Light brown clear color with a mild caramel cola aroma. Sweet malty flavor this is not as strong as most other doublebocks ive had and lacking the palate complexity

Bottle @ Pivni Rozmaniost, Prague. Pours ruby amber with a small creamy white head and lacings. Fruit, good layer of caramel, bread and a whiff of alcohol. Sweet and smooth. Warming alcohol in the end. Nice.

MacArthur Beverages 500ml ($4): Pours a reddish brown color with an off-white head. Aroma is dark fruit and stuff. Something is amiss with the taste though. I am not sure if there is quite enough of it. Some sweetness. Some roastiness. But really not enough interesting stuff going on. The later sips got better than the earlier sips, but still this doppelbock does not stand out very much.

bottle. clear mahogany body, thin off-white head. buttered biscuit, caramel and plum wine nose with notes of butyric acid and pennies. not exactly infected or heavily oxidized, which is what i was expecting from the nose. mild butter and metallic notes with a stale tobacco and plum malt sweetness, low acid, low bitterness, thin body, noticeable alcohol. finishes thin and pasty with creamed caramel popcorn notes. sadly, bad stuff throughout.

500ml Bottle: Sweet aroma of malt, toasting, bread, and nuts. Poured deep amber/brown in color with s tiny, off-white/tan head that greatly diminished but lasted around the edges. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of malt, honey, toasting, and nuts. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malt, toast, nut, honey finish.

500 ml. bottle. Pours a medium, lasting, light beige head, over a clear, light brown (SRM 20) body....nose is sweet, with raisin, fig, plum tones, bit of brown sugar, toffee/ caramel....taste is light sweet, with raisin, fig, plum, finishing with a slight bitterness.....mouth feel medium, slightly sticky, carbonation adds a foamy quality. This meets its style quite well. The malts dominate, with the hops only minimally present. This is not as complex nor as rich as the very best, but it is quite good. BJCP 7/3/13/4/7

Malziger und leicht röstig-schokoladiger Geruch. Im ersten Antrunk zunächst süßlich. Dann tritt die Süße etwas zurück und weicht in der Mitte einer angenehmen Malzwürze. Hintergründig sind einige Fruchtnoten zu erahnen. Schokoladig-sahnig und sehr sanft gleitet das Bier in den Ausklang. Hier findet man dann einen Hauch von alkoholischem Flair ohne kratzige Attribute. Ein fast perfekter Doppelbock. Kräftig mit Tiefe und wohlschmeckend.Test vom 7.3.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottle @ home. Dark orange/brown appearance with a cream colored head. Quite sweet, caramel malty, a touch nutty, bock aroma. Very sweet, hazelnutty, caramel, quite malty lager flavor. Caramel aftertaste. Solid Doppelbock but not super special.

Trotz des eher milden Antrunks ist zu erkennen, dass das Bier ein wenig stärker ist. Die Malzigkeit wird daraufhin zwar nicht unbedingt stärker, breitet sich hintergründig aber aus und ergibt zusammen mit einer etwas alkoholischen Süße eine angenehme aber doch eher zurückhaltende Würzigkeit. Mitlerweile ist dieses Aroma in den Vordergrund gerückt, die aufkommende holzige Herbe ist nur kurzzeitig präsent. Erstaunlicherweise ist das Malz auch im Abgang noch in selber Intensität vorhanden, obwohl diese ja wie erwähnt nicht sehr stark ist. Süße und Röstigkeit halten sich hier die Waage. Süffiger Doppelbock. 12/11/12/10/9/10

Clear mahogany with a creamy an lace - nose of toffee, raisin, bread pudding - fairly creamy and smooth mouthfeel - sweet, rich maltiness, with notes of date, treacle, caramelized sugars - a bit of a harsh acidity near the end, but it subsides quickly - lingering toasted grains and toffee sweetness - decent.
