Aug 14, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours dark amber, with a moderate-sized khaki head. Sweet, malty, caramel aroma, with notes of soda and rye. Caramel malt flavor, with some notes of dried fruit, toffee, and some hops. fairly full bodied. Nice doppelbock.

Aug 11, 2007 Easy drinking beer. Thought it was too syrupy at first, but it came around very nice. full of flavor, very good to drink at any point in the year!

Aug 7, 2007 Bottle from Mike. Dark amber with medium head. Sweet malt aroma is pretty subdued; a bit of sweet dark fruit. Taste is pretty refreshing for an 8.2% beer; alcohol is very mellow. Not too sweet in the taste; very nicely balanced. I really enjoyed this brew. Booya.

Aug 4, 2007 Tasted 7/14/07. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a garnet hue. Quickly dissipating head, leaving a moldy bone white appearance. Citrus and raisin aromas. Vanilla, cookies and a touch musty. Compared to the previous Dopplebock, Capital Autumnal Fire, this one is more lively and drier. Bigger effervescence. Dry but with nice toasty malts. More bready malts. Grainy with a sweet cereal flavor. Bigger beer. More bitter but less alcohol prevalence. Bigger and sharper, but not necessarily better. Bigger palate, but not as well blended. Still nice but preferred the former.

Jul 29, 2007 Updated: Nov 12, 2007Pineapple and dates on the nose. Brown color, thick tan head. Sour taste of roasted malt and traces of yeast and molasses which isn’t altogether unpleasant. Cabbage finish, again, tastefully done. Alcohol content is well hidden. Unique and fairly good.

Jun 26, 2007 Wow, I had six of these, which was a bad idea. I got shitfaced and wow, it was great! Great malty flavor. Commercial description is great and right on the nose. Guess why it’s a commercial description.

Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Sep 7, 2008aroma is of honey, earth and malt powder. flavor reminds me of raisin bread or a sticky holiday fruit cake. it’s sweet and malty with a creamy mouth feel. nice light hoppy tea like finish.
