drmatt (50), THE LOU, Missouri, USA 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.
CanIHave4Beers (235), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Nov 20, 2008 Just one massive dopplebock! I’m going off memory here but I remember it well. Pours a very dark brown almost black with some good fluffy tan head. Flavor is certainly on the sweet side with lots of molasses and port flavors some fig and raisin. Aroma was big and full of toasted malt with some sweet and spicy notes. A little too much alcohol is present in the flavor, but the beer retains a silky mouthfeel and not a lot of harshness from the alcohol. DA (2550), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Nov 19, 2008 Funky, lots of fruit, like apple pie up front, mild acidity, almost like a sour brown. The body was very thin and the tartness was not what I was expecting for the style. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head. I just think this beer had something wrong with it, not awful, but not like a doppelbock. Butters (547), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Nov 18, 2008 Pours dark brown with burgandy highlights and fair, but unsustainable big bubble light tan head. Flavors of rum soaked fruit, toffee, anise, and some alcohol. Medium full very chewy body has a soft mouthfeel. Alcohol warming finish is not offensive at all. Not that expensive and good for style, winning combo in my book. michael-pollack (1570), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2008 500ml Bottle: Aroma of figs, port, light chocolate, toffee, light coffee, caramel, light molasses, nuts, dark malts, and brown sugar. Poured light brown/copper in color with a small to medium-sized, dense, fizzy, beige head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of dark malts, chocolate, coffee, molasses, brown sugar, light caramel, toffee, slight tar, and toasting. Medium to full body. Smooth, slightly oily texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, malty, brown sugar finish. tedovertu (153), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Nov 1, 2008 Burnt Molasses and caramel flavors with a a little honey a maple syrup notes. An excellent dopplebock. Small quickly diminishing head with virtually no lacing. Medium bodied. Dark amber/red color. Moderately sweet initial flavor with a lightly bitter finish. A syrupy texture with soft carbonation.
