Aug 12, 2005 Dark ruby red shining amber colour with light tan head. Notes of tobacco, smoke and chocolate in the nose - lightly sweet with a firm malty aroma. The body is lighlty smoked at the front immediately stirred into bittersweet chocolate. Very malty and pleasant, a bit spritzy but it dances on the tongue.

Aug 12, 2005 [bottle at a MontreAlers meeting]
Bright ruby-brown with a very thin, white ring. Aroma is rich yet crisp with spicy malt and a significant amount of hops and strawberry/kiwi notes. The flavour is a nice, with cereal grains, but not as much as you would get from a barleywine. In the flavour you get a good amount of hops, but not a rediculous amount, plus chocolate, coffee, and watermelon notes. Just a tiny bit of unpleasant sourness in there also. Medium body with quite a bit of carbonation and a bit syrupy feel. Very good beer.

Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, raisin, chocolate, some nutty, vinous, herbal. Smooth, medium-full body. Maybe the alcohol does not fit the doppelbock category, but the rest of it sure does.

Jun 13, 2005 Bottle: Poured a black color ale with a huge dark head with average retention. Aroma of roasted malt, subtle banana with some mild chocolate. Taste is sweeter then expected but very enjoyable nonetheless. The mix between the sweetness, the banana and the roasted malt is great. Body is full and the only thing that didn’t please me as much as the rest was the molasses feel at the end. Anyway, another great beer from Biropholie.

May 30, 2005 Thanks to MartinT for this one.
The color is a deep reddish brown w/ very little head. The aroma is sweet, caramelly, maybe even butterscotch.
The flavor is sticky sweet, w/ a nice, dry clean finish. Very tasty.
