May 7, 2008 Caramel hue and flecks of froth. Caraway rye bead and a soft doughy element set against dried leaves; a touch of alcohol. The scales tip towards the malts but it’s well attenuated. Hops and alcohol nibble in the slick finish; light carbonation.
Outmanoeuvred by Karhu’s Tosi Vahva in this weight class, but why not just grab a Koff Porter?
33cl bottle, best before 10.2008.

Apr 3, 2008 The top is foamy but short lived. A bit darker than a regular lager. The aroma is quite bleak. At first the flavor is ok, but the finish just tastes like alcohol and metal, not good at all. It says a lot that I didn’t really want to drink the whole can.

Feb 20, 2008 Pours clear with deep amber colour and almost no head. Palate is nicely carbonated, but a bit thin and metallic. Malty aroma with moderate bitter hops. Could have more malts though.

Dec 21, 2007 330ml bottle.
Rated as part of an IVB blind tasting.
Not a doppelbock, not even a bock. Subtle knock-out juice is about right. Pale orange, tight creamy persistent white head. Sweet and weak lagery aroma. Tastes a bit blah. A bit sweet, a bit malty, a bit gingery perhaps at a stretch. Not noticably 8.5% at all, but just a bit metallic initially. I agree with Ako - the older doppelbock version was a different beast, this is too sweet.
