Apr 30, 2008 Bottle… DLD ‘08… Mostly clear, burnt orange lager with a large, wispy, white head. Great, chunky retention. Notes of golden raisins, fuzzy fruits, cocoa and citrus fruits make up the nose. Full-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel. Rich chocolate malt and caramel malt flavor with balance provided by inconspicuous hops. The finish is sweet, but also fairly clean.

Apr 30, 2008 Description from the brewpub says "A massive malty dopplebock, notes of tootsie rol, unsweetend chocolate and cocoa powder in this lager" and that’s exactly what this one is. All the smooth and creaminess of a dopplebock, with lots of malt and chocolate for added character. Big on flavor and punch. Looks like geletin in the glass, but drinks smooth as can be. Warm and filling, the three different chocolates add a great depth of chocolate flavor here, each sip gives up something different. A nice yeast and toffe flavor adds to the malt and bring everything in balance. This one is simply awesome.

Apr 29, 2008 Pours a light brown with ruby highlights. Smell is toffee, slight cocoa and some dark malts. This was my favorite from this trip. I really enjoyed this beer. Everything melded and went well together. Clean and pleasant on the mouthfeel. This was an enjoyable sipper. I wish they would bottle this stuff.

Apr 29, 2008 On tap at the FFF brewpub served in a snifter. Pours dark brown/light black with a small off white head. Nice strong malty aroma with faint chocolate and dark fruits. Taste is malty, cocoa, dry and very easy to drink. Smooth. A solid Doppelbock.
