Single bottle, 99 cents at Binny’s (!) July 2010. Got too many cellarable doppelbocks staring at me when I want something for the holiday weekend, so this one seems ready for sacrifice. Pours nearly black, slight brown highlights where possible. Thin tan head that fizzes for a while, then settles to a small parfait layer. Deep malty nose with a bit of grain, but otherwise mellowed out with age. Taste is a nice thick malt bomb. No roast to it, with alcohol in the form of, perhaps, Kahlua. Chocolate-covered cherries. Bananas Foster. All sorts of good things, mostly fruity esters, go into this malt. Then there’s a slight roastiness to the follow, but less than you’d expect from this black brew.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and fruit, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazed brown body underneath a creamy tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and apple. Taste is cinnamon toast, toffee, caramel, brandy, smoke, fruit and a bit of burnt malt. Tingly, sparse bubbles.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of pepsican. Clear, warm orangey brown with a dense beige head. Fat aroma of roasted malt and pumpernickel. Solid body with plenty of roasted malt, burned caramel and pumpernickel. Basically no hops in the finish. A pleasant drink. 201008

Probably Sand Creek’s best product. Grain and caramel aroma. Flavor has molassas and caramel, and a sort of meaty, grain quality of a German doppelbock. Medium palate. Dark brown. Enjoyable. Thanks Joe.

Gift from notalush, thanks Brandon. Pours a thick hazed brown color with small quickly dissipating head. Aroma is very thick alcohol raisin black bread with lots dark fruit sweetness. A whole lot, sweet off the bat. Some black bread crust as well. Very strong and rather "in your face" kind of a beer. Taste is strong as well with over ripened dark fruits and brown sugar. The finish is sweet lager, weird, its clean yet sweet. In general the parts are not bad but it does not come together for me. It seems to strong for a lager and too sweet. I don’t dislike it but it just does not come together well as a whole.
12oz twist off bottle with no date in Regenboog chalice.

Medium brown beer, with a creamy off-white head that fades fast - fairly sweet aroma of caramel, toffee, raisin, date, rum, toasted bread, alcohol - not nearly as sweet as the aroma suggests, and actually gets a little tart and bitter at the end - strong date and raisin flavor, light cherry and caramel, slight doughy character, a little nuttiness - the alcohol is completely masked, so much so that I doubted it’s strength until I got near the end and could feel it - a little bit of warmth on the back end makes it even more plausible - this is one solid doppel, and a well-balanced one for the strength.
