Poured from a 11.2 oz bottle. Clear copper with very little head after a couple of minutes and almost no lacing. The aroma is sweet malt, caramel and a hint of green apple. Taste is alcohol, molasses and toasted malt, caramel - it’s all a bit too sweet for my taste. There is some hop bitterness in the finish. Moderate body with smooth mouthfeel; there are tiny bubbles working throughout. Overall, a bit too much malty sweetness for me - I tend to gravitate more to the hoppy beers.

Bottle @ Home. Pours reddish copper with a white head. Aroma of malt, sweets, sweet fruit, apples, little alcohol. Flavor is sweet malts, sweets, candy sugar, caramel, sweet fruit, alcohol. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, warming alcoholic finish. 300413

amber colour, not too much bright brownish head;aroma of candy sugar and alcohol; taste is fully dominated by malty sweetness and alcohol with fruity (mostly apple) notes - it’s a bit like a liqueur

Bottle 33cl. Nice white layer. Carbonation and looks of soda. Sherry for the aroma, hint of champagne. Flavour is camphor, oak, wine and butter. Butter feels nice here. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPad

Pours a clear, deep amber with a soapy white head that dissipated. Aromas of malts and alcohol. Wow, this is boozy. I knew to expect a bit of a "warming" beer but this just smacked me in the face with how the alcohol is not very well hidden. Not much of a hop character at all and the malts are there but it’s sweetness and booze can’t be looked over. I’m trying to say it isn’t cloying but it is soo sweet that if it were any sweeter, it would be. All in all, it’s a classic and one every beer enthusiast should try at least once, even though I would say this isn’t something I would indulge in all that often.

Intenso e limpido color ambrato con schiuma biancastra mediamente persistente. Sentori di caramello, zucchero di canna e luppolo; gusto similare, mediamente dolce, con note maltate e debolmente nocciolate, liquorosa e zuccherina. Corpo abbondante, effervescenza nella norma, abv massiccio e presente ma non fastidioso, finale equilibrato

something like 31 years since the last time I tried this one. No longer the strongest beer in the world, but still a quite heavy beer. Golden amber with small off-white head. Aroma heavy sweet malty, toffee, dried ripe fruits. Taste sugar, malt and some alcohol burn in the finish. A bit cloying.

The BeerAdvocate bros rated this 100... and I would have to agree. This beer comes in a 11.2 ounce bottle, and smells like all Euro pale lagers I have ever had... but this is a Doppelbock. The beer tastes like a Euro pale lager, but then you are hit with the spices you expect from a Doppelbock. It’s not Cinder Bock smokey, but close. The beer is sweet, but not too sweet... sherry like. VERY impressed, and I would buy this again and again! 11% ABV, too!

Bottle. Not particularly sweet, no burning or bitter aftertaste - just slight sweetness, mild, malty.

not bad, light bitterness, creamy/caramel texture
