Pours a clear dark garnet color with a minimual off-white head that does coat the glass. Aroma is dark caramel. Taste is well balanced semi-dry. Sweet roasted malt, caramel, maple syrup and even a little vanilla and licorice. A very decent effort for a formerly small regional brewer.

Jun 27, 2008 Bottle. If you are looking for a colon scrub, grab the BIG BUTT. There is NO doppelbock in this bottle! Maybe old Jack Dawson had a few rounds before setting sail on the Titanic, and that’s the real reason the boat sank!

Dark red black brown pour with no real head. Smell is sweet and super light. Flavor is almost non existant. It is slightly sweet and almost has a cherry bite to it. Medium body - a hint on the thin side. Overall, not very good.

May 29, 2008 bottle, black pour, nose of malts and sugar, this is way too sweet for me, some coffee and burnt chocolate with a decent body to it but just too sweet

May 24, 2008 Drinking straight from the bottle. Taste is light and crisp. Body is watery, could use much more flavor. Has a macro-type aftertaste, not too pleasant. Now... if you forget this is supposed to be a doppelbock and tell yourself it’s just a bock, it’s not bad. Just a disappointing doppel.
