3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Christian (8548) - Odense, - FEB 6, 2012
On tap at YNWA, Kolding. Hazy chestnut colour with a lasting off-white head. Malty aroma of biscuit and bread crust, with a faint metallic note. Malty sweet flavour with a fruity touch. Slightly thin - lacks the depth of the best doppelbocks, but at least isn’t sweet like the worst.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 EithCubes (3340) - GERMANY - MAY 26, 2012
Swing-top bottle marked 12.09.2012. Nose is somewhat slight, with dark malt and light fruit. Dark ruby brown edging up on light brown, head is tan. Taste much the same as the nose, semi-dry with a thin, vanishing malt presence; very low bitterness (more alcohol showing, in fact) with some earth and dark toffee, but the overall impression is quite mild. Flattish, lifeless medium body. Truth be told, I’m a little disappointed.

Reddish dark brown colour with a medium sized yellowish head, which leaves a thin film behind.
Sweet-toasty nose.
Syrupy and light sticky textured brew escorted by a sweet-tart tasted aroma with molasses, caramel underpainted by alcohol, grassy hops and toasted malt.
The finish is medium to long, sweetbitter and warming with alcohol, toast and citrusses, which leaves a sweetish aftertaste behind.
Good.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Koelschtrinker (7054) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 31, 2011
Stark karbonisierter Antrunk, in dem das Malz fast untergeht. Schlußendlich kommt es hervor, schwächt aber bereits im Mittelteil wieder ab und hinterlässt eine erkennbare klebrige Note. Wenig vollmundig, für einen Doppelbock zu mild. Erst spät kehrt das Malz voller, dafür zu süß zurück, erneut klebrig, nicht überzeugend, da wenigwürzig. Naja... 12/8/7/9/9/9

Reddish amber colour with small white head.
Very Bocky aroma with lots of strong Baltic Lager alcohol and some dissolvent added. Flavour is strong mixture of Bock and alcohol. I don’t dig this.
