Jan 11, 2008 Pours a clear copper color with a decent tan head. Nice sweet aroma of caramel and toasted malt with a little bit of hops. Tastes of sweet toasted malt, caramel, and a touch of hops and fruit. Hops get stronger on the finish and are joined by a bit of alcohol. Had this on tap and in a bottle and both are good.

Jan 5, 2008 Great effort from troegs. Pours dark clear amber with a fleeting head. mostly sweet, sour malts and alcohol in the nose. body is sweet malt, touch of soy sauce, a bit of fruit and hop on the end. Alcohol is well-hidden, seems a bit soft to me. Doesn’t linger quite like the great doppelbocks.

Jan 1, 2008 Poured from a standard bottle into a pint glass. An earthy hops and spicy-sweet malt aroma, with some caramel. A clear, ruby-orange color with a smaller-sized foamy off-white head that had light retention. Taste is initially sweet and sugary, with some underlying sourness, and a slightly bitter finish with a light alcohol kick. Good carbonation and bite, with a warming finish, a thinner and more dry beer. Good brew for the winter with plenty of character.

Dec 30, 2007 Pretty amber with medium head. Caramel and fig or other dark fruit aroma. A little thin on the mouth but overall pretty drinkable.

Dec 30, 2007 Bottle, from trade with carny77. Great aroma. Fruity, yeasty. Apple, cardboard, caramel, minor bitter hops. Tad hazed dark orangy brown color, ok head that faded quickly, no lacing. Bitter sweet. Initial bite about it, then you get the fruitiness and caramel. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, sweet on the finish. Nice brew, really enjoyed the aroma, just kept sniffing it for minutes at a time.

Dec 29, 2007 12oz bottle, shared by pjweaver (my bro). Thanks, Phil! Pours a clear, deep amber-brown color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Pleasant amounts of dried fruits and caramel in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dried dark fruits, caramel, and plenty of sugar upfront; very sweet and a bit too singular in the malt character; minimal balancing bitterness. Medium, candy sugar and toasted malts in the finish.
