33cl bottle. Poured a deep amber color with a three finger frothy thick white head. Aroma of light cereal malt, smoke, some caramel and a musty hop. Flavor is malty and sweet with caramel malt, brown sugar, candied dried fruits, and some spiced notes. Medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle, bought @ SKY, Süderlügum.
Lovely clear red chestnut with a small, staying, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has red fruits, caramel, some nuts, a bit of strawberry. Light vinious. Medium carbonation, dry and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild sweet, some fine toasted caramel, mild milky chocolate, some light pine. Grassy bitter finish. Quite well-balanced between alcohol, sweetness and bitterness.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of malt, toasting, burnt caramel, molasses, candi-sugar, and grain. Poured amber/orange in color with no head. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily sweet. Tastes of malt, candi-sugar, marzipan, caramel, toasting, and some cookie. Medium body. Slick, then lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Medium to heavily sweet, malt, toasting, marzipan, candi-sugar, caramel finish is lightly dry. 7.5%ABV is completely hidden throughout.

Green glass, bottle by 18.07.12. Sweet and slightly candyish nose, full of rich, earth malt and toffee, brown sugar and melted grape popsicles. Transparent red body with orange highlights and a lot of carbonation, fizzy yellow-tan head. Boozy and sugary medium-full body, slick and drenched with intense malty flavor, and again, that alcohol taste is really creeping up. Good bitterness with caramel tending a bit toward vomit, otherwise faint hop contributions and a little scratchy yeast. Sweetness isn’t totally out of control, but it’s the kind that you can feel on your teeth and gums afterwards, and that’s not good, even for a dessert beer. Relatively textbook for a dark Bock, though I think I’d still pick Salvator for the exemplary Doppel.

Appearance: reddish-brown, with definite blood-orange notes; a short lived fizzy tan head; no lacing. Aroma: powerful aroma of raisins, sticky buns, caramel, toffee, toast, and cherries. Taste: dark fruits in heavy syrup (cherry, strawberry, raspberry), toffee, cinnamon raisin toast, and a tiny hint of chocolate . Finish: sweet, slightly chewy, with lingering notes of fruit and caramel and nuts. Notes: The fruitiest doppelbock I’ve ever had. Medium-bodied. Relatively easy drinking, with well-hidden alcohol.

240212: Clear brown bock with a small off-white foam. Nutty aroma with alcohol notes. Malty flavor with high alcohol. Unbalanced beer for my taste.

Aroma is caramel and intense maltiness. The flavor is malty and mildly nutty, with a lasting caramel flavor. Very solid Doppelbock.

Bottle 33cl. Clear filtered hazel-coloured brew with small head. Roasted, nearly burnt malts, burning alcohol, unharmonic. Disappointing for this famous brewery.

Bottle, many thanks to pivnizub. Cola like brown color with small white head. Aroma of biscuit malt, cookies, toffee, caramel. Taste, syrup, caramel, honey, dried fruit(plums?), nuts, hints of chocolate. Sweet finish with hints of bitterness in background and alcohol. Good Doppelbock.
