Draft. Pours very dark w/minimal head. Some nut, malt, coffee. Not a great flavor, kind of watery, not a lot of pop for a doppelbock.

Tap at sly fox. Rich and chocolate heavy. Bready, delicious. Quite drinkable for the ABV. Deep brown black body. Good.

On draft at the Mad Fox Maibock Festival 2014. Pours a clear cola brown with an ecru head. Roasted nuts in the nose. Flavors tend to the sweet side, with raisin and caramel. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. Slight sweet finish with some lingering roasty notes.

Draft. Hazy amber color. Very malty, but not overly sweet, with a toasted caramel start and a bitter edge.

Immediate carbonation explosion upon opening. Poured dirty brown. Aroma is rotten vegetable soup. Taste is sour malt and vegetable. May have been a defective bottle.

22 ounce bottle from New Beer Distributors in Manhattan. Pours a dark ruby red color with a medium head. Average head retention and lacing. I find the aroma to be quite odd... prunes, raisins, soap, caramel. Taste is dark fruits, toffee, bread, anise. Smooth, medium bodied. This one is pretty much all over the place, but still fairly decent.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur rubis foncé et claire. Nez malté de caramel aux notes rôties et terreuses, léger de pain et de biscuits, fruité (raisins, prunes), léger de houblon herbeux et avec des notess de noix et de sucre brun. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse (faibles notes sirupeuses). Goût de levures fruitées (raisins sucrés, moyen de prunes, traces de dates) accompagné de petites notes boisées (bois humide) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee foncé, moyennement rôti et légèrement terreux ainsi que des notes de sucre brun, de pain et de biscuits. Parallèlement, lon retrouve un léger goût dalcool réchauffant en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée et en finale lon retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (notes dherbes mouillées) avec des notes de noix. Post-goût moyen, moyennement amer de rôti, moyen de houblon herbeux, léger dalcool ainsi qu un goût de levures fruitées (moût de raisins, pleures de prunes) et des traces de noix.

Pours a translucent deep brown with a white head that faded completely rather quick. Aroma is strange and not very inviting. The good: maple syrup and caramel. The bad: teriyaki sauce and smoke. The flavor is alright, good enough to save this bomber from a drain pour: malty, sugary, caramel, grain and biscuit. Finish is a little thick but drinkable. Not a beer that looks or smells great, but the proof is in the pudding and the strong doppelbock flavor makes this beer decent.
