Dec 14, 2008 pours a clear dark yellow with a thin white head that goes away quickly, and no lacing.
smell is of grapes, fruit, some floral, alcohol, and citrus in the back.
taste is flat, sweet fruit, and malt, ends slightly bitter and warming.
overall i would not classify this as a doppelbock more of a belgium ale.

Dec 9, 2008 This Bock poured a crystal clear light yellow colour with next to no head at all even after a vigorous pour. To the nose there are scents of alcohol vinegar corn and caramel. First taste is very malty with a strong mettalic flavour. Tastes of metal corn malt and hopps. Strong corn flavour at the finish with the metal and hopps lingering. I don’t know how this beer has a 69 percentile.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottled. A clear golden beer with a medium sized and disappearing white head. The aroma is strong and malty with note of caramel, fruits and alcohol. The flavour is very sweet but pleasant, warming and fruity. Medium to full body, average carbonation, long finish with light bitterness. The alcohol is felt. Not exactly my kind of beer, but good for a cold winter evening like this.

Nov 28, 2008 The bottle looks really, really good. The beer in the glass is lighter than exspected. Hoppy-alcoholic aroma. Tastes strong, wood and alcohol, but not too much. Modest sweet in the background. Strong and warming finish. Good beer!

Nov 20, 2008 330 ml bottle - pours medium amber with a small dense white head. Very sweet aromas of grass, grain, alcohol and green apples - perhaps a bit off. Metallic taste, but not from the hops - like actual metal. Thick body, but cloying. tough to get through the bottle. Too much alcohol in the finish. Not my bag.
