| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2002 The aroma is of intense caramel sweetness. Flavor is dominated by the caramel, but there’s also some german hops, smokiness, and a bit of alcohol. Relatively crisp. Overall, a very good beer. harrisoni (6947), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 16, 2006 500ml bottle from Cask & Glass, Tonbridge. Clear russet colour with lasting beige head. Strong dry malt aroma., almost to the exlusion of everything else. Smooth in mouth. Lots more dry malt on the finish with some herby hop. Coo, didn’t realise it was 7.5%. Nice, but a little one dimensional i.e. lots of dry malt. Some dry choc towards the end, like a cheap supermarket own brand plain chocolate bar. Herby hop on end lends a bit of balance.

Dark copper brown, big creamy brownish head, lace. Malty, ryeish, shapr, almost metallic aroma. Malty, burnt sugar and bread in flavor, some brown sugar and burnt molasses. Quite industrial dubbelbock. Hides alcohol quite well. (4/4/4/3/11 2.6)
Re-rated, bottle (BB 10/2007), alc. 7.9%
Clear amber color, decent off-white head. Toasted malty, slightly sugary aroma. Very balanced malty with notes of toasted grains and rye, light fuityness. Light tickling alcohol, malts and sugars in the aftertaste. Warming and balanced. (6/4/7/4/15 3.6) Maria (6345), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Mahogany with a nice head. The aroma has notes of malt and hops. The mouthfeel is smooth. The initial impressions in the flavour are sweet and malty with notes of dark fruit, but then comes a nice bitterness along as a good counterweight. It’s a smooth and nice doppel-bock, and my husband is very fond of it.
