Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, North Location, Charlottesville. Pours reddish brown with a BIG head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar and banana. Very malty taste. Toffee, brown sugar, a little alcohol. Thick feel.

Jul 25, 2008 Nice aroma of caramel and malts, some earthy notes. The appearance is true to the style, a nice red/brown, off-white head. The flavor is nice, a malty, bready and caramel flavor. The finish is just malt, nothing spectacular, no hoppiness. Nice thick mouthfeel. Overall, a decent dopplebock.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottles in trade form Hopdog and Leftmindedrighty. Thanks!
Pours a dark clear reddish color with a smallish creamy beige head. Smell is lightly smoky and sweet, musty malts. Tastes lightly smoky and a touch tart with toasty biscuity and caramel maltiness. Slight taste of alcohol in the finish. Full body and soft to medium carbonation. Pretty good beer, but just don’t think I was in the mood for this today.

Jul 20, 2008 My bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of Thaichile. Pours a very deep ruby with a spare frothy off-white head. Aroma of toasted caramel malt, light spices and faint hops. Flavour of caramel malt, light spices, some sweetness and some alcohol. Medium bodied. Pretty decent, I enjoyed it.

Jul 18, 2008 (Sacrificial offering from July 18, 2008 Beer Club Meeting) Super dark amber with light brown head. Smells almost like… yes, like the smell of a German brewery while walking downtown streets. That dirty, musky, sweeet malt of an aroma. Tastes almost of a spicy mint malt… very good and woody, I think. I like so very much!
