Dec 14, 2006 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Clear, dark mahogany lager with a small, creamy, light brown head. Excellent retention. Vinous nose with esters and phenols of maple, nuts, port, dark fruits, chocolate and a puff of hickory smoke. Sweet dark fruit flavor, chewy malts, port. Some alcohol and medium bitter. Full-bodied with a heavy/oily mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Sweet, fruity finish. World class find in a little wine/beer/cheese/printing/shipping store called WorkSmart and The Virginia Touch in Berryville, Va. <<-- Now, that’s a plug!

Dec 8, 2006 Bottle: I’m not normally so lazy but the commercial description is fairly accurate. This is a very nice winter brew and the price makes it even more attractive!

Dec 8, 2006 not a bad doppelbach. nice maltiness, toffee taste and some fruitiness. not my favorite, but $2.99 for a 9% beer that is very drinkable, you can’t beat that.

Dec 6, 2006 Very dark red color with a cream ring. Aroma is a very rich malt and some smoke. Very rich flavor, no hint of the 9% alcohol lurking. Impressive.

Dec 4, 2006 Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. The aroma has notes of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, and caramel. The flavor is complex with roasted coffee, dark chocolate and fruit, and tofee.

Nov 21, 2006 Draft - Poured a deep brown color with very little head. Raisen, fruit, sweet aroma. I prefer doppelbock’s like Andechs with a much more creamy roasted malt character rather than the sweetness this beer has.

Nov 20, 2006 Clear, brilliant mahogany - thin head. Raisin, prune and rye bread aroma. Very sweet at first, with rasinesque flavors at first, then some smoky, rye, toasty flavors. Some whiskey notes, too. Tasty stuff.

Nov 16, 2006 (tap at Gingerman) Burgundy body topped by a tan ring. A touch of smoke and some burnt rubber on the nose. Very malty body a creamy texture. Taste is surprisingly fruity & vinous (dark stuff) with a burnt caramel finish. Alcohol remains well hidden in that thick body. While not overly complex, this beer feels rich and filling and well focussed on its flavour spectrum. That Curator has a nice flavour collection that deserves to be exhibited.
