Draft @ Corner Pocket Williamsburg VA: Light aromatics, dirt and bark. Clear garnet, medium beige head. Lightly sweet cherries and cocoa. Dirt finish. Nicely balanced; doppelbocks tend to be too sweet for my taste.

On tap as "Blue Mountain Belgian Black." Aroma was chocolates, touch of caramel, not very hoppy. Flavor was chocolate, dried fruits, notes of nuts. Pretty good, though impossible to find at the moment.

Draft: Weak malt aroma. Clear brown, thin head. Very nutty, slightly piney bitter bite in the end. Rustic and earthy. A "getting back to nature beer". alcohol not noticeable. A very nice brown ale but I don’t sense the character of an old ale as much.

Served on draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a medium creamy white head. Good head retention and lacing. Big bready and doughy aroma with grainy malts, faint fruity notes and caramel. The taste is bready malts, raisins, caramel, toffee and some booziness. Medium-full bodied. Interesting beer.

Bottle thanks to Dan. Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a bit of a musty lager yeast note with a bit of sweet backing grains. Flavor had a combination of grass and sweet malts with a bit of a mustiness in the finish/aftertaste.

Growler pours courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours darkness with tall light mocha head. Very nice looking beer. The aroma is bourbon, oaky wood notes, oaky spiciness, chocolate, black licorice and a touch of yeasty spiciness. The taste is a bit on the bright side with punchy spicy oak moving into bourbon, black licorice, yeasty spices and then growing chocolate notes. Into the finish a mild amount of spicy yeast makes it to the surface.
