May 7, 2008 500 ml bottle. Deep reddish brown colour, light beige head. Strong, sweet aroma of roasted malts. Full and creamy mouthfeel. Roasted malts, dark chocolate and a little coffee in the flavour. Warm and sweet, a bit roasted aftertase. Overall, a very enjoyable beer.

May 2, 2008 500mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Grimsby. Pours a dark brown with a bit of head. Aroma is all malt and sweet. The flavour follows similarly. It’s all malt with a bit of sweetness. Seems appropriate for the style, though it’s not really my thing.

May 1, 2008 The scent is strong and balanced with sweet fruit, dark roasts, chocolate, and oat. A dark amber-brown with off-white head, long-lasting. A slight banana and sweet yeast flavor coupled with a taste that follows the nose: fruits, roasts, and slight chocolate. Complex and delicious, superbly drinkable, and also cheap. Great beer.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours ruby with a mostly receding tan head. Taste of caramelized wort, dark bread, toffee, malty fruits from the caramel. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. An excellent doppelbock that’s not unlike liquid bread.

Apr 22, 2008 Simply excellent! Dark prune-like pour with nice caramello head. Lots of sugar, roasted malts, licorice, cream, some coffee, and dark over-ripe fruits. Thickened with heavy malts leaves it chewy and delicious!.
