wlajwl	2.9 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Aroma is sweet malts, bread and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is sweet caramel malts, bread and more sweetness and some alcohol in the finish. Leans a bit too far in the sweetness. Friday, August 10, 2012

crossovert	1.5 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock This is a failure of a doppelbock. Unbalanced and way too roasty for what the guidelines are. Thursday, August 4, 2011
Garito793	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock This is very drinkable, especially for a dopplebock. The aroma and taste are essentially all caramel Friday, July 8, 2011
wedgie9	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Tasted on 3/2/11 from a 12oz bottle given to me by my roommate, thanks Phil. Pours cloudy brown with just a bit of orange tint, and a thin off-white head that recedes to a thin collar of lace. The nose is sweet malt with a ton of caramel, brown sugar, molasses, and maple, with a bit of basement and earthy aromas. The flavor is more bread malt than sweet components, but there are still maple, brown sugar, and caramel, along with the earthy component. The body is medium with lively carbonation and a long bread malt and earthy finish. Wednesday, March 2, 2011
esjaygee	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Fire red with a murky thin tan head. Aroma is McSticky with toffee, caramel, nuts and dough. Fire up the oven, we’ve got some sweet bread to make. Taste is obviously sweet with toffee, malt, caramel and mild grains. It’s sticky alright. A one trick ponied malt bomb that I tired of before I finished the bottle. Tuesday, August 24, 2010
thegreenrooster	3.8 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with an equally nice dark fruit. Flavor is again an excellent dark fruityness with some sugar and spice. Leaves a little molasses on the tounge after the swallow. This is a soild dopplebock. Saturday, October 24, 2009
wxman	3.4 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Pours a clear dark amber/garnett color with a pretty big fluffy light tan head. Aroma is molasses and sweet roasted malt. Taste is blackstrap molasses, licorice, sweet malt and merlot wine. Quite complex and very good. A tummy warmer for sure. Sunday, October 11, 2009
tmoreau	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Sampled at Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. for a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting. The pour to my wine/sampler glass was amber/brown with a decent, light tan head and clingy lacing. The nose was toasty, a little caramel, and some brown sugar sweetness. The flavor was similar, with some nice, warming alcohol, subtle bitterness, and a smooth, creamy texture to the tongue. A good Doppel. Sunday, October 4, 2009
Finhead	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Deep copper color with a medium tan head that diminishes rather quick. Nose is sweet while both malty and fruity. It has a roasted malt taste with a dry alcohol finish. Monday, September 21, 2009
vyvvy	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Pours deep reddish bronze with a nice dense tan head. The aroma has lots of deep toasted dark malt, thick bread, dark caramel, dates and slight warmth. Medium / thick body with some abv warmth hitting first on the taste and there is minor carbonation. The flavor also has toasted malt, some oxidized traits, somewhat watery, caramel and phenolic spice. The finish packs even more of an alcohol warmth. Okay doppel. Monday, September 21, 2009
kseecs16	3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Bottle. Pours a murky, dirty water dark brown with just a faint whispy off-white head that accumulates and clings to the edge of the glass. Aroma is sweet with some roasty malt character. Very chocolatey deep roast malt flavor. Malt tends toward burnt and astringently bitter but falls just short of that remaining palatable. Full creamy mouthfeel. Thursday, August 20, 2009
Strykzone	3.5 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock A very dark reddish brown pour with a small tan head that ends blotchy. Nose is very fruity with roasted notes and brown sugar. Flavor is roasted notes with a nice hop background. Fruit, malt, biscuit, brown sugar, spice, and late appearing alcohol. A very well done beer that should be a winner for Sand Creek.

TheAlum	3.1 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock 12 oz. bottle from the Binny’s Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL) that had been in the fridge for a long while. Pours a hazed reddish dark copper with moderate tannish head that dissipates to a decent level and laces some. Aromas are largely nice carmel and biscuity malts, some breadiness and brown sugar, light fruit, and very minimal hop bouquet. Initial is medium bodied, a little empty up front, moving to nice toasted biscuity and toffee malts with decent bitterness in the finish. Light brown sugar, maple syrup, and subtle fruitiness show up in the body. Decent enough, just not really something I jump for. Thursday, February 19, 2009
Headbanger	3.6 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock 12oz bottle 2/6/09 (Binny’s Naperville)- Pours a light brown body with a small tan covering that dissipated rather quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, and fruits. Taste of the same with some citrus and slight alcohol on the back end. This full bodied brew is very well balanced and quite tasty especially since I am not a big fan of this style. Friday, February 6, 2009
DrnkMcDermott	3.3 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock 12 oz. bottle. Cellar-cold. Pours a nice brown color with copper/yellow highlights, and a brownish head. Smell is a bit dusty and light in malts that a beer this color should be showing. Taste has quite a bit of grain Malt sweetness over sugar, and only a suggestion of alcohol warmth. Some dried pear and apple, plus a little German hop spice. Starts slow, but gets interesting toward the end. Perhaps this will get interesting as it ages, but this is doing all right now.

JPDIPSO	3.5 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Bright copper color with a moderate taupe head. Toasted malt, caramel and toffee scents. Slightly earthy and a hint of dried floral to herbal hops, but the focus is on the malt where it should be. A sweet grainy start. Moderate body with some light carbonation. Toasted grains and light citric bite. Not a hops component, rather a bit of acetic-ness that creeps in. I’m drinking this at a cool room temperature, so it may be more partial to show a fault. Hints of alcohol show up eventually in the nose and a bit in the finish. Some really good qualities are masked or taken over by some nuances that show no favor to me. I am going to cool one of these off and try again. We’ll see how it changes. This will be the last entry if I feel no update is needed. Thursday, January 29, 2009
jstraw	3.6 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Dark amber with big, foamy tan head / Nose of brown sugar, toffee, and dry hops / Medium body, creamy, with nice balance of sweet, sugary malts with hopping, and with good, very sweet finish / Simple, fresh flavors of burnt sugar, caramel, brown sugar, and raisins / Excessively sweet, but a solid effort.

dm9831	2.6 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock bronze colored, medium tan head, some lacing. mildly malty nose, touch of dried fruit. malty, fruity flavor, bordering on vinous. medium bodied, dry finish. too one dimensional to be entertaining. i think cornfield gave me this bottle. Friday, January 2, 2009
RAYBOY01	3.2 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Attractive dark brown pour, fairly easily seen through, topped by an equally attractive and substantial off-white head that lingers. The nose was pretty sweet, almost sickly so. The flavor was sweet carmel malt, dark fruits, raisins, and an unusually prominant earthy hop bite (unusual for the style, anyways). Not bad, but the sweetness does tend toward the cloying end of the scale a bit too much for my liking. Saturday, December 20, 2008
Cornfield	2.7 Fox DeLuxe Discombobulator Doppelbock Picked up at the Binny-apostrophe-s Beverage Depot in Orland Park, IL. This beer was contract brewed by Sand Creek Brewing for Fox DeLuxe in Oswego, IL. Sand Creek can do better than this. Looks nice, a clear brownish amber body with a tall and creamy ecru head. The aroma is basically just caramel, albeit a very candy-ish caramel. The flavor sees the edition of light toasty grains and an earthy bitterness. Once was enough. Sunday, December 14, 2008
