Nice color, with minimal head. Smells sweet, but not like syrup, sweet like cheap beer. Taste is of cereal, honey, leather, brown sugar, and blood. Body is a smidge thin, and there is a notable absence of alcohol in the taste, something I’ve come to expect in a doppelbock.

Jun 2, 2008 Ruby red, with beige head. Looks amazing! I get deep maple tastes and some very ripe fruit. Can not get over the looks. Wow!

May 31, 2008 Beautiful appearance, no head whatsoever but beautiful none the less. The flavor is decent. Complex overall yet not my preference for a dopple bock. Truely well brewed.

May 26, 2008 A dark amber to almost brown apperance. The aroma contains some raisin bread with some other dark fruits and chocolate. The flavor contains some plums, cherries, caramel, and maple. Kind of surprised to not see it rated higer. Overall a nice beer.

May 22, 2008 Dark amber body with a yellowish khaki head. The aroma is really malt with some black tea and peaches. There are also some notes of alcohol. The taste has some sweet bananas and cinnamon. There is also a little bit of leather. A little thick in the mouthfeel.
