Aroma of malt, a bit of caramel, cookie notes, toasty hints, some fruitiness and some citric and spicy hops, slightly stale and an faint acidic note. Flavor has some sweet chewy caramelly maltiness, hoppy bitterness, spicy, resinous and a bit harsh, and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied, a bit heavy.

2/21/13. 12oz bottle from Grassroots. Ticking while finishing up the details for RBWG. Amber brown pour, more hazed red under the light, with a fluffy khaki head that fades to a thick ring with fuzz and laces plentifully. Sweet caramel and malt in the aroma with a bit of green hop presence, but not as much as I was expecting. Sweet, smooth malty flavor with a slight bitter kick and lingering grassiness and citrus. Tasty.

Pours amber with khaki head, surprisingly little lacing. Aromas of cereal grain, sweet malt, and hop resin. Sweet caramel malt upfront giving way to herbal hop. Pretty good twist on the old -ators, I enjoyed it.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft to pint. Looks solid; a transparent amber with foamy off-white head. Smells and tastes hoppy with a semi-sweet backbone. Average on the palate. Solid, but not spectacular.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is malts and then a strong, for a doppelbock, punch of hops. The flavor is malts, citrus, a hint of hop resin and a mix of bitter and tart in the finish. Definitely different for a doppelbock, pretty good.

Gets points for the label and name. Aroma is strange perfumey hops and earthy grassy malt. Taste is way too sweet and syrupy. Not very good.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours amber with a small tan head. Aroma its caramel, yeast, toast and floral. Taste is sweet with a touch of bitterness. Smooth and almost creamy texture.
