krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Nov 25, 2007 500ml. red/amber color pours with a brief sandy head. loads of malty sweetness and caramel with a hint of musty hops. clean and malty. brown sugar, earth and a touch of toast that appears just before the finish. noble hops come through to make the finish crisp. very different from most other dopples i’ve tried. it’s the closest to a regular bock. just beefed up. not my favorite but still good. ScoWRee (275), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 25, 2007 Pours a light brown with a thin bubbly head that fades quickly. Aroma is of malt. Taste of carmel a little roasty. very smooth, nice. A little too much carbination. Finishes well. sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 24, 2007 330 mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours a clear reddish gold with a decent but quickly diminishing head. Strong aroma of malt and alcohol. First taste is sweet and powerful. The alcohol feels noticeable through the sweetness. I can’t say I drink many doppelbocks, so I suppose my review will end up being more of the style in general than of the specific nuances of this beer witihin its style. Too sweet for these tastebuds.
