zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Jun 12, 2006 Bottle. At the Thunderbird Cafe in Lawrenceville, PGH. Pours dark amber with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is raisins, caramel, molasses, and a hint of lemon. Tastes of malt, caramel, and sour dough. Not bad, but I’d prefer a bigger body and a little bit of bitterness. BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 8, 2006 12-oz. bottle from artusory. Pours deep mahagony with a small light tan frothy head that mostly dissipates. Aroma is nutty and medium roasted caramel malts (meal, cereal) with hay and straw notes. Mild bitterness and acidity, medium sweet caramel malt, finish is dry and spicy, faint alcohol notes. Medium bodied and creamy palate that ends dry and spicy. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 5, 2006 Sampled at Mondial 2006. Teh body was a dark copper with a medium yellowish colored head. The sweet aroma had honey and some old leather tofee. The taste is solid with toffee and caramel. There was also iced tea and apple core. The body was light with low carbonation wxman (582), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jun 4, 2006 Pours a bright amber with a decent off white head that rings the glass. Aroma is wet bread and yeast with sweet malt. Flavor is buttery sweet roasted malt, maple syrup and caramel along with a flowery hoppiness. Very tasty; 8.2% ABV nearly goes unnoticed. Good stuff! eaglefan538 (2355), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Jun 2, 2006 Ok, this is no Ayinger, but it was enjoyable. Perhaps a bit too sweet and lacking in thickness (mouthfeel), this one still had a nice flavor. Was bready malty and the alcohol was hard to pick up at 8%. In between the pale and dark doppelbocks out there. Fairly priced for the quality. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada Jun 2, 2006 Robe brune légèrement voilée sans mousse. Arômes de caramel et d’alcool. Saveurs de caramel, de levure et d’alcool. stison42 (318), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Jun 2, 2006 Updated: Jan 22, 2007Amber and smooth. A very good malty beer with some oaty hints. The best Troegs has to offer. spkldhenlvr24 (446), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA May 30, 2006 Nice beer. Pours a brown body with a reddish tint. Medium biege head, diminshing but had left a little ring and some good lacing. Sweet, dark fruity, brown sugar aroma. Sweet, cherry flavor with some good molasses notes. Warming but thinner finish. Very enjoyable beer.
