Pours amber with a brown head. Aroma is very sweet. Some caramel and dark fruits in the flavor. Had with a Ayinger Celebrator and was still impressed.

Pours a very dark amber/ chestnut brown color with thin tan head hthat settles into thin lace. Nice roasted chocolate, malty aroma. Roasted malty flavor that lasts throughout, with hints of chocolate, caramel, chestnut and licorice. Very well-balanced and quaffable with a bitter sweet dry hoppy finish.

Dark ruby/amber and a small, creamy, off white head. Flavor and aroma of caramel, toffee, cocoa powder, roasty malt, earth, subtle ash, biscuits, lightly bitter hops- hops stronger in flavor than aroma. Full body, smooth. Excellent doppelbock.

Thanks to Rich for this one. 12 oz. bottle poured a deep red color with no head. Sweet mixed-berry and pear aroma with just a hint of the alcohol as well. Pretty complex aroma! Wow, the aroma got me excited about this one and it delivers! This is one incredibly smooth, easy drinking brew. Doughy and honey flavors with a smokey touch at the end of it. I’m impressed with this beer. My only complaint is that the great flavors dont stick around too long, so I want to take this one down fast but I want to enjoy it at the same time!

12oz bottle from Lush Wine and Spirits. Pours a clear, very pretty amber-ruby colored body with a finger-width, frothy, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is really nice. Sweeter caramels with a touch of smoke, dark fruits and cherries, nuts, grassy hops, maple, a light honey-bread, and a touch of toast. Flavor is similar. Rich and lightly toasted caramels, a soft cocoa, grassy hops, smoke, nuts, raisins, dark fruits, maple, bread, a hint of roast, and some toffee. Finishes dry with a light-medium hop bitterness, roast, a touch of smoke, and a nice dark fruity caramel to balance. Lengthy aftertaste following a smooth, clean, medium body and soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a very impressive doppelbock. Extremely well balanced and easy drinking. Solid, rich caramel maltiness with no cloying sweetness, a touch of bready toast and toffee, a pleasant dark fruitiness, some smoke and roast, and a nice hop presence to dry things out. Loved this one.

isnt that a great description by the way haha..a maple and honey aroma quite strong and strangely pleasant too..nice clear red with a brown tinge..foamy off white head plenty of lacing..tatse is sweet and fruity and complex..plums amybe prunes raisins vanilla spicinessand roasty malts..strong and flavor ful..full body and texture a bit oily and sticky overall a nice maltbomb from a brewery that basically specializes in hop bombs

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2007 Clear mahogany with a medium head. Aroma of toasted nuts and whole grain bread. Taste is rounded out by plenty of toffee and some tart cherries. Slightly bitter hop finish. Medium+ body. Outstanding doppelbock.

Draft at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Sweet nutty malt aroma. Deep amber stained-glass color. Rich and sweet, malty. Excellent example of an American Bock beer. Rich, with lots of fruity yeast nuances. Excellent. Props to Victory.

Poured into a nonic, this dark amber beer is cloudy and forms a modest 1 finger head of tan suds. Dissipates quickly into nothingness, no lacing. Smells of toffee and booze primarily. Lots of toastiness in this one. Brown sugar, toffee, and caramel provide the sweetness, roasty malt evens it out a bit. No alcohol in the taste. Kinda low on carbonation and a tad thin bodied for the style. Kinda sticky in the mouth. Pretty sweet and rich drink, perfect for winter. Easy to drink.

Pours a clear dark amber/mahogany with a quickly fading tan head... aroma is sweet w notes of caramel and brown sugar dominating the malt forward nose... flavor is not as sweet but definitely malt forward, good flavor, some dryness, medium to medium full bodied, very drinkable... lingering sticky finish...
