500ml swing-top bottle. Courtesy of Jan Erik@"From Latvia with Alus Beer Session" 22.03.12. Dark brown body. Weak aroma of sweet malt, date, raisin, prunes and alcohol. Taste of cherry, date, nuts and almonds. Again there is the alcohol, which gives it a metallic finish. All in all there is just too much alcohol!

500 ml swing top bottle, bought in Germany. Poured into a snifter. ABV 7.2% Colour is deep mahogany brown, with red ruby shades once hold against the light. One finger of off-white head, with average retention. Aroma is mostly milky chocolate, with malts and hay on the background. Taste is not much different than the aroma. Again, milky chocolate, malts, the hay, although less notable, a somewhat red wine-y taste but only for a glimpse, and after all of the above parade, the chocolate returns, much heavier now and with a good duration. Medium thin to thick body, good carbonation and quite dry palate. Overall, very tasty dobbelbock, I should keep an eye for those in Germany.

50cl bottle, served in Weizen. Pours red-brown with small white frothy head. Both aroma and taste are caramel, red grape and ripe fruits. Sugary palate. Medium body, average carbonation. In short that’s what basically is, just add it’s well balanced and soft. Not difficult to drink for those who never tried a Doppelbock beer.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear dark brown color with a smallish white head. Very malty nose with a bit of caramel elements coming through. Taste is very slightly sweet, but a tad toasty, too. Fairly easy drink.

Reddish amber colour, small head. Aroma: toffee, bready malts, dark fruits. Taste: plenty of sweet toffee, dark fruits, marzipan, toast, slight hop presence. Finish is smooth and warming. Good sipper.
