bottled, at rbesg08 in pilsen. rich shade of golden with a modest head; fresh aroma of honey rye; some sticky golden syrup kept in check by a lightly metallic bitterness; subdued but not dull

On tap at the brewpub. A brutal one. Real doppelbock with its rich sweety oily body with malt notes dominating the aroma.

On tap at the brewpub. Served with a good, creamy head in a stein. Malty and spicy nose. Very spicy hoppiness and good malty backbone. Very well made.

Alkoholisch süßer Antrunk als wäre das Bier noch nicht ganz ausgereift. Später malziger, etwas hopfig, das Bier ist konstant sehr süffig. Tiefgehende Aromen fehlen hingegen, der Hopfen ist angenehm, mehr aber auch nicht. Die Malzigkeit wird mit der Zeit seichter und klebriger, erst im Abgang ist der Bock zaghaft würzig und, als Ausgleich, etwas herb. Trinkbar, aber vom Hocker haut das wohl Niemanden. 6/8/9/8/7/8

Tap at the brewpub. Two fingers of foamy white head, light brownish tawny color from what I could tell in the stoneware. Aroma has some light hoppiness and lagery sweet aromas. Very mild brew overall, and the 7.5% is to be found nowhere. Maltiness really comes through a bit more in the flavor, some caramel. Chewier body, but not overly sweet which was welcomed.

This beer is definitely should be drinked from 1L stein krug in Forschungsbrauerei biergarten itself. With 7.5 alcohol It’s more drinkable than most oktoberfest biers, this is a great beer! But remember - taste can vary from year to year. 2007 was better than 2008.

Draft at brewpub. Served in 1L krug. Appears amber with nice frothy head. Aroma is nice, big and bocky with a little chemical smell marring it somewhat. Soft palate. The alcohol comes out also in the flavors and almost imparts a chemical tone but the malts stand their ground and it ends up being a very nice but strong beer.

Golden ith no head. Bready malt aroma. Sweet and bready malt flavour with hot alcohol.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of joss. It pours a beautiful clear amber beer with no head at all. Suprisingly pale for the style. The aroma is rather nice, hoppy with hints of home made caramel, peanuts, pumpkin and pineapple. Sweet taste. Medium to full bodied. Very low carbonation. Extremely smooth. Nicely fruity (papaya and pineapple) with a good hop hop profile. Decent bitterness. No lacework at all. A warming sensation appearing with the swallow, leaving a dryish finish which is reminiscent of candied apricot and pumpkin. A very good Doppelbock. A real pleasure! Thanks a lot joss!
