Dec 25, 2007 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy deep golden red with a fully diminished off-white head. Malty, chocolate and slight coffeish note in the aroma. Flavour starts slight sweet before a solid coffee and chocolate malt driven flavour appears. Finish holds a solid bitterness. Mild spiced.

Mar 5, 2008 Deep dark amber colored with little light brown head. Chocolaty and mildly nutty aroma with slight alcohol and slight cardboard. Medium bodied. Flavor is also doppelbockish with dominating nuts and chocolate, mild alcohol also here. Aftertaste dries with some hops, fine doppelbock here with straightforward tones, not too complicated. I like this.

Aug 31, 2008 (bottle, courtesy of Papsoe) Almost clear, dark ruby colour with a light-beige, medium-sized foamy head. Sweet, melanoidinic toast-malty aroma with caramel, cacao and subtle fruity elements of berries. Sweet flavour with a lighter burnt bitterness, full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Strong roasty malty base with caramel and notes of chocolate/cacao; solid malty finish which is rather sweet with slightly burnt bitter notes and a touch of alcohol (12.08.08).
