Jun 5, 2009 Bottle - Pours brownish amber with a 2 finger tan head. Strange taste initially, but I got used to it. Nice hoppy finish that lasts. Not something I’m gonna run out to buy again.

May 30, 2009 12oz bottle from mrchopin. Pours clear amber with white head. Aroma is hops and citrus with caramel and malts. Flavor is sweet and malty with some hops, citrus, and spices. Full flavor and mouthfeel. Pretty good dopplebock and one hell of a label.

May 27, 2009 Bottle. Copper colored with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is hoppy, spicy and malty with caramel sweetness. Taste is more spicy hops, caramel, sweet malts, dark fruit (mainly cherry), citrus notes, and earthy hops. Body is medium-full and rather chewy while retaining its hoppy bitterness and resinous feel. Ends with more spicy and earthy hop flavors, citrus oils, chewy caramel, light toffee, and sweet malts. Gets sort of sticky towards the end as well. Nice!

May 25, 2009 Bottle. Clear light amber color, thin even white head. Earthy hops apparent on the nose, malt backbone as well, but the hops are definitely forward here. The taste is sweet and somehow reminds me more of the "double pales" that are put out there, with some added sweetness. Good, but not great.

May 19, 2009 Pours a clear copper color with a thin white head. Interesting aroma of hops and malt. Intriguing flavor of malt with citrusy, resinous hops. Interesting, it feels like a blend of a doppelbock and an IPA.

May 11, 2009 Bottle. Sweet citrusy aroma. Reddish amber body, off-white head. Flavor is both sweet and bitter, lots of fruitiness, and pine. Very different from the dark syrupy sweetness of most doppelbocks. Indeed, one of the more different and distinct beers I’ve had in quite a while. Refreshing and delicious, but difficult to describe. Definitely a brew I’ll buy again.
