Commercial Description:
Christian Moerlein Doppelbock is brewed in accordance with Germany's Reinheitsgebot Purity Law of 1516. What makes Doppelbock most enjoyable is its rich, full body, which is superbly balanced for smoothness. It will be appreciated for its robust malt and carmel characteristics. Enjoy its smooth, velvety taste and you will agree that it is Quite Simply a Better Doppelbock.
Christian Moerlein

Dark red / brown in color. Head is an off-white, thick and rocky. Delicious malt flavors abound. Sweet maltiness dominates, as one would expect from a strong bock beer. This one is satisfying and doesn’t disappoint. The perfect springtime companion. One of the better bock beers available in the region at any price.

Cloudy brown color with ruby highlights. Cream-colored head. Strong aroma of caramel and bread. Taste of caramel, bread, some chocolate. Nice beer.

Bottle thanks to jsquire. Poured a cloudy deep brown color with a moderate beige head that diminished to a ring. Aroma of brown sugar, biscuits, and light fruit. Sweet brown sugar and caramel entry leads into a smooth finish with fruity undertones, namely apple, and possibly a hint of plum. Pretty creamy and smooth. Simple, but a nice doppelbock that is easy to drink. Thanks Jeff.

Bottle. Aroma bready and caramel. Poured a dark brown. Flavor was toasted malts and grassy hops. Palate was sticky and sweet. Overall, okay just not one I’d seek out again.

Not a bad Dopple Bock (nowhere near the level of Celabrator or Paulaner). Nice aroma of toasted chocolate and caramel malts.
