3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20A malt forward aroma with hints of dark fruit. A translucent dark brown pour with a mostly none existent off-white head. Taste is sweet with some toasted malt and bready notes. Medium bodied with minimal carbonation. Overall, not the taste bomb some double blocks are, but very drinkable and enjoyable.

12oz bottle in a stem glass. Pours brown with a light beige head. Aroma of caramel and nutty malts with hints of toffee and chocolate plus light hops. Flavor the same. Average texture. A decent beer, but not the best of the style.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours bright mahogany into a stem glass. Off white head recedes leaving no lacing to coat surface. Plum and chocolate aromas. Soft with chocolate-covered pit fruit front to back. Thin lasting dusty finish.
4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 fl oz / 355mL bottle into a pint glass. Served cool.
Aroma: Hazelnut, cocoa, basically this smells like Ferrero Rochers smell. Awesome stuff!
Appearance: Translucent red/orange. Even with an aggressive pour, no real head.
Taste: Hazelnut, coffee, dark, dark chocolate. Some fruit. A mild soy sauce-y flavor. Bittersweet.
Palate: Rich. Medium body; nice presence, but not oppressive. Flavors linger a little bit.
Overall: A lot better than what I was expecting! Really nice aroma and flavors going on here; not your typical caramel-y / malty doppelbock. The 8% abv creeps up on you! Really enjoyed this one.

2nd bottle at the Circle D. Pours a clear amber with minimal head that quickly dissipates. Prominent roasted malt and mild caramel notes. A little boozy. Moderate carbonation, medium bodied. Mildly sweet up front with mild bitterness in the finish. Pretty good dopplebock.

At circle d in bottle. Clear dark red brown. Nose is subdued. Dark sugar dominated by brown sugar. Palate is better. Rich and layered. Mmmm.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Dark copper color, clear, small head. Telltale doppelbock aroma, astringent, rich, complex. Still doesn’t beat my "Paulaner Salvator", primarily because it’s a little too bitter, and it’s not warm enough despite the high alcohol content. Alcoholic, toffee, malty, slightly sweet. Beginning taste is very good, but the aftertaste isn’t awesome. Decent, though...I’m partial to this style.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
18 mar 2013, bottle. Light orange, clear, steady bubbles. Nose is copper malt, wet bread, alcohol. Thin/med bodies and moderately fizzy. Bready and sugary maple syrup, some toast and dry malt powder.
