2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Kind of smelt and tasted like pizza dough, it also had this realy malty, sweet and bitter characteristic that just didn’t work for me.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Excellent sweet/roasted balance. Very mouthy. Finish doesn’t cling. This is generally the best 4.1 rating beer that I can get for $6.99/6 pack. An excellent choice, an excellent value.

Holy moly!! I wasn’t expecting something so thick. The mouthfeel is unreal but the chocolate is overbearing.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
better then the birra moretti but thats not saying much,this doesnt have the water palate as the birra does.good but not great.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This one sinks rich and heavy in the mouth, loaded with carameled nuttiness. It gets heavier as you go and if you ordered a huge, spicy red dish like I did it gets to be too much, but I admire that opening feel.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nice and dark with a great head. Too bad it doesn’t have much taste. So-so attempt at a double bock.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sharp caramel sweetness, slightly cloying, with a bitter, bland finish. Heavy palate and syrupy sweetness undermine this beer’s potential.

The other guy was right, this does really remind me of a Scottish Ale, with its peaty-smokiness and ale-like fruitiness. Still, the dopplebock malt does come through enough for the style. As MJ says, this would be good with tomato sauce-based pizza.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
The maltiness and smokiness on this make it taste more like a Scottish ale than a bock; I gave a glass of this to a friend of mine without telling him what it was, and he said it was the best, maltiest Scottish ale he had ever tasted! An anomaly in the beer world, and one of my favorites.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is one MALTY brew! If you’ve ever tried some of the non-alcoholic malt beverages like ’Malta’ this is similar, but with a hefty 7.5% alcohol. This is a rich, sweet dopplebock style beer. Well done, but tends to get a bit cloying and syrupy as you finish the bottle. I would think it would be a bit tough to finish more than 2 or 3 of these at one sitting. Well worth a try!
