3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Pours a clear mahogany with medium light tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is of toasted malt, nuts, spices, and slight chocolate. Flavor matches well and makes for a nice drink, but I think doppelbock would be a stretch. Has the consistency and heartiness of a bock. Decent brew nonetheless.

Erie Brewing is new to the Knoxville Market, and we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. Maybe it’s me, I’m fully willing to accept that. But this is another overly heavy sweet, overly heavy, cloying, boozy mess. Not my thing.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, pours a dark colour, aroma is strong and nutty, flavour is nutty and a pretty typical tasting bock
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark reddish-brown with a brown head. Malty and hot on the nose with hints of carmel. Roasted toffee for the mouth with the texture on the roof of the mouth.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a thin off-red head. Smells nutty, malty and roasted almonds. Taste doesn't disappoint. Sweet malt and roasted barley. Quite tasty.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours dark maroon to brown with a light beige head. Smell is nutty and malty. Taste is very malty with a nutty creamy flavor being prominent. Bit of a watery to normal mouthfeel with soft slightly lifeless carbonation. Creamy nutty flavor with just a faint twinge of hops in there, but still thin and malty, overall. Not bad but gets a tad thin and sweet as I finish it off.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle pours dark brown with a hint of red. Toffee notes after the beer has a chance to open up. Not exceptional but would drink again.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Luscious-looking dark ruby-red/amber, with a thin white head, no lacing, poor retention.
Nutty scents with some dark fruits, caramel, pineapple make up the aromas of this brew. Very pleasant nose here, makes one curious and eager to taste.
Excellent smooth and chewy mouth of dark caramel malts, creamy vanillaness, some dark tango fruits and faint hops. Good solid medium, drinkable body, with big carbonation.
An overall decent brew, good doppelbock but not even a great example, would have again, worth having once, maybe twice.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Since the slippers that were given to me for Christmas did not fit but fit my Father, he graciously bought me a mixed six pack at Wegman’s yesterday. I chose this amongst the sixer. Nose of burnt toast and sugar. Pours a darker brown. toffee tones undulate. Some real nice light smokiness gets absolutely overshadowed by the toffee. Hops are missing. Droopy, spotty thin lacing that is unimpressive. Some central doughiness gives it a bit to chew upon but overall it is a muddled disaster of a brew.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A very roasty malt that is much like burnt toast. Slight nuttiness and caramel, but with a charred finish.
