Style: Doppelbock
, USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Stein, Stem glass

Draft at BJ’s Reno. Clear garnet color with a light tan head. Nice sweet malt aroma with some plum notes. Grainy malt flavor, pretty hot.

5oz sample BJ’s Cupertino, CA - Bartender told me the tap is 60% CO2 and 40% NO2 - Aroma is doughy yeast, mild spice and a touch of lemon. Pours mud puddle brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is also very doughy with a touch of citrus tartness and spice. Palate is creamy and a little tart. A non-offensive easy drinkin brew.

The body’s a clear dark brown capped by a slender white head. Nice roasty aroma with caramel and a touch of toffee. Smooth to drink, roasted and sweet with just a tgouch of earthy/herbal bitterness to keep it in balance. Not bad.

Draught at the brewpub, Plano TX
Dark brown color, thin persistent head. Aroma of roasted malt. Smooth taste, with a good balance of caramel and roasted malt, the final as well is quite velvety and balanced. A good Stout, more than a Bock.

Orangey malty aroma, very sweet, also with hints of caramel. Cloudy like a hefe, medium brown body, with very little head. Sugary and clove flavors, with little hops to balance it. VERY sweet - I had to think for a while what I was tasting, and then I realized, the major flavor was exactly like Juicyfruit bubble gum.

Caramel, chocolate aroma. Ruby brown body with no head. Heavily malted, big caramel taste. Decent doppelbock. A hint of fruit in the background.
