DA (2389), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Apr 20, 2008 On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours brown, dark with a red hue and soft khaki head. Toasted malt nose with a cherry and caramel character. Not as earthy as many German doppels, but a bit fruitier and more sessionable. Hops were a bit stronger leading to a bitter and floral finish. I think they changed the recipe since I didn’t pick up any of the soy sauce or acidity that others described. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2006 Yikes, this is bone dry, with a huge amount of herbal vegetal flavors. Bittersweet soy sauce maltiness, too much roasted acidity, unbalanced. motelpogo (4111), Plzen, Czech Republic Sep 9, 2004 on tap in klamath falls. very sweet doppelbock with a little terriyaki in there for balance, not much in the way of a finish Zach Diesel (907), Sedona, Arizona, USA Jun 30, 2004 caramely and nutty malt aroma, brown/ruby with a tan head, too much veggie maltiness, dry not sweet and slight stickiness BückDich (4540), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 9, 2004 Clear ruby black color with no head & a little lacing. The aroma is malty with a light fruity sweetness. Lots of sweetness & roast in the flavor, not much hops. Finishes roasty, full boded. Refreshing doppelbock.
