Sep 17, 2007 Excellent. The first doppelbock I ever drank several years ago, and one I return to often. Great appearance, and flavor -- the molasses in the aroma transfers over to the flavor.

Sep 16, 2007 Bottle, poured picked up from the Dodgi’ Deli, Cowley Road, and supped whilst steering a narrowboat on a merry course down the Thames 15-09-07 Dark amber in colour, nice chocolate and coffee on the nose, these aromas unsuprisingly appeared in the taste which was really glorious, bit sweet but there was bitterness as well and other flavours zipping around molassess, nuts to name but two, wish I’d have had another couple of these!

Sep 15, 2007 I agree with everything that matt (below me) has stated. I love the malty aromas, with a bit of caramel as well. The color was very pleasing to the eye. For this type of beer, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sep 14, 2007 Updated: May 7, 2008330 ml bottle. poured red/amber/copper with one finger of tan head. great roasty malt aromas; caramel, and candy. also some lingering bitterness. flavours are candy sweetness followed by a great bitter finish. very well balanced with perfect carbonatiion. this one surprised me, i wasnt expecting it to be this good.

Sep 10, 2007 Poured a clear, bright red, with a tan head that vanished quickly.
The aroma was red candy licorice, alcoholic notes, molasses, and grain.
The mouthfeel was a bit too watery and much lower carbonation than the usual.
The taste is red licorice (which I feel is the combination of the malt and grain flavours combining with some cranberry esters). The beer was slightly warming, but not noticeably high alcohol.
An enjoyable beer, but one best served late at night to enjoy alone.

Sep 8, 2007 Bottle. Poured a nice dark golden-brown with a small head. VERY malty aroma that smelled like caramel, molasses, and a hint of coffee. The taste was also intensely malty. It was a smooth palate though and the sweet flavor was not saccharine. A pretty good doppelbock when looking for something malty.
