May 31, 2005 2004 Vintage: I should rate it a perfect on the name alone... Dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma of brown sugar and smoke. Very malty body with a good caramel hit and some nearly crunchy sugarness. It’s definitely sweet and so something to sit back and relax with. Very enjoyable!

May 19, 2005 Deep amber with impressive off-white lacework - rich, complex aroma of chocolate, cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar, some spices, alcohol in the background - the flavor has some of the largest caramel presence I’ve tasted in a beer - cinnamon and sugar, some earthy, belgian-like qualities - a hint of nutmeg and chocolate near the back - very nice.

May 12, 2005 Pours brown like maple syrup with a thick brownish head. Aroma has caramel malts, raisin, apple, brown sugar and toffee. Taste has is alcoholic for a Dopplebock yet quite effective. It is certainly a good imitation of a Doppelbock. It is Americanized because of the hops especially.

May 9, 2005 Pours hazy dark brown with medium, light tan head. Aroma of bready malt, dark fruit, cognac, cabernet. Tastes caramel malty, with big dark fruit presence and a dense, rich, complex finish that lacks balance to an extent. Not in my elite echelon of doppelbocks, bit this one holds its own.

May 9, 2005 Bomber bottle from Mike: Ruby highlight deep amber hue with a nice frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of rich caramelized and burnt malts, apple, fig, brown sugar, earthy esters, and a hint of phenolic activity. The taste starts sweet, sugary, and a bit more fruity than I expected. I get some spicy bitterness and sublime vinous notes as well. The feel is smooth and lush, not heavy but not thin either. The alcohol is noticeable and creates a warming upon drinking. Despite some flaws, this beers overall taste makes up for them. This is one dopple you know is a big one. Enjoy.
