JosephsBrau Winterfest

Dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Aroma is roasted chocolate malt and a slight spiciness. Flavor of creamy, roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and coffee with a lingering tanginess. Short, roasty finish coupled with a fairly light body leave this one a little lacking for a doppelbock but still decent enough.

This dark brown ale poured with a thin tan head. It tastes more like a brown ale than a doppelbock. There is a strong roasted malt flavor and a spicy candy finish, making this a fairly tasty brew.

bottle. pours a nice rich red mahogany. light aroma caramel & roasty chocolate. not a huge flavor but light and satisfying. I have not had many double bocks so I can’t say much about the authenticity of this one. decent.

Pours a deep auburn with a nicely beaded off-white head. Aroma is deep bready, cinnamon, caramelized sugar, and malt. The body is a bit thin for the style. The flavors are big and malty; chewy caramel, and some chocolate, with an appetizing hop spice. The finish is appropriate. I can’t get past the fairly light body esp. considering the purpose of this beer.

Bottle, poured a deep mahogany with a thin off white head. Not much aroma. Clean malty flavor, molasses, chocolate. Slight hint of bitterness. A little bit of alcohol warmth in the back of the throat. A fairly bland double bock.

Dark brown color with not much tan head. Simple caramel like aroma. Slightly tangy flavor hints at molasses with some bitter roasty malts. Pretty dull really.

Bottle. Very dark beer with a reddish hue. Sweet aroma of chocolate and fruit. Very sweet taste. Very little hop taste but a sweet finish.

Poured a clear dark reddish brown color witha small off-white head. Semi-sweet aroma with notes of chocolate, nuts, and a little fruit. Sweet, fruity and yeasty flavor with some phenolic notes. Some hops and a light bitterness on the finish. Light to medium bodied.
