Bottled (BB 06/2009). Tnx bierkoning! Deep copper brown color, small, vanishing white head. Nose is strong caramel malts, grassy hops, toasted sugar and rye. Alcoholic bite in the flavor. Grassy hops, sugar, caramel malts. Simple alcoholic bock, not related to doppelbocks like Celebrator.

Bottle received via trade with Koelschtrinker. Pours clear amber with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (husky toasted grain, cereal, meal), light hop (grass), average yeast (earth, broth) with notes of dates, pear, and alcohol. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and an astringent finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

It is beautiful copper-golden and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel and candy sugar. The flavour has sweetness and notes of roasted malt, candy sugar, nuts, caramel, light raisin and light alcohol. It is very well balanced and nice.

Bottled:
Beautiful dark reddish amber. Creamy, but short lived head. Fat, sweet malt on the nose. Sweet malty flavour with notes of raisins, currants, toffee and hazel nuts. Warming alcohol finish. Well balanced and tasty.

Light malty. Large, frothy, white head. Good lacing. Clear, dark orange body. Moderate sweet flavor. Medium palate.

Pours a nice red color with a mediumsized head. Aroma is quite refreshing with lots of hops and malt. Taste is filled with spicey notes such as aniseed. Some hops and fresh fruity notes can be found in there aswell as some caramellmalt.

Reddish colour, liquid is clear, small off-white head. Smell is sweet, jam honey dark fruit and alcohol. Flavour is rich alcohol, malt, jam, honey and a lingering presence of hops at the end. Mouthfeel is lively, crisp with small bubbles. A very good doppelbock I like it. Serving type: bottle

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours amber with little head. The beer wasn’t bad, but so dull that my notes ended with appearance...

Bottled. Orange-brown, almost no head. Aroma of dough, grain and raisin. Sweet with chewy mouthfeel and medium to full body. The full, almost dusty flavour of raisin and dough remains unril a salty finish with some warming alcohol.

Bottle. Look: Redbrown. Creamy head. Smell: Strange sweet aroma. Burnt sugar. Spices. Vegtables. Taste: Sweet. Small touch of bourboun. Butter. Overall: Nice warming beer, but not my cup of tea.
