This one comes with the weight of expectation--in my ten years of legality, I have somehow not imbibed this epitome of the genre...lighter brown orange effervescent body... white head is thin but bubbly and symmetrical...sweet, malty aroma with a lesser sense of soft hops... a soft palate with warming effects around the tongue--little fiz--surprisingly drinkable for a doppel... malt is pleasant, not intrusive; in fact, astonishingly tastes like a full-bodied, trumped-up lager... crisp and clean, with sugars appropriately placed... the name may precede itself, but the taste follows through--and I saved this bock sample for Good Friday... "liquid bread" indeed, and a little bit of soul food after a chocolate-free Lenten journey...

Oct 9, 2008 Great aroma, it is almost enough just to smell this stuff. The appearance of this beer reminds me very much of Spaten Optimator. Not as fruity as Optimator, more "burnt" flavors on the tongue, nearly spicy. More complex than expected, every mouthful is a new delight. I really enjoyed this brew, I would go out of my way to find it if need be.

Oct 7, 2008 Love the colour of this beer...an invigorating burnt hazy brown-tinged orange sepia deep mahogany rose. Smell of malts, apricot, rum. Mouthfeel is smooth; almost creamy on the tongue and leaves a faint sweet tingle on the edge of the lips (in an almost pornographic sort of way). Taste falls intot he spectacular range with hints of ham, toffee, buttered carrots, brown sugar, caramel, spices, barley, and malt. Aftertaste is well rounded with some slight bitterness and cognac0like sweetness.

Oct 1, 2008 Dark amber body with a frothy tan and stable beige head. Mildly, buttery aroma of malt, fruity yeast, moderated hop, caramel. Complex flavor, smooth mouthfeel with caramel, sweet and fruity malt and nice bottom fermentation. Well balanced, roasty and liqueric aftertaste.

Sep 30, 2008 Dark orange. Very sweet, malty and syrupy. Butter, caramel, chocolate. First thing that popped into my head was ’tootsie roll’, and I feel thats pretty accurate. Delicious, but very sweet
