Bottle from Secret Santa Summer 09. Totally accurate to style. Nose is a bit more roasted-to-burnt than I remember most Doppels being, but this is very good. Flavor of roast, toffee, coffee, brown malt. Very nice.

Thanks Omhper for this Gift during my Quick visit to Stockholm. Very deep Amber color with a tan foam. Roasted malt and toffee aroma, the flavor is pretty much the same with some sweetness. mouthfeel is sweet roasted malty, with a tiny bitterness. Good one, and good drinkability!

Förenar en maltig storhet med en fruktigare sida. Ett storslaget bröllop av olika smaker som får ens inre att spinna av välbehag. Sensuell.

Bottle. The pour is dark amber with a small off-white head that settles into a ring of lacings. The nose is malty with notes of dark bread, dark sweet fruits, golden syrup, powdered cocoa and kind of lot of diacetyl/butterscotch. The alcohol is noticeable in the smell as well. The taste is sweet and malty. The malts are not very juicy or chewy though. Notes of rye bread, sweet fruits, cocoa and butterscotch. The finish is mildly bitter with notes of malts, peppery hops and warming alcohol. The medium body could definitely be pumped up a size or two, and the texture could have been more chewy. All in all, it gets a bit unidimensional and straight-forward, but it’s still a tasty beer.

Brown. Airy head, slightly tinted. Sturdy aroma, straight forward bittenress with a lot of hops and chocolate-like flavors. Very enjoyable.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2011 Bottle. Dark redbrown color. Creamy white head. Malt sweetness, butter and a tiny sourness in aroma. Malty, fruity taste with a small bitterness of dark chocolate in the aftertaste. Small tartness. 2011 bottle: Beautiful red-brown color, nice off white head. This beer is a homage to marzipan! It’s also fruity. Delicously "fat" texture. Swedens best beer?

Bottle. Color was dark brownish. The foam was small but rather thick. Nice aroma with malt, raisins, fruit and some syrup. Dried fruit and malt in flavor also sweet tones of caramel. Long aftertaste. The alcohol warmed some, I think.
