RCL (973), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Jul 14, 2008 Rich caramel aroma. Super flavor, like drinking a not-too-sweet fruitcake. Aftertaste of light grassy hops and dried fruit astringency. radiomgb (1711), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 1, 2008 Beautiful brown in colour, light beige coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is roasty, light smoke, lots of malt, mild sweetness, caramel, chocolate. The flavour is mildly sweet, lots of dark malts, fruit sweetness, some cherries, black forest cake and some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel, medium/large body, moderate carbonation. Finishes lingering, sweet, malty and warm.
Excellent mouthfeel, this might be the perfect winter beer, quite rich but very hardy.

BeerGestapo (258), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 10, 2008 (GERMAN) Nice dark brown color with a sm-tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, liqorice, and raisins. The taste is yummy, with dry fruits, molasses, and coffee notes. The finish is dry and the 9% is well hidden in this doppelbock. Well balanced, and worth a taste !!! BückDich (4497), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 10, 2008 Bottle: Pours a dark brown color with light head. The nose is very sweet and fruity with a ton of maple and malt notes. The flavor is wet and juicy; grapes, fig, molasses, coffee. Bright alcohol and lots of nutty cherry notes in the flavor. Huge body and a creamy mouthfeel. Not for the faint of palates. thebeertourist (1696), Oslo, Norway Jun 9, 2008 Bottle at Au Trappiste, Paris. Pours brown with a stable yellowish head. Mostly caramel aroma. Tastes of nutty caramel with good bitterness to offset the sweet malts. Full-bodied. Quite nice.
