3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub in Mainz-Kastel, Germany. Pours a chestnut brown with a large beige head. Aroma is sour mash, malt, plums and spices. Taste is a spicy dark fruit and some sour malt with an over ripe fuit sweetness. Palate is smooth but has an alcohol after taste. Good

A sweet, malty, caramely doppelbock with an odd slightly meaty aftertaste. Decent taste though.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Muffig-süßer Start, etwas malzig, darüber aber stärker herb. Milder und langweiliger Mittelteil, das Bier wird malziger, die Herbe verschwindet weitestgehend. Im Nachgeschmack weiter milder, herb, etwas muffig.
Test vom 5.1.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,8,7,7,-,7 - 7,36
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
The bottle looks simple but good, the beer in the glass is copper coloured, modest yeasty. Starts quite sourish, strong, very spicy-earty notes. Modest yeasty. Not as malty as exspected for a doppelbock. Finish still sourish, also some caramel notes. A very unusual but really good doppelbock!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle) Hazy, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and moderately toasted, slightly molassy aroma with caramel dried prunes and a tinge of chocolate. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid and moderately toasted malty base with caramel, marzipan, nuts and shy herbal notes; sweet and moderately toasted malty and bitter finish. Had it also on tap and remember it with more yeast-character and a less sweetness. 19.XII.09
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: A bit unclear, ruby-amber coloured, small to medium-sized lacy beige head; light aromas of caramel, toasted malt, milk-chocolate and unfermented mash in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; delicate roasty and mashy aromas, mixed with milk-chocolate, in the sweet-bitter finish. Not bad, but very tame......
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the brauhaus: poured brown with a reddish tint. The tan head was large at first but subsided quickly. Big aroma of plum, licorice, and yeast. Flavor had quite a lot going on. Chocolate, licorice, plum, and yeast. Slightly overcarbonated in my opinion. Lightly spiced as well. Finish was short but pleasant. A nice beer.
