3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 16, 2010 Another great Germanic brew. This one is high alcohol content (but actually have of whats in the Schloss!). Really good!

Dark amber mahogony-brown pour into thick tan head that quickly dissipates into melting lacing and a ring of foam around the glass. Aroma of malty roasted chocolate and sweet fruit. Initial flavor of sweet malty caramel that fades into bitter dark chocolate with a smoky, buttery nut finish.

a good mass produced doppelbock (my fav. style). It has a bit of edge to it that other’s (paulaner, craft brewed, etc.) do not. A very good beer overall, but there are better options for a doppelbock....if you can find them. good "chocolatey" taste with a heavy mouth. It just has a "twinge" to the tongue (high alcohol?) that keeps it from being a better beer.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appearance: pours like cherry cola, with rich ruby notes and a ton of bubbles. Aroma: brown sugar, toasted black bread with honey butter, chocolate and cinnamon. Taste: as the aroma indicates, almost exactly. Finish: slick, slightly viscous, then the carbonation and a hint of bitterness cleanse the palate. Notes: Nice doppelbock. A little too oily on the mouth, though not as bad as the Troegs. Delicious flavors, decent balance. Hides the alcohol well.

Bottle poured into tulip glass. Aroma was very malty with some banana. Appearance was black with a ruddy brown hue. small creamy head. Taste was a malty toffee sweetness. A thick silky mouthfeel. The finish was mellow and round feeling. This is a good doppel bock.

Pours a deeo dark ruby color with a full creamy head. Smells of sweet dark fruits such as raisins and plums but also sweet candied sugars. The taste is sweet with a nice fruity character with raisins and deep plums. The finish is medium length with a nice cereal grain character.

On draught @ Taco Mac Prado. Poured dark brown with a one finger white head. Aroma was roasty malts, some sweetness and nuts. Flavors were malty sweet with some nice roast flavors throughout. Mouthfeel was nice and full, drank super smooth, oily texture. Carbonation was good for the style, nice. Alcohol was virtually non-existent, a well done brew for sure.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
This beer is far to drinkable for it’s strength. It is responsible for several fun but bad evenings. Malty, roasty, but balanced quite well. Dangerous. Serving: Tap and bottle
