[bottle] Pours a dark brown color, very clear, with a dense and clingy off-white foam. Impressive. Dense malt aromas, some sugary sweetness. Flavors are very malty, chocolate and fruity esters. Plum, raisin and dark fruit. Very complex. Finishes with some lingering malt character and a good spicy, herbal bitterness. Outstanding.

Bottle. Thanks BrianK for sharing this bottle, drank side by side with celebrator doppelbock to make my final decision on my favorite. Pours dark brown with creamy off white tan head. sweet malted caramel and chocolate. The verdict, andecher by a hair.

I don’t normally drink doppelbocks, but this is just fantastic. After pouring a 0.5 L bottle into a chalice, the smell of dark fruits, coffee and freshly baked bread is immediately apparent. The appearance is dark, ruby-brown, almost cola-like with a small creamy, khaki head. Taste has wonderful hints of caramel, figs and brown sugar. Very complex. It’s a "chewy" beer, yet incrediably smooth. Basically zero taste of alcohol, which is amazing, considering the 7.1 % abv. Be careful with this one, it will catch up with you very quickly! It has a surprising amount of carbonation, which makes for great drinkability. This is an outstanding beer, brewed by one of the last remaining monastic breweries in Germany. A must try!
