Bottle: Amber coloured, mid-sized, quite stable off-white head, strong sweet fruity (dark dried berries) and dark-malty to caramelly nose; smooth MF, quite strong sweet flavour, combined with a light bitterness; traces of medical hops in the sweet-fruity and malty finish. A goody, not too sweet and well balanced........ Thanks to joss for this gem ! German sample #2000........

50 cl bottle. Rated on 02.02.2010
Dark brown colour, disappearing head. Aroma is rather rich with sweetish malt, some coffee and chocolate. Flavour is sweet with lots of malt. Decent.

bottle, bought at the brewery. Clear deep brown colour, large beige head. Full-bodied, lovely malty base with lots of caramel, forest honey, chocolate, dark berries... and a shy hoppy touch in the lingering finish. Delicious.

The bottle looks very good, beer in the glass dark, but not black, nice head. Starts strong, intense malty, modest smoky. A bit sourish, which is unusual for a doppelbock. Well balanced finish, warming-malty, quite drinkable. A good one!

(bottle) Clear, chestnut-brown colour with a light-beige mid-sized foamy head. Sweet and slightly toasty malty aroma with ethereally herbal notes Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid malty base with light notes of caramel and a distinctive herbal touch; sweet malty finish with a subdued bitterness. 31.X.07

UPDATED: AUG 9, 2009 500ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki)
Simple sweet mashy husky aroma, pretty subdued. Sweet and sticky bock taste. At first I thought it was again a bit dull, but in contrast with some very silly hoppy Mikkeller IPAs, and after those, this was deliciously malty, with nice dry woodiness. Again at first this felt boozy, but after the dreadful Mikkellers, that feeling disappeared too. Certainly not a brilliant doppelbock compared with the best, but a tasty strong bock, heading towards ESL.

(Bottled) Clear dark-reddish brown with a small head. Intensely caramely-malty aroma with some smooth alcohol. Caramely-toffee-malty, sweetish flavor with some vegetable soup and strawberry. Quite full body with low carbonation. Pretty sweet doppelbock with lots of grainy-caramely maltiness. Not quite my favorite type of doppelbock: too sweet and straightforward-grainy.

Clear amber with a tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt and caramel notes. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel, rye bread and hints of chocolate. Finished sweet with a bit of an alco burn.

(Bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-06-05) Dark reddish brown and clear. Small white head. Malts, sweetness and lightly chocolate in aroma. Full bodied palate with medium carbonation. Malts, sweetness, chocolate, alcohol and bitterness in taste. Mild maltiness, bitterness and alcohol in aftertaste.

0.5 l bottle at Timo A’s tasting session. Amber color with small head. Dark bread, dark sugar, nuts and raisins in the aroma. Sweet caramelly flavor with dark bread and almonds. Sweet and liquer like, too sweet for me.

Bottle 50cl. Pours a mahagony dark clear brew with small ebony-coloured head. Dark raisins, hazelnuts, butte. Roasted grains. Nice composition, close to the style leaders Andechs and Ayinger. A surprise in an old-fashioned bottle.
