| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2006 Updated: May 2, 2007Bomber thanks to Kramer17801. Brown pour with a really nice head. Aromas were malty, but with a bit of metal twang in there. Flavors were better. lots of dark malts. bread, caramel, molasses, some spiciness. hints of alcohol on the finish. pretty good CapFlu (3481), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 30, 2006 (22oz bottle) Purchased at Downeast Bev in Portland, ME. Pours a large, frothy, almond-coloured head with a reddish-cola body. Nice oily legs. Nose is very mildly tinny and lemon-wheaty. Flavour (thankfully) is more potent - creamy caramel, roasty, leather and alcoholic. All in all a good beer though I expected more dimension than I experienced.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 30, 2006 This was sort of bland. Aroma was very faint, smelled of wheat and hops. Flavor was mild, slightly sweet, and a little bitter, ABV was noticeable. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2006 Pours a deep amber-brown color with large tan head. Very malty aroma of caramel, molasses, and honey with a banana-like overtone. Bready flavor with heavy accents of honey and molasses. A little bit of nutty bite compliments the slight taste of banana. Very traditional tasting dopplebock and very satisfying as well. allfreej (358), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 16, 2006 Bottled. Poured brown, with a medium brown head and nice lacing. The aroma is all malt and alcohol, with some fruit notes. The flavor is big and malty, with caramel notes to it, and a nice sweetness in the finish. Highly recommended.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 7, 2006 bottle from Downeast Bev. Co. pours a brown copper color. with a lively head that dissapates quickly. aroma is pleasent but not strong enough for me. i had to practicly stick my nose in the beer to get anything. aroma/ taste are sweet and spicy, with some very nice caramel malts spicy in the finnish, slightly sour to. this gets better as it warms. not my style but a very nice beer none the less.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 3, 2006 Bottle: Poured a clear nut-brown dopplebock with a huge foamy head with excellent retention. Huge aroma of freshly baked banana bread is quite just unbelievable. The freshly baked banana bread with a good slightly sweet malt backbone also dominates taste. Alcohol is well hidden and body is just above average with some medium carbonation. Definitely one of the best dopplebock I ever had.
