Commercial Description:
"Christmas Beer" in Dutch, our traditional European-style "Doppelbock" or strong lager, is rich and complex in character. With a sweet caramel palate and aroma, deep brandy colour and a dry, warming finish, it is typical of specialty festive beers brewed in the lowland countries of Europe around Christmas time.

Bottle from clarkvv. Medium amber color with off white foamy head.Nose is nutty, caramel, sweet malt. Flavor is spicy, cranberry tartness and fairly smooth.

On tap at Smokeless Joe. Deep brown in colour. Aroma was or caramel malt, some alcohol and was quite sweet. A caramel sweetness dominated the flavour up front, floral hops becoming noticable in back. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body, light carbonation. Finishes with a light bitterness. Meh.

Ruby bodied, very small off white head. Aroma is sweetly fruity and malty. Flavour is a bit odd, nutty, hints of leafy raspberry. Sweetly alcoholic with a sharp finish. Bit rough. Average, medium bodied palate. Disappointing. Thanks for the delivery Pootz/Sammy.

Deceptively smooth for an 8.2% beer. Expected it to be a little bolder considering it is a Dopplebock. Deep mahogony color, sweet malty flavor with a somewhat dry but not clean finish. Bought this at the Amsterdam brewery in Toronto; well worth the visit if you are in town. cheers!

A surprisingly good brew by this brewery and by far the highest I have rated anything by them as well as a top 10 Ontario brewed. Nice brown amber colour with suds and works. A yeasty nutty real chocolate and sweet spicey understated aroma. Some good yeast and it all works. Nothing soapy here. Medium mouthfeel. Thanks Pootz/Pootzboy.
