Pours dark ruby red with flat head, that disappears very quickly. Smells malty fruity, with lots of plum. Starts sweet malty, slight sugary, with some plum and licorice. Goes into a malty-sugary and slight fruity. Awesome Doppelbock!!!

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.

I hate to knock what most folks are calling a great beer, but you shouldn’t be able to tell the alcohol content in a dopplebock quite as strongly as this. It’s not a higher alcohol thing, nothing like that, it’s a mouthfeel and body issue that seems to be knocking it for me. That and an overall sweetness that I just can’t get past. Sure, decent maltiness and along the right flavor lines, but way too sweet and filling

Very good beer. Glad to have gotten it from Let’s Pour. Poured at a good temperature with a decent light tan head that soon settled down and a bit of lace. Color is a clear amber cherry with some bubble trails. Aroma is a pleasing blend of toffee, caramel, malt, roast, fruit. Flavor’s much like nose plus coffee, toast, and just enough bitter and carbonic tang to balance. Finish is average length and very easy drinking. Wish I could get more.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 ferit (69) - - MAR 9, 2013
+ mooi donker root. Schuim is wel snel weg.
+ zoete bloemen geur.
Eerste smaak - zacht zoet, 2de smaak - hout, 3de smaak - bittet met een alcohol prikkel. Een normale doorsnee bockbier. Enige pluspunt is de houtsmaak.

Ottimamente realizzata, buona leggera e beverina. Non mi aspettavo di gradirla così tanto...
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 crossovert (4565) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Rusty brownish pour with a fizzy off-white head. Smell is slightly metallic, super bready, with some dark fruit and a kiss of bole hops. Flavor is more on the sugary side for a doppelbock. This certainly isn’t a well-rounded grainy style one but a boozy yet pleasurable take on the style.
