asmithbeer (42), USA Dec 30, 2006 Clear orange color with no head. Nice fruity aroma. Flavor is a bit sour and fruity with a decent finish. Not too bad. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 19, 2006 Pours amber, with extremely thin white head. Aroma is sour apples, malt. Knocked back by the first taste of this beer. Flavor seems to vary between several different types of sweetness- a little fruit and carmel sweetness, some sugary warmth on the palate, finally a near cloying sweetness that finishes with a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste. That bit of alcohol gives a nice lingering bite to a beer that seems to stay within a pretty limited range of flavors. Hop aroma and flavor is there, but barely noticable, nicely balanced in that regard. A good brew to sip and ponder. bierkoning (5992), La Tropica, Netherlands Dec 17, 2006 Golden color. Chewing gum in the aroma. Very sweet flavor with malt and chewing gum. The alcohol is totally hidden, but you can still taste it is a strong beer. Sugary and warming. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 11, 2006 1984: Pour is lightly hazed amber with a wonderful sweet candy aroma...taste was wonderful malty and sweet with lots of bread dough...no alcohol noticable at all...wonderful! BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Dec 7, 2006 Bottle. Poured a light amber with a fizzy off-white head that quickly diminished. The aroma was of fruits and caramel but some hints if wood as it warmed. The flavor was of fruits and caramel with hints of chocolate. Medium body with hints of alcohol and a warming feeling. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 19, 2006 Very sweet with almost a raisin taste. Doppelbock lovers enjoy...I however could not. I’ve had bocks a lot better than this jhumphries69 (718), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Nov 12, 2006 Pours yellow/straw with a thin white head. The aroma has lots of sugar and malts along with some white raisins. The flavor is vinous with strong flavors of sweet malts, some honey, and hints of hops in the end. The finish is full-bodied with some hops on the back of the tongue presenting itself in the after-taste. The mouthfeel is quite thick, but also nice and creamy from the perfect carbonation. This is a very malty and sweet doppelbock. SSSteve (2049), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Nov 11, 2006 clear gold with no head. aroma of apple juice with hints of caramel and pears. flavor is dominated by caramel. notes of honey. malty and sweet. light-med bodied. sweet but not cloying. just enough alcohol to warm the throat but not over the top such as samiclaus. very nice.
