| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2007 Had this beer on 5/5/1999. Color is a bright amber with good carbonation and light head. Aroma is a heavy sweet malt scent. Taste is sweet and strong. It starts with a full medium body that goes down with a sweet malty feel. This malt flavor gets strong as the finish comes on with a sharp feel and a medium bitterness. Very tastey brew. elelwarren (138), SF Bay area, California, USA

Scent of pumpernickel & molasses. Low carbonation, medium thickness in mouth . Flavor starts smoky & sweet roasted malts. Ends with a bittersweet chocolate roar which resounds for quite a long time.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2007 Bottled. Nice caramel brown color into my glass, small head that faded quickly. Flavor has a definite caramel and oat like malty vibe. Very nice! (in my best Borat voice). A really good beer even though its not my primary style. AgentSteve (1357), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 15, 2007 Updated: Mar 27, 2008This is the most beautiful DB I’ve seen, having more of an amber copper hue than the usual deep brown. The oatmeal colored head disipates quickly. The nose is typical DB, with malt, smoke, and soy. The flavor is subtle and smooth, sweet from malt, very little trace of the soy, and a dry, smokey finish. Not my favorite style of beer, but in that catagory, one of the best I’ve had.
