Pours a dark amber with an orangish tan head. Aroma of caramel and spice. Tastes of caramel, licorice, and butter. Roasted malt sweetness comes through as well. Excellent effort.

Poured from 12oz bottle into mug. Deep, clear amber brown with off white half inch head. Sweet aroma, smells a little like caramel/brown sugar. Medium body mouth feel with mild carbonation. Malty and sweet flavor. Nice malt finish.

12 oz bottle pours a amber/brown color with a nice off white head. Aromas of sweet malt, caramel. medium bodied with a nice malty finish

Bottle. Copper red/brown color, clear, light thin head. Caramel malty aroma, sweet taste with some bitterness back, smooth. Nice for the style.

Pours a hazy amber brown with an off white head and aroma of malts and fruit. Taste is sweet, of fruits, malt, hops, and alcohol with a long finish. Nice, solid doppelbock.

Pours a dark amber brown muddy color. Nose is sweet, fruity and malty. Taste is full of flavor, it is sweet and fruity but not overbearing, with a nice malty finish. Great doppelbock, finish is short and the taste lingers. Quite a tasteful beer very well balanced with no overshadowing. Try it. Quaff Score 8 / 10........a truly great microbrewery from end to end.

Pours a dark orange color, pretty clear. Big malty aroma, some butterscotch too. Taste is very sweet and very crisp. Very big malty taste but not much else. A good dopplebock but nothing special. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a nice deep brown with a reddish overtone, little head or lacing. Smell is of the sweet malts, with a bit of a hop backbone. Taste is pleasant, well balanced with the malts up front. Very good beer overall; get it while you can.

12oz bottle - pours clear amber with tan head. Nose is caramel and honey with perhaps some floral qualities. Flavors adds the molasses indeed. taste is sweet with some bitterness to the lips. Fairly light for the style though it does hide the 8% ABV very well. Aftertaste is toffee. I could do without the molasses.

Tap flight at Bavarian Lodge. reddish brown pour, very still in the glass with almost no head. Aroma of iced tea and mild hops. Nice malty Doppelbock. Golden brown sugar, raw (unprocessed) sugar crystals, and ESB hops to balance. Medium full in the mouth. Good.

Pours a ruddy brownish ruby color. Smells sweet and malty. Wonderful supple carbonation. Tastes complex: sweet sugary malt, candied fruit, something yeasty or candi sugary, and a relatively dry and bitter finish. Well balanced for a doppelbock, which I sometimes find overbearingly sweet.
