Dec 26, 2002 I gotta admit that the name of this beer does not sound all that appetizing. This has remarkable drinkability and a great chocolate malt finish. Very smooth and balanced. I’d have to say I’m surprised Leinie’s makes this.

Mar 13, 2008 Bottle: Dark mahogany color, nice tan head and lacing. Nose of caramel and sweet molasses, light fig and some dark malts. The flavor has a light body, a chewy mouthfeel and a moderate amount of umami for such a downplayed beer. Nutty and caramelly. Finishes buttery and light in the tail. Thin overall but good.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle... Clear ruby lager with a small, fizzy, beige head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel, maple syrup and chocolate malt. The flavor is medium sweet, but hopped adequately to eliminate any chance of the malts becoming cloying. Maple and plum. Full-bodied and almost fatty with lively carbonation. Finishes fairly clean. Thanks to headbanger for shipping the bottle to me!

Dec 30, 2002 Updated: Mar 1, 2003Body dark but not quite opaque; small creamy head. Nose malty, slightly maple-syrup tinged, also slightly artificial. Flavor heavy on the caramel malts, but little else; rather thin and watery for a doppel, but there's more than a bit of alcohol which does not jibe well with the watery consistency. I remember this being a lot better years ago; maybe I'm just better at telling the real thing from pretenders like this. Not really any better than the other mediocre stuff from this once-legend.
