rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Apr 8, 2007 Strong sweet malt aroma hints of fruit. Dark amber color with not much of a head. Lots of sweetness with this one. Creamy mouth feel. bmurray (20), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 4, 2007 On tap at... Houlihans (a chain resturaunt) ? Very dark red with a small beige head. A toasty dark fruit aroma. I can taste some cherry and raisin, along with the roasted malts. Barely any sign of the alcohol until the Whiskey/Scotch aftertaste. Very good levels of carbination and a very unique flavor. padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Apr 1, 2007 12 oz bottle thanks to dmac621. Poured a deep brown with a small head. I enjoyed my first double bock. I tasted raisins and caramel. Leaves a good taste. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Apr 1, 2007 12 oz bottle shared with padrefan98. Brown beer with a smallish head that dissapeared quickly. Caramel and toffee aromas. Very maltyand sweet Flavors were very similar with some roastiness and dark fruits. Pretty good. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Mar 25, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of bubblegum and sweet malt. Good mouthfeel and body. Flavor is similar to smell but with some vanilla, not too strong, with a nice roasted/bitter finish. drpimento (785), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Mar 24, 2007 Poured a modest light tan head that quickly subsided. No lace. Odd hazy dark amber brownish color. Nose is malty, beery. Flavor is malty with a bit of carmel and honey. Pleasant sweet finish. Thanks Paul B for this bottle. jlf278 (250), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Mar 19, 2007 I absolutely loved this beer. 12 oz. - dark amber, not like picture, with just a bit of foam. Full, round and smooth. Tastes like caramel, chocolate and grapefruit. Not cloying to me, just delicious with no hints to its 8.2% abv. Pretty inexpensive too Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA Mar 10, 2007 bottle-thanks to vyvvy for picking this one up for me back on his fall eastern trip. ok, im going to make this rating quick. This is a sweet and almost cloying doppelbock. Im not a fan of this style, but this is a decent american version of this style-lots of sweet, carmel and fruity malts here. really, thats about it. very velvety body, which adds to the experience. my notes for this beer suck, so im just going to put this down.
