3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled, 500ml from Booth’s of Longton, Lancs. Chestnut with white head. Initial flavour is a touch of the old wet carpet, some herbiness perhaps, this then develops through a caramel, fruity flavour into full blown sweetness. Toffee. raisins, plums and sugar in the close. A little too sweet for me.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 8.0%. Now, an ENGLISH doppelbock, that’s not something I see every day! Medium brown colour, not as dark as i expected (the bottle was very dark). Medium sized off-white head. Distinctly malty aroma with loads of caramel, also notes of brown bread and pastry, hints of dark dried fruits. Soft and pleasant mouthfeel, relatively light bodied for an 8% doppelbock. The flavour is malty with caramel again, sweet, but not TOO sweet. There is also a nice fruitiness that helps making the beer very drinkable. Moderate hops in the finish. Maybe not the greatest doppelbock in the world, but definitely a beer I’d buy again.

(jan11) clear chestnut brown beer with a slightly old taste and to mutch alkohol. aroma is nothing special and is way to malted for my taste.
I will give this another try, when i find a little more fresh one.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
Smells and tastes very fruity, yet has a lingering taste of a cosy warm coal fire place. Tick and treacly in the mouth. Excellent
