Forstner Vollmond Doppelbock

Very pale orangey-sand, opaque. thick growing off-white foam from the agressive carbonation. Biscuity, sandy, rather sharp aroma with pleasant grapey and strawberry underlying fruitiness. A light creaminess accompanies you all through. The strenght feels surprising with that first approach of fluffy smoothness. Orange tea, leafy nuances paired with pear and white pepper also make apperances. Fair medium body displays huge carbonation that agresses the drinker a bit. Okay, rather complex, experimental big brew that I should enjoy in a foreign country, but it’s really too effervescent and frankly not that malty-quite yeasty- to be really great.

Bottled(330ml) shared with Doggythedog at the Dombräu, Graz.
As Forstner Biere Vollmond Doppelbock.
Pale amber coloured, hyper-quick disappearing beige head. Aroma was malty and fruity with mild yeasty notes. Contains three types of american hops, but hop presence is almost symbolic.

My beer no.3 of the Croatian RB beerhunt in Graz
Bottled, as Forstner Biere Vollmond Doppelbock, 7.5%, at the Dombräu.
Poured a misty amber colour on top of which was a small beige head that went away almost instantly. Fizzy. The nose is yeasty and alcoholic. Fruity too. The taste was damn pleasant, malt, fruitiness, alcohol all around but it actually complemented the taste instead of ruining like in some other Austrian bocks I’ve had. Almost no hops. Kinda light for its strength, and dangerously drinkable. The biggest and the most pleasant surprise of the beerhunt for me (it wasn’t the best beer though). A superb pale bock... that just happens to call itself Doppelbock.

Bottled:
Aroma is sharp alcoholic, notes of oranges and spices. Hazy orange color, huge foamy head. Flavor has oranges, nuts, pepper and other spices. Quite bitter hopped end and a dry finish. Bit unharmonic, especially in the end.
