Feb 2, 2007 The color is nice, an orange red. Raisins, brown sugar, toffee, alcohol and a cough-syrup-like sweetness are among the many flavors oozing out of the palate.. The palate is oily and sticky but also bitter. This has a bit more hoppiness than I like in a doppelbock. It’s not one of the best I’ve had, and I had expected it would.

Dec 26, 2006 Draft, at the Maproom, Chicago. Mahogany colour, with full beige head. Had a long day ahead of me and so this sweet, strong, sticky malty was a little like hard work. Complex but not what I need at the time.

Dec 3, 2006 Bottle from Ross in my B-day package. Thanks mr. ranger. Pours a translucent mahogany with a fizzy off white head. Aroma of german malts and spicy hops, with some alcohol in the background. Flavor of maple, caramel, brown sugar, and alcohol. The bitter finish almost has an american barleywine bite to it, along with the german like spiciness and maltiness. Very warming down the throat. This is a nice strong beer, without the sticky and full mouthfeel. Another goodie from Smuttynose.
