Aug 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Poured a cloudy red with a very subtle nose. Very creamy tan head. However, flavor was a bit too sweet and raisiny for my taste. Very yeasty, rich mouthfeel.

Aug 27, 2008 (Bottle). Malty sweet aroma. Color a dark reddish brown, with a moderate creamy tan head. Flavor is attractively complex, although a little sweeter than I expect in a doppelbock. Some fruit, lots of malt. Good mouthfeel. Nice effort, but not up to the standard of Celebrator.

Aug 26, 2008 pours a dark garnet with really nice bubbly head. Aroma is fruity, sweet, with caramel and some citrus. Flavor is delicious- some yeast quality, cider, fruit, and malt. Palate is delicious. Great offering from Smuttynose, go NH.

Aug 26, 2008 Shared with craftycarl21- thanks Carl. Pours dark reddish brown with lively, and somewhat large head. Aroma is caramel, orange, and lighter sweet fruit. Some dark fruit in there as well. Biscuit, and malt character powerful. Flavor is tons of caramel, ripe fruit, cider, and huge maltyness. Palate is smooth and full. I’m proud to live in New Hampshire- Smuttynose kicks ass.
