Commercial Description:
The nose is filled with complex notes of figs, fruitcake, port, licorice, cherry, raisin chocolate, black toffee, coffee and caramel, while it tastes deliciously thick and chewy, with great complexity showing notes of fruits, coffee-roastiness, molasses, licorice, and toffee. This beer is a meal!
Editor's note. The draught version is 9% abv, but also contained under this listing. Edit #2 The bottles are now 9% as well (from 7%)

Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Chestnut brown with medium dense slightly tanned top.4-
Nose : Solid sweet ripe fruit aroma , berry like with gentle nutty side. Caramel with gentle brown malt accents. Very clean and mature malted set up.
Flavor/Palate :Woah , medium full brew with exquisite falvour bouquet. Dark caramel with raisin , sweet quality malt , soft wrapping smoothness of alcohol shall. Big yet not overly heavy , somehow it finds balance that should not be. Just right dose of alcohol , sweetness from malt and bit of magic. Must have in doppel –bock world!

Rich caramel aroma. Super flavor, like drinking a not-too-sweet fruitcake. Aftertaste of light grassy hops and dried fruit astringency.

Beautiful brown in colour, light beige coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is roasty, light smoke, lots of malt, mild sweetness, caramel, chocolate. The flavour is mildly sweet, lots of dark malts, fruit sweetness, some cherries, black forest cake and some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel, medium/large body, moderate carbonation. Finishes lingering, sweet, malty and warm.

Excellent mouthfeel, this might be the perfect winter beer, quite rich but very hardy.

500ml bottle from the Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York.
Opened on January 27, 2008.
No date.

(GERMAN) Nice dark brown color with a sm-tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, liqorice, and raisins. The taste is yummy, with dry fruits, molasses, and coffee notes. The finish is dry and the 9% is well hidden in this doppelbock. Well balanced, and worth a taste !!!

Bottle: Pours a dark brown color with light head. The nose is very sweet and fruity with a ton of maple and malt notes. The flavor is wet and juicy; grapes, fig, molasses, coffee. Bright alcohol and lots of nutty cherry notes in the flavor. Huge body and a creamy mouthfeel. Not for the faint of palates.

Bottle at Au Trappiste, Paris. Pours brown with a stable yellowish head. Mostly caramel aroma. Tastes of nutty caramel with good bitterness to offset the sweet malts. Full-bodied. Quite nice.
