Deep ruby red brew that keeps frothy, with specialty malts dominating the aroma.
Flavor of malts, caramel blend with hops to create a balanced profile that's interestingly pleasing and insists on another sip. Full bodied great taste this beer is truly a memorable experience.

Bottle purchased at Finger Lakes Beverage Center in Ithaca, NY.

This one pours a ruddy crimson brown, with a small quarter foamy head, and not a whole lot of lacing.

This one smells pretty malty and bock-y, with some brown sugar, brown bread, and a bit of fruity lager yeast.

This is certainly not the most complicated or complex beer. It's biggest achievement is how smooth it drinks for the 10% ABV- you would know it's a "triple bock" at all. There's a good amount of brown sugar and toffee here, and distinct toasted brown bread flavors, along with some fruity esters from the lager yeast. It all melds together decently well. No flavor stands out that strongly, though- I wish one of the flavors popped a little more.

This is medium bodied, with a crisp and bready mouthfeel, and a moderate level of carbonation. This one goes down very very easily for the ABV.

One of the better beers made in this area of my state. This is definitely worth a shot.

My bottle says "Reserve Trippelbock", but I think this is the same beer. No vintage or freshness information on the label. I thought their doppelbock was just okay, so I opened this without too much excitement.

This was a clear, dark, ruby tinted chestnut color. It poured with a relatively short lived, medium sized head. Wonderful aromas of nutty sweet bread, toffee, rich chocolate cake batter, and dates waft from the glass. Very little alcohol for a 10% abv. What a pleasure to sip and ponder! Rich and chocolaty overall without being overly sweet. I found notes of toffee, figs or dates, nuts, and sweet bread. The finish was an amazing, dry cocoa tingle with just a trace of bracing warmth. This was gently carbonated and full-bodied.

What a treat! What a surprise! What a disappointment that I only bought one bottle! This does not drink like a 10% doppelbock, it drinks like a well made German version with more typical for the style abv levels. High praise indeed. I am so glad I got tot try this amazing brew.
