UPDATED: MAR 5, 2023 A deep dark brown bock with a thick frothy creamy lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark coffee, light mineral notes, herbaceous character, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with light coffee notes, light cereals, light vanilla, pleasant and smooth.

UPDATED: SEP 16, 2021 Pours clear dark ruby amber with a one finger, light tan head. Aroma is caramel, coffee and dried fruit. Taste is rich caramel and raisin, moving to coffee and roasted malt. Finish is caramel, raisin and coffee. Good doppelbock.

Hazy dark amber color with light brown head. Aroma is really malty with a bit of caramel and coffee notes. Taste starts also malty with a bit of coffee but it’s not a pleasant coffee taste, it’s somehow bitter and stale. Slightly on the sweet side, just slightly roasty and bitter on the finish. Body is quite light and effervescent and the alcohol is quite present. Not bad but not really my type of beer.

Lahev: Cloudy, amber coloured, smaller lacy off-white head; solid coffeeish and roasty nose, nutty and caramelly, too, accompanied by tannic and port-vinous aromas; dryish bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, quite soft; lingering - again - dryish coffeeish and vinous and bitter-malty finish. Very, very good…

bottle - at olbaren. dark amber with a bit of a haze and a lingering head; aroma of half-roasted coffee bean, grainy notes; decent caramel sweetness, some earthy spice and medium bitter finish

Vierte ámbar con abundante cabeza de espuma y buena retención; aromas a cuero, caramelo, malta tostada y ligero café; en boca entrada media y licorosa con notas dulces, ciruelas y pasas y especias; cuerpo y carbónico medios en un estilo alemán con un toque de café; pos gusto largo, maltoso y dulce bien balanceado, aunque hay un sabor no reconocido que resulta un tanto extraño.

Bottle (BBF 01.10.14). Dark amber with a large beige head. Sweet aroma of plums, dates, cocoa, caramel and coffee. Flavour is sweet with notes of plums, cocoa and coffee. Some bitterness, but the finish is mostly coffee and plums. Vinous with an intense aroma and a highly drinkable beer.

12 oz bottle pours brown with a off white head. Aroma of coffee and some malts. Taste is coffee and a hint of caramel.

Four pack courtesy of Katie. Smell is really nice. Coffee is intense. Appearance is burnt caramel. Very crisp flavor profile, I guess I don’t drink much lager. Coffee is underwhelming. the head sticks around forever, which I like.
