argo0 (6019), 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. CaptainCougar (4601), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 27, 2006 Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a short-lived off-white head. Rich, toasty caramel malty, cookie dough aroma has a nice authentic German doppelbock character. Body starts with a sweet, viscous caramel sugar cookie flavor, with some earthy noble hoppy bitterness, mild metallic character and a drier, lingering warming finish. Overall, very authentic and well-made. Thanks to StewardofGondor for the chance to try this! hopdog (4444), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 31, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with bstill (thanks!).
