| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 31, 2008 330mL Bottle. My first DoppelBlock, though I understand its not a "true" one being only 6% alc/volume. Very malty aroma. Poors a dark brown/red colour which is clear. Big long lasting head. Sweet and complex malty beer, thats also clean tasting being a lager. Malt aftertaste dominates. Reletively thick on the palate. Nice beer to have a couple off. MelbBrewersJD (32), Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 10, 2008 At 6%ABV this is not a Dopplebock and barely a Bock. That said it is a very nice and great value commercial offering. Nice colour with ruby hints, enjoyably malty although you would expect much more from a true dopllebock. Overall a very well balanced beer I thought. gam (1103), brisbane, Australia

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Bottle -- Deep, dark red withfair beige head with nice retention and lacing. Apart from the head, looks a lot like Coke in the glass, with large bubbles on the bottom. Malty aroma with lots of caramel sweetness. Creamy palate with carbonation. Flavour is all malt with a dry roasted edge at the end. Nice and without any cloying sweetness. madquacker (716), Canberra ACT, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 Light black brown colour. Not a big head. Coffee and ash tastes with an old guiness type smoothness. Velvety and smooth. Stew41 (1052), Caulfield, Australia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 26, 2008 Not bad and a reasonable interpretation of the style. Dark fruits and malts on the nose with cola hints. Similar to taste although the spices, as quoted on the label, become more pronounced. Plenty of dark malts and chocolate. Tails off on the finish.
