12oz bottle. Deep ruby red-brown, with a patchy off-white head. Sweet alcohol-laced malty aroma, some solid Oak coming through. What a great combination of tastes, the sweetness of the Doppelbock with smoky woodiness of the Oak. Comes off almost like a strong vanilla Rauchbier. Solid vanilla notes. Inventive and delicious.

12 oz bottle purchased at Olive or Twist in Platte City, Missouri. January 2009 notched on the label. Pour is hazed golden orange with a one inch off white head. Good lacing coats the glass. Nice looking. Aroma of toasty earthy maltiness with sweet fruit hoppiness present behind that. A bit of woody resin in there as well. Taste is big caramel malt out of the gate, tempered a bit by the resin hops and sweet fruit. Caramel is present in the back. Palate is low carbonation, medium bodied, coats the mouth nicely. Overall a nice take on a style I like.

Pour is a weird looking red with a small white head. Aroma is not very berry with just some sweetness coming through. Flavor is about the same. I get almost no berry just a syurpy sweetness that coats the tounge. This is not good and i think girls who like "fruity" beers would not even like this.

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joes in Pittsburgh PA this beer poured a black-brown color with a trace of a tan head. The aroma was nutty, woody and malty. The flavor was bitter, nutty and slightly roasty with a sour fruity undertone. The finish was long with sour nut and fruit. The beer was pretty flat and a bit syrupy. Ok.
