Nutty, malty aroma with a bit of hop. Flavor is a bit too sweet with a slight alcohol touch. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Dec 20, 2008 Bottle. Courtesy of Summer SS 08. Fermented barnyard aroma. Amber body with tan head. Sweet sticky cough syrup body texture. Alright for a dopplebock apparently palate is adjusting to this stlye. Way too sweet to begin with but what do I know. verymerrymonk (255), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Dec 12, 2008 Pours a deep amber with a thin tan head. Caramel, a little chocolate, and maybe some dark fruit. Strong malt presence without being overbearing. Pretty good. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Dec 11, 2008 Updated: Jan 9, 200922oz bottle (Witty’s Rahway)- Pours a ruby amber body with a nice off white head. Aroma of roased malt, caramel, toffee, and slight alcohol. Taste of the same with a nice sweetness on the back end. This medium bodied brew is quite drinkable and well balanced. Not a big fan of this style but this is pretty tasty. JasonG (700), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Dec 11, 2008 draft at the brewkettle - Crystal clear ruby red color with nice creamy off white head. Aroma has ton of medium toasted caramel, cherry, oak, vanilla, touch of roastyness. Flavor is full of chewy malts, caramel, oak, slightly metallic note, with a fairly sweet finish, somewhat cloying. Overall decent, not amazing. Needed to attenuate a bit more and have a bit more bitterness, IMO.
