Jun 30, 2009 On tap at RnH (NYC). For a Dopplebock this one’s solid. Caramel bits overwhelm the palatte with rosted malts. Definitely a "liquid bread" feeling that leaves the mouth with faint chocolate notes. Overall the mouth feels like it’s chewing on caramel and bread. It’s cool and if I had a full pint of this I’d pretty much feel like I was punched in the face.

Jun 29, 2009 Pours dark clear amber with a fizzy yet subtle creamy head that is caramel in color. Aromas rich in caramel, bread, a hint of alcohol and sourness. Flavor is semi rich with a slight chewy feel. Hints of raisin based with caramel around, a little bread, and dark fruit within the roasted malts. Sweet and a little bitter. Not bad but expected a little more from this one.

A decent local brewer, I find Troeg’s can be hit or miss. This one almost misses but manages to hang on to just above average. I’m glad I was able to buy a single; it is one I certainly will not be buying again unless it is the best tap available somewhere.
Aroma / Appearance - The minute it opened a gush of foam indicated something might be wrong. Concerned about infection I checked for any signs but only picked up raspberry sun tea, sweet grocery store grade chocolate, and malt in the aroma. Otherwise the ruby red opaque body showed no other flaws.
Flavor / Palate - Chewy caramel bites are the first sign that this has hit the taste buds. Next comes a light hoppy bite and chocolate. Tasting like a Caramelo it fades quickly without much fanfare. There are no major flaws but at the same time I found nothing that knocked my socks off.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice cola brown color with a small khaki head that disappears quickly. Nice aroma of malts, moca and alcohol. Taste is pretty good. Nice blend of roasted malt, dark fruit, spice, dark breads and bitter hops on the finish. Sweet, but not overpowering. I’m glad i bought a sixer of this. Very drinkable.
