nice red-black color with fastly disapearing head, caramel-malty aromas with chocolate, liquor and some vanilla, low-medium CO2, the mouthfeel lasts for a short time, the caramel sticky feel stays.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Uhlen (186) - Trondheim, NORWAY - APR 27, 2013
Deep dark red pour, almost no head. Aroma of dark dried fruit, raisin, prunes, caramel, basement aromas and sherry. Taste is intense and sweet, but the lenght and mouthfeel disappoints. Heavy on the sweet side. I’m getting some licorice, raisin, bubblegum and malts.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 kapusil (280) - HUNGARY - NOV 28, 2012
0.33l bottle. Very dark ruby/black body with a quickly disappearing brown head. Caramel, cherries and reisins in the aroma. Some roastiness and dark fruits in the flavor. Warming alcohol, medium body. It’s like a baltic porter. Decent beer.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Rune (6362) - Tromsř, NORWAY - OCT 11, 2012
330ml bottle with a black neck bought at Csak á Jó Sör in Budapest. Shared with Finn back home at a drinking session. Tiny, fawn-coloured head. The body appearance is black assisted by a deep, ruby shade. Distant roastiness to a vinous kind of aroma, rather dry. Comprehensive taste profile containing black berries, dark malts, wood and anise overlaid by a cherry component. Not overly sweet ending. Balanced and full bodied. Hidden alcohol. Nice, little sipper (Tromsř, 04.10.2012).
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 rosenbergh (4762) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 15, 2012
330 ml bottle. From Budapest, Hungary. Köszönöm Armando!
Black colour with small greyish tan head.
Strong alcohol (not necessarily in a bad way), vinous notes and malt in aroma.
Flavour is quite straight forward with alcohol, dark malt (almost roasted) and sugary sweetness. Some liquorice dryness in aftertaste. I liked the bilberry version (Szent András Könnye) much more. But this is definitely quite decent for a Doppelbock. Quite thin for a one though.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Brandman (1456) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 15, 2012
Black body, very small head.
Aroma of sweet roasted malt, vinous berries and alcohol. Quite thin and watery and way too much alcohol. Bit roasted aftertaste. The bilberry version is way much better.
