Sample at the Decatur Craft Beer Fest. Pours dark brown, with a medium, tan head. The aroma is chocolate, molasses, talc, and some earthy hops. The flavor is very sweet, with just a light bitterness. Heavy body, sticky, and syrupy. Overall, this is a mediocre dopplebock, lacking complex flavor or depth.

Draught @ Galaxy Hut, Arlington, VA. Pours hazy very dark brown with nearly no head at all. CleR aroma of chocolate and malt, as is the taste. Subtle, non-aggressive coffeelike and malty aftertaste. OK.

Poured from a bottle dark chocolate brown with a slight head. The aroma is of sherried wood and tastes of chocolate with sweet overtones that lingers as coffee

From a 12 bottle shared in Avon, NC. Pours a hazy brown with a thick ecru head. Rich caramel malt nose. Very effervescent mouthfeel. Hops kick in big time. Interesting but doesn’t completely work for me.
