Dark red, not much head is what I said!
Bread crust, dark bread, dry malts, almost no hops. As it warmed up, you could taste a small profile of fruit. Great ABV, great looking bottle. I would put it up against Troegenator any day!

From a 22 oz bottle purchased from the North Coast Coop in Eureka, CA this poured a dark copper brown color with a big tan head that lasted a while and left good lacing. Nose is a very distinct rich dark caramel malts with some ripe fruit and faint hops. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy. Flavor is of sweet caramel malts with a touch of chocolate. Finish is very smooth and there is again just a hint of spices and hops. Overall a very enjoyable brew.

Sampled 9/18/2008. This dopplebock pours a dark brown color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head, with nice retention. The aroma is caramel, dark fruit and some chocolate. A medium bodied dopplebock. The malts are caramel and chocolaty. The hops are earthy and a touch floral. Nice balance. Not as sweet as most dopplebock, more of a semi-sweet to bitter chocolate flavors. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

2008 "001" bottle. Thanks, Sandra! Beautiful dark copper brown with medium head. Nice roasted malt and some caramel. Nutty, slightly sweet towards the finish with ample hops to balance without taking over. Drinks smoothly, but the alcohol comes through and gives it a nice edge.
