50cll bottle, thanks EricE. Clear copper body, small beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, light raisin. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some orange/floral, light raisin. Light-medium body.

500mL. Clear, deep bruin, deep reddish brown, tan bubbles, no real head formation. Aroma is heavy syrupy cherries, oatmeal malty, very Biere de Garde-ish. Taste is malty, syrupy, sweet, spicy, very sweet Biere de Garde cherry malty, oatmeal. Sweety, sort of artificial feeling mouthfeel- sugary, powdery. Malt insanity. Way too sweet for me.

A little bit off kilter. Caramel and fruity, with a good bit of dough and bread. Initial appearances are good, but the lingering notes are sour (I can see the comment someone made about plum) and not entirely in harmony. Soft carbonation effects. Interesting and drinkable, just not especially memorable. Bottle.

Pours a deep, dark brown with a nice off white head and some good lacing as it goes down. Smell is rich caramel and toffee along with hefty amounts of figs, dates, and other dark fruits. Slight hint of nuttiness as well. Taste really brings the dark fruits forward along with caramel and some candied brown sugar. Mouthfeel is fairly full and nicely warming without really being boozy. Very nice drinkability. Other than Andechser, probably the best Doppelbock that I’ve come across. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-01-2010

Clear dark reddish brown, very thin foamy head. Surprisingly sweet aroma - caramel and toast, maybe a whiff of bourbon or vanilla. Very heavy, almost distractingly so. Sweet and boozy at first, with a herbal finish.

Bottle pours brown with amber hue, has off white head with large bubbles. Aroma is has a sharp bready malty sweetness, fruits, yeast, toffee caramel, lots going on. All flavors combine very nicely for a well rounded taste. Complex aroma with well balanced taste very nice.

Bottle: Dark and hazy, light head and nice lacing. Nose of toasty malt, roast and sweet with plums. The flavor is sweet, more chewy and roasty with grape and plum. Too thick and sweet, meh.

500 mL bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA, rated 4/28/10. Pours a slightly hazy dark bronze color with a thin, frothy, anemic head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of raisins and toffee. The taste is raisins and caramel. Medium bodied. Not a terribly good beer.

Pours very dark murky amber with a creamy light tan head. Aroma of burnt toffee malts, dark fruit, biscuit,some hop citrus. Taste is very dark and roasty with lots of bready malt, good sweet flavor and then a burnt bitterness that is of medium length. Slick texture, very soft carbonation.
