| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 20, 2006 (16 oz. bottle via trade with Degarth, thanks Joe!) Pours dark tea brown with about 1/2’’ of biege head that recedes to about 1/8" and stays. Aroma of molasses, raisins and brown sugar. Mouthfeel smooth but also dryish and fizzy. Nice lacing. Flavor is moderately sweet brown sugar maltiness with a touch of cherry in the finish. Also has that hint of smokiness in the finish like Optimator that I love. Flavor is also rather thin though - not enough there to make this a really good doppel. TerryR (383), Oswego, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2006 Deep brown color with nice mahogany highlights. Tan head quickly faded away but leaves nice lacing. Aroma is nutty and sweet. More sweet malt flavor. Smooth body. Easy to drink and a very nice beer, but not quite up there with the best in the category. merlin2310 (8), Israel does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 8, 2006 it is a very tasty and sronk beer. it goes to the head and I have to fart like a motherf**** the next day but still no headdakes unless I didnt get enough sleep(less 10 hours) and have a math exam the next day. ver good beer and I dont just say that because I am born in Nürnberg ;-) I really mean it. patrick767 (2019), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2006 Updated: Jul 16, 2007pint bottle - Dark brown with a thin head and a substantial malty aroma. This beer is full bodied with light carbonation for a soft, smooth mouthfeel. The malts dominate the flavor, but aren’t overdone. The finish is lightly bitter and rather nice though there is some lingering alcohol. As another recent reviewer said, perhaps this beer is kind of one dimensional. I found it very enjoyable nonetheless. henrikb (1303), Aarhus, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 24, 2006 Brown body, big bubbled beige head, with an oily like shine; Very pleasant, a little caramel like nose, velvet soft but quite 1-dimensional; The liquid beer is very softly textured in itself, but the carbonation of which there is only very little is a bit sharp, balanced but a bit neutral; Quite long pleasant soft finish, a little late bitterness and a little complexity in the aroma. Very pleasant, very drinkable but way to simple. dkoonce (884), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
