micronaut129 (33) - chalfontborotowntonville, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 20, 2012
Pours a deep nearly opaquee chestnut brown that when held to light has a beet purple high lights.Sitting on top you’ll find pretty tall dense fluffy cloud of foam. Carb’s were a bit average. Aroma is rich and malty with some candied sugar, dark fruits, molasses, licorise. Taste is of robust malts, some roasted, fruits candied plums, chocolate and pumpernickel. Very smooth and easy drinking, clean and soft on the palette. An excellent, excellant beer

monkeychugg55 (699) - Joliet, Illinois, USA - MAY 17, 2012
Dark reddish brown with a tiny head that doesn’t last. Roasty aroma with dark fruit, nuts, and caramel. Bold flavor which is similar to the aroma, with some lingering sweetness. Full body with soft carbonation. Very complex and enjoyable. Great doppelbock.

AndresTM (185) - Texas, USA - MAY 15, 2012
Sharp, estery aroma of dark fruits (plums, figs), a bit of booze, sapote, raisins, yeasty undertones, and dark malts. It pours a see-through, dark brown with a big, fizzy head that deflates quickly. The palate is sleek and smooth. The taste is like the aroma, only with a more pronounced roasted character. Tasty and balanced.

Tap at doner - I forgot to write my review at the time, but I enjoyed the meatiness of the dobbelbock. Went perfectly with the brat I had at Mai Fest.

MmmcKay (891) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - MAY 7, 2012
Dark brown pour with a very light head. Doesn’t look overly impressive. Smells like a malt heavy brew with some pleasant spice and caramel. Tastes good. Not a malt bomb at all. Refreshing. Good palate. Not heavy. Almost light for a doppelbock but I like it. Pretty easy to drink. I prefer a bigger style, but this is pretty freaking good.
