| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 13, 2007 Sampled at the O-Town throwdown. Poured deep copper color with tan head. The aroma was big and sweet caramel. Yum, makes it somewhat irresistible. Of course the flavor follows suit with tasty caramelness and also some light amounts of dark fruitiness. Very nice Doble Bock that doesn’t become too sweet like others can. thornecb (1757), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA

Creamy caramel from front to back. Slight hop in the finish. Alcohol well hidden. jayme9874 (756), Hamburg, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Ruby-brownish-amber, nice kinda thin, creamy, persistent head and lace. Nose packed with sweet, dark, bready, toffeish malts. A bit of fruit and vanilla as well. Medium bodied, creamy, sweet and luscious. Spicy hops come to balance a bit along wth a shot of alcohol. Ends up with a smokey edge and grassy bitterness. This is really good. Could be a more subtle in terms of alcohol and hops but maybe a nap will meld this into a classic? I might even take this over a Celebrator, I know thats heresy but its not as it once was. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2007 Dark ruby with a fairly large head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is very raisiny with caramel and more darker fruits, some earth and alcohol. Flavor brings this with a medium syrupy body. Solid, I gave it a bonus point because of the bottle pic.
