jonnycando (14), Troutville, Virginia, USA May 29, 2006 Updated: Jun 1, 2006Attractively dark, malty aroma, and carmelly sweet in flavor offset with nice bitterness. Well carbonated but pours with a short lived head. Good lacing remains clinging to the glass. Pleaseant moderately long lasting finish luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA May 28, 2006 Bottled. Clear, medium-brown color with a small, frothy, off-white, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma was malty with a moderate note of roasted grain, light note of hoppy herb; moderate note of sherry, light note of vanilla and trace notes of spicy alchs and cola. The flavor was moderately sweet, moderately acidic and lightly bitter with a long, lightly bittersweet, lightly acidic finish. The body was medium, the texture was velvety and the carbonation was lively. Moderate alcoholic warmth in the finish. Ernest (4481), Boulder, Colorado, USA May 27, 2006 Bottle.

Pleasant, straightforward. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 24, 2006 Updated: Apr 26, 2006Bottle sampled beer night at my house with Stegosaurus. Pours dark red-amber. Aroma of caramel and bread. Flavor is caramel, carbonated, some bitterness. PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 18, 2006 Cork & Bottle Liquors, Baton Rouge, La. - 12 oz bottle. Light copper appearance, little to no head. Thin for a doppelbock. Sweet, molasses like aroma, some brown sugar and a trace of alcohol in the nose as well. Flavor is sweet, some cherries, some cotton candy. Turns slightly cloying as it warms though. Decently thick mouthfeel. Holds the 8.5% ABV well. dogfishho (172), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA Apr 9, 2006 This beer poured much darker than the photo indicates. This 12oz bottle poured with a thick malty head. The mouthfeel was interesting, lighter than your usual doppelbock. Felt almost like a lager in that department. Flavor was of caramelish malts, almost like the complexity of a belgian. Finish was nice and of medium length. biznizness (930), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Apr 7, 2006 Mmmhmm, very good beer. Sweet flavor, almost reminded me of apple juice. Malty and delish, give this one a try. Gotta get out to Harrisburg to visit this place. LockyVT (5), Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Apr 5, 2006 This is my Favorite Brew. If you like a nice Double Bock, this beer is for you! it has a georgous copper/dark bronze color. has a very nice white head, very full bodied and has a nice malty flavor to it. it has a nice carbonation for a double bock and is smoooooth.
