2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 rodenbach99 (1915) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 27, 2012
Style et résumé: Doppelbock au vieux café.
Comment: Bouteille de 12oz. dégustation de la colère étudiante chez Patrick, merci.
Description: Bière brune avec un anneau de mousse chétif. Le nez est bien poussiéreux, le café était-il moulu trop fin? En se réchauffant des effluves de vieux marc de café sont perceptibles. Il y a du chocolat. La bouche est mince, presque liquide. Elle est agressante. Il y a de la poussière, du caramel et du chocolat.
Note: 5+/10

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 teorn88 (740) - Rimini, ITALY - MAY 6, 2012
On tap. Pours a clear ruby colour with no haed to speak of. Aroma is coffee. Really intense coffee. Like smelling a sweetened espresso. Taste is similar with in-your-face coffee notes. If you get a pint of espresso coffee anf pour a ton of sugar into it, you have at 90% your perculator doppelbock. Anyways, I love coffe so I still like this beer. But balance is somewhere else for sure.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Balazs (576) - Budapest, HUNGARY - APR 27, 2012
Tap at Csakajósör. Brownish-amber with a creamy, beige head. Coffee, caramel, roasted malts, cream, and plenty of hops in the aroma. Medium dense, smooth on the palate. Good one.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 jackl (735) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 26, 2012
Keg @ CPK. Reddish brown color with a tiny off-white head. The nose is very strong astringent coffee beans, light vanilla, creamed milk. Some licorice. The taste is strong bitter coffee, deep woody malt. Tangy raspberry fruits with a watery bitter coffee rind finish. I would love to try this on cask as I think the texture is a bit too fizzy at the moment. Slightly watery. Fizzy on the tongue. Overall decent.

Orignally reviewed: 12/16/09. Poured into my pilsner glass. Pours a tawny amber with a light tan head on top. Retention is lacking. Leaves no lace at all. Scents of molasses, sweet malts, and freshly roasted coffee.
The body is silky and smooth. Light buttery feel left in the mouth. Flavors of sweet caramel malts, with a slight sour note in the middle. Coffee presence is not as bold as I expected. Some light ground coffee flavor, but mild at that. Not sure the age on this beer. Wondering if it wore off a bit? Finishes with a sweet milk chocolate flavor as it warms. Still, this is quite good. I consumed this one no problem and wouldn’t mind another.

On tap at CASK. Pours a slightly muddy brown. Coffee and toffee on the nose, with a touch of peppery hop. Lots of coffee in the body but nicely offset by the crisp hops and the underlying brown ale-like caramel and malt. Dry hop and coffee finish. Overall, yes the coffee is a bit in-your-face, but it’s not overwhelming and it all balances out nicely.
