Caramel roasted malt; sweet candied beat sugar, almost reminiscent of a Trappist style ale. Pretty damn good.

Bomber - pours ruby-ish with beige head. Nose is alcohol and brown sugar. Flavor adds dark fruit and borderline vinous notes. Sweet with a somehow dry finish.

22oz bottle. From Julio’s liquors. Bottled on Jun 25, 2012. Flavor is biscuit malts, grain, raisins, light burnt toast. Flavor profile is toasty bread, dried dark fruit and prunes. Vienna malt has a strong presence. Slight hop in the finish. Overall, decent but nowhere near the best in style.

Bottle. Aroma of burnt carmel and brewhouse. Deep rich copper/carmel colour. Overly sweet taste with faint bitterness - cloying even for a Doppel. Thick sweet palate.

Caramel, figs, toffee, and bread aromas are very balanced. Malt driven in flavor and has hints of biscuit, fruit, and toffee. Generally not a fan of lagers but am pleasantly surprised.

Pours a clear ruby amber, with creamy, off-white head. Smell is immediately rich of fresh Italian bread, and oats. The taste is rich of rustic white bread and olive oil, with hints of cornmeal, and darker fruits. I’m also picking up unsalted almond, as well. The palate is slightly sappy, with little carbonation. For a dopplebock, this is much more "liquid bread" than the darker fruitiness of most others I’ve tried.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark garnet color a little white head. Dark fruits, bing cherry, brown sugar, caramel. A little sweet up front with some alcohol sting, subtle bitter finish and a little of the sweet comes back. Some funkiness from the hops, a little much. Decent.
