Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a frothy white head that didn’t last. Aroma of biscuit s and honey.Clean sweet flavor of caramel malts and honey. Not much hop presence. Also, maybe just a hint of the alcohol. Almost too sweet. But, not too heavy on the palate.

Dec 25, 2008 33cl bottle. It poured a golden colour with a small white foamly head that disappeared fast in the glass. The aroma is sweet with notes of honey and corn. It has a full and spicy flavour with notes of honey, corn, malts, alcohol and sweet, light caramel. It has a short aftertaste.

Dec 22, 2008 Dont know why it took me so long to review this one, Ive been picking away at a case of it I cellared some time ago and it gets better with a year or so of age on it.
Pours a luxurious dark honey gold with a massive sticky white frothy cap.
Aroma is sweet honey some wood and licorice fusel tone almost like a sweet brandy.
Rich thick body produces a massive chew on toffee malts in the front, some smoky oak, apple. Then it seems to thin a bit as the finish reveals the alcohol in a licorice tang.
Slightly complex, big full bodied , long-lagered beer that any beer drinker has to appreciate.

Dec 21, 2008 Sua espuma apresenta aparência inicial pequena, coloração branca e reduzidíssima longevidade. Observa-se virtualmente nenhuma formação de colarinho em seu corpo borbulhante, de rala densidade e coloração dourada. O delicioso aroma apresenta notas de maçã e cereja marrasquino em calda - farejei também a presença de brandy. O sabor inicial apresenta moderaço dulçor e leve amargor, sensação esta última que evolui para uma percepção moderada no final, este de média duração. Percebe-se, até mesmo devido aos seus 9,6% de teor alcoólico, um notável aquecimento alcoólico. Seu balanço dulçor/amargor é semelhante ao de sua congênere Paulaner Salvator. No paladar sorvi um corpo médio-leve, de textura seca, forte carbonatação e final de sensação levemente adstringente e também lembrando giz.

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.
