3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber to clear chestnut beer, clear, under a small, fast dwindling greyish tan head; Little nose, actually, bit of dark malts. Sweet, caramel, toffee, autumn leaves, raisins. Finish is actually like a raisinsyrup for waffles, diluted. Less syrupy in texture than in taste, aftertaste has actually some hopbitterness, feels better carbonated than it looks. Too sweet by half, unless in the aftertaste. Not exactly the best of Doppelbocks.
