort and warmth, this is the perfect beer. The beer has a beautiful mouth-feel that lingers, pours a dark\, dense brown with an intensely contrasting, compact head. While the hops are restrained and the malt forward and enveloping it is well balanced. This Dobbelbock is a perfect replacement during lent. It is also a fine companion for meals that we may seek when weary and hungry. This beer can stand up to the richest of dishes, but is also a fine beer when you need to round out your meal with a touch of hops and full-malty richness.

Mar 29, 2009 Botte from noncaloric...thanks again!!!
Nice rich amber pour with a very small head. Aroma is malty as hell. Caramel, wood, yeast, and some fruit tones. Flavor is caramel malt, yeast, a little fruit and some good hops on the finish.

Mar 22, 2009 Pours red-amber with a thin beige head. Aroma is primarily lager yeast. Flavor has caramel, brown sugar imposed on lager yeast and a grassy vegetal element. Medium to full body, sweet, only slightly carbonated.

Mar 20, 2009 12oz, pours an dark amber with hints of red and a modest, tan/white head. Great late winter/spring beer. As described - flavors of caramel, molasses and a malty finish. One of the things I noticed was the somewhat astringent/clean finish and virtually no lacing to speak of. This would be a fantastic beer, fresh from the keg - but in bottle form, I’m thinking its a bit underwhelming. Still good though.
