Pours a ruby brown color with a quickly descending head. Leaves a pretty nice lacing. Caramel/molasses aroma. Taste is sweet with a lot of caramel. The alcohol (especially high for a doppelbock) is covered up totally. Taste varies over time. But it ain’t that complex. Good to drink a bunch and get piss-hammered though.

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle@Beers of the World Live (NEC), 2008. Amber beer with a good head. The aroma is malty and rich, and the flavour is rich, vinous and malty. Overall a nice vinous and rich beer.

Jul 26, 2008 Reddish color with an average head that disappears. Carmel and brown sugar like aromas. Very malty and thick almost syrup like. Strong in alcohol. Begins to get better at the end.

Jul 15, 2008 hazy redish brown pour. light dissipating head. light, sweet malt aroma with molasses. Very sweet flavor immediately, a bit of caramel malt with a finish of molasses and alcohol. not overly complex, but decent, a good offering from Sam Adams

Jul 8, 2008 Pours a whole glass of foam, quickly settles to half a glass. Medium brown/tan cloudy appearance with a very dense foamy and frothy head. The aroma is dense, flavorful malt, and molassas, and grains and grasses. The flavor is intensely malty, sweet, grassy, almost chocolate, with a tinge of hops. This is your desert beer. Wow, can you handle more than one? If you are a horse, then this is your trash sweetfeed.

Jul 2, 2008 light brown color with a typical small head found common in BBC brews. Good nose of spices and malt and a flavor to match.
