4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20E’ una bomba. Piccola parentesi di lode va anche alla bottiglia, stilisticamente ineccepibile con la miniatura del caprone allegata. Naso potente di prugne, fichi e una punta di malto torrefatto. Al palto subito ricca e complessa. Datteri e fichi e un sapore fruttato generale la fanno da padrone. Il tutto condito dal malto tostato e una punta di luppolatura. Estremamente elegante ed equilibrata. Questa è una signora birra.

Bottle poured into pilsner glass. Served at 50 degrees.
Appearance - dark mahogany with thick tan head.
Aroma - roasted malt and molasses.
Taste - sweet roasted malt that finishes slightly smoky.
Mouthfeel - rich and creamy with light carbonation.
Overall - a loaf of bread in a pilsner glass. I now understand the hype around this beer.

Sample from bottle at Copenhagen Beer Festival 2013. Very dark ruby colour, nearly black. Moderate tan head. Surprisingly moderate aroma: dark bread, some caramel. Rich malty flavour, dark bread and caramel again, also some molasses, but not cloyingly sweet. Very moderate hops as expected. A good doppelbock, but way overrated.

Poured from 11.2 oz. bottle. Dark brown with a thick creamy head. Smells sweet and malty. Tastes of cherry and malt with a very faint hint of bitter. Highly rated but not my favorite.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark Mahogany. Big head with good retention. Smells of raisins, walnuts and soy sauce. Tastes of sweet roasted soy sauce with some chocolate. Slight carb. Slight lactic tang. Definite smokey flavor. More watery than I expected. Malts seem to be more in the background than I’d expect for a typical doppelbock. Malt flavor gets stronger as it warms, but astringency becomes overbearing.
