4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
A: poured into a snifter. Pours an extremely rich bombay mahogany with an off-white head. Decent head retention and good lacing.
S: aromas of banana and clove. no hop aroma at all. Sweet malty fragrances are appealing.
T: The taste of Brooklynator is amazing. A light amount of fruitiness, some banana, apple, and raisins. Some spices in here as well, but mostly clove.
M: very smooth and refreshing mouthfeel. great carbonation level, and its not as heavy as most dopplebocks.
D: extremely drinkable. very good representation of style. worth a shot if you can find it. probably the best dopplebock I have ever had.

Recently found a note on this rating from roughly 2 years ago that I never entered. Score as shown comments say "dark brown pour, tan head", "roasty but sweet" and then "mildly creamy."
I doubt this is still available.

11.16.08 A nice doppelbock. I like when a Brooklyn brew I haven’t seen before comes my way, it’s always a pleasant surprise. This doesn’t seem very common I hope I can find it somewhere.

On tap @ Mr Goodbar, Buffalo NY. Pours a reddish brown with little head. Aroma is sweet caramelized malts, toffee, fruity. Taate is fruity upfront with sweetness to follow. Some caramel-toffee flavor at the end. Almost too sweet for me & possibly not robust enough. Seems well rounded & alcohol is hidden quite well
