[1] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/27/2008 11:31:05 PM)
"Sampled on 11/27/2008. This doppel bock pours a dark brown color form a 50cl swing top bottle. Small to medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is toasted malt, caramel and cookie. A medium bodied doppelbock. The malts are caramel, fruity and semi sweet. The hops are floral and earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. This one starts out fairly sweet and finishes slightly crisp and dry. Nice doppelbock. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. "

[2] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/22/2008 1:57:59 PM)
"Aroma is grainy and sweet with some dark prunes and maltiness. Appearance is a rich reddish amber in color with a full head on top that is tan in color and diminishes to a thin lacing on the glass. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with malty sweet complexity as well as some muted hoppy balance with a palate that is well-rounded. Flavor is of dark fruits and plum with an aftertaste that is weizenbock-esque and has a finish that is tasty and smooth. Overall, very good German Doppelbock."

[3] Review by OrvalPlease from Orland Park, IL, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/7/2008 12:00:16 PM)
"Nice deep brown color with a foamy, tawny head - very attractive. One of the few beers you just sit and stare at awhile because it looks so nice. Very little in the way of aroma, nothing offensive, but nothing going on there - bland, generic beer smell. Rich malt and yeastiness up front are OK, but the finish and aftertaste are of astringent, bitter alcohol. Almost tastes like it's been laced with gin. This beer is not so hot IMO. Glad I didn't opt for the magnum at Binnys."

"poured from a swing top bottle very dark with a thick off white beige head that thins out quickly a very ripe fruit that is very dominant the flavour is very fruity with a dominant almost banana flovor i think the nuts and spice are hinted in the flavor but definitely not what i expected a little thin for what i was expecting with a light carbonation decent brew but not at all what i expected "

[5] Review by zythum from union city, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/2/2008 6:35:07 PM)
"Poured a dark brown color from a flip top bottle. Medium off white head that disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet, fruity with a hint of spice. Tastes like it smells. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy. Nothing stands out, just a solid beer."
