From the tap this poured a dark chestnut body with a short-lived bubbly tan head. It has a sweet aroma of toasted dark grains blended with creamy caramel candy. The flavor has a light toasty bitterness, some dusty dark caramel, and a touch of grassy/herbal/floral bitterness to balance it all out.
None of which explains the D-O-P-P-L-E spelling.

On tap at the pub, December 2007. Dark red, bordering on black in color. Slightly small, creamy off-white head is mostly lasting throughout the pint. Mild roasty aroma with hints of butterscotch. Mildly roasty moderately sweet flavor with some mild citrusy hop bitterness. Rather thin, watery palate. Next to no alcoholic flavor to speak of, a rather lackluster doppelbock.
