A very nice and smooth doppel. A touch of caramel blended with some chicory. Not quite the Church Brew Works Doppel but still a wonderful beverage.

Not labeled as decimator, just the ellicott mills dopplebock (on tap at RFD tasting). Quite dark, but not opaque. Roasty aroma followed by smooth, very caramelized flavor. Decoction mashing is apparent.

Nice dark beer, with a lovely head. Aroma is dark and stout-ish. The beer has only a hint of the sweetness normally found in a dobbel, and felt more like a cross between a dobbel and a stout. Didn't have the roasted flavor of a stout, but had hints of just about everything else. Chocolate, licorice, berries, you name it. Heavy on malt flavors. A good beer overall.
