Crash (501) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - FEB 1, 2005

Another selection from the GABF. I was in search for all the dopplebocks I could get my hands on. Dark color with good head and lacing. A sweet malty carmel taste that was very smooth. An extremely good tasting beer.

scraff (2118) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAR 15, 2004

Deep copper and browns with a fluffy tan head. Lot of dark fruit, brown sugar, caramel, and fresh baked bread. Rich, without being overly sweet. This batch didn't show any of the ABV. On tap at Degroens, declared as 9% if I recall. Medium to full bodied, nice soft carbonation. Quite smooth and drinkable. Worth a try if in Charm City.

guzzler67 (1373) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - FEB 1, 2004

Dark copper appearance with a small head. Fruity aroma with cookie dough-like sweetness. Full-bodied and filled with the rich, sweet malt taste of a really good bock. Smooth finish with a bit of a kick.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 18, 2003

Hazy copper body with beige head. Aroms is medium sweet, cherry, caramel. Taste is the same, with some background earthy bitterness. Strong alcohol evident as well in the full body.

wilkie (1209) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - DEC 11, 2003

Nice head with big malt aroma. Caramel, then caramel, oh how about some caramel (It is kind of like that Being John Malkovich movie scene where everyone said "Malkovich" and nothing else). Anyway, typical doppelbock which is very true to style and fresh. Alcohol flavor in aftertaste.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - DEC 10, 2003

Brown. Phenomenal nose, hugely malty, sweet, toffee, just excellent. Flavor does not live up to the nose's promise, as it's a bit thin. Sweet, lacking depth, doesn't have the malts needed to back things up. General consensus was this would probably be better had it aged a bit longer.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - DEC 8, 2003

Crystal clear, deep amber lager with copper highlights. Small, creamy, khaki-colored head. The aroma holds nice notes of caramel and buttermilk. The flavor is very malty and rich with big butterscotch. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, astringent finish.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

jeffc666 (1983) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - DEC 6, 2003

Hazy copper with a small off-white head. Aroma has lots of very nice malt notes. Flavor is quite sweet, nutty and cherry flavors also abound. Medium full body and the alcohol makes its self known.
