Feb 3, 2008 Didn’t expect much other than a decent, inexpensive winter beer from Trader Joe’s. But damn, this beer is flavorful and mouth coating. Very malty, with more than a hint of port wine.

Jan 30, 2008 This beer had a slightly yeasty aroma coming off a very modest head. The dark amber lager is crisp and subtly sweet. It seems to have potential, but doesn’t quite live up to it. It’s not a bad beer, but not particularly good either.

Jan 25, 2008 Pours a dark amber with small off white head. Aroma has some carael sweetness. Thaste has some roasted character. A slight bitterness on the finish. Not a bad beer just not a good dopplebock

Jan 24, 2008 Bottled. Very dark borwn with a small ran head. Nice sweet aroma of caramel and alcohol. Flavour has a touch of port wine to it and more sweet malt. Good doppel but finishes a little flat with a strange, long-lasting aftertaste.

Jan 21, 2008 Pours a dark copper amber with a one finger tan head. The aroma is sweet, caramel, malty, banana, some diacetyl. The flavor is malty, sick sweet malt, man not too tasty, lightly toasted, a tad bit of alcohol. Bad vibes.

Jan 18, 2008 From bottle this beer poured a dark brown with tan foam. Aroma of toasted grain and sweet malt. The taste comes at you with a bit of maple and caramel followed strongly by a bittering wateriness, that coats the mouth and lingers far too long. I wouldn’t buy this one again. There are better flavors out there.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle from Trader joe’s. Hearty nut brown color with a foamy brown head. Dark doppelbock smell. From the first sip, I pick strong dark malts, immediately balanced by noble hop alphas. A bit syrupy and stick. Some doffee flavor, and a bit of phenol and diacetyl to throw it off center. Otherwise, a decent winter beer. But not the one you’d want to be stuck with throughout Lent.

Jan 12, 2008 Aroma has a gain like scent, it reminds me of a field after a rain. Color is a deep dark amber with good carbonation and a thick tight head. Taste is rich and roasted. Starting with a full body that goes down smooth. Finish comes on with sweet caramel like malt flavors and a little bit of a wine like feel, then a nice bitterness. In the after taste the alcohol shows its self. This is a very good Winter Brew and one of the best Doppelbocks I can remember having.
