Half-litre bottle, poured (twice) into my Westmalle chalice at home on 26 Apr 2013, some three months before its BBD. Deep, dark, ruby red body: the beige head just wanted to leave before it had settled, a pity. The aroma was of coffee and dark chocolate infused with red berries and raisins: the taste was a rich blend of those smells. The alcohol is well masked by the flavours within the brew and hints of toffee and caramel can be added to the malty esters of coffee and chocolate already mentioned. Easy drinking for it’s alcohol level: far too easy!

The head is medium, the body darkbrown. It smells bitter-alcoholic, darkmalty. Taste is mild, malty, darkmalt, bit roasty. A bit boring, not that intensive.

Warm Hand strong (alcoholic) beer. Malty, sweet gut still bitter. Smooth and velvet palate. Good one.

500ml bottle. Clear red glowing darkest bron colour with average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Intense dark and caramel malty aroma, a touch of roast. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty, dark malty with a touch of roast, toffee. Strong malty, nevertheless drinkable.

Bottle. Deep brown with a short lived head. Aroma is dark soft fruit. Flavour is jammy fruit, dark malt. Warming but not obvious alcohol.

(bottle) Clear, dark brown colour with a beige and dense mid-sized foamy head. Molassy toast-malty and bready aroma with caramel and subtle notes of dried fruits. Moderately sweet flavour for a DB, quite full bodied with a well-matured carbonation. Solid dark malty base with bready notes, caramel and traces of molasses; sweet and mildly toasty bitter finish with hints of dark chocolate and alcohol. Decent Doppelbock. 19.X.12

(bottle) Dark brown colour with a firm and mid-sized foamy beige head. Sweet toast-malty nose with molasses, caramel and a subtle fruitiness when it warms. Sweet flavour, medium to full body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel and hints of coffee; medium sweet malty, slightly bitter finish, the alcohol is present but also well-integrated; quite lasting aftertaste with liquorice. Strong and tasty Doppelbock. Many thanks to EithCubes for this one !

Bottle. Dark brown, average and fully diminishing light brown head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, light caramel/toffee and some roasted malt with some dark bread. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish, some caramel/toffee with light roasted malt, light dark fruits and chocolate. Finish is average to long, malty and sweetish, light toffee and some roasted malt, light dark fruits and chocolate, faint alcohol. Nice doppelbockwith toffee and roasted malt - not too much alcohol.

Bottle shared with McTapps. Very interesting aroma of coffee and stout beer. Could be easier to drink but it is a very quality beer.

Bottle found as "Schwalbe Bräu" in local Norma and shared with MichaelBruch. Deep dark ruby-brown in colour with creamy head. Taste of rich caramel, honey and sweet espresso. Really delicious for a bargain (3,69 Euro for six 0.5l bottles).

On 50 cl bottle from Scheck- in center, Frankfurt. Dark color , good foam. Roasted aromas, some coffee, ok malt and some dried fruit. Medium/ full body & complexity. Pretty sweet, some bitterness - some unbalance Enjoyable
