( Flip-top bottle, 0,33 Litres ) Full and sweet aroma, slight head, viscous and full-dark appearance, like oil, mild body, very well-balanced ( and that is a true artistry, if you look at the alcoholic content ), full-sweet maindrink, that is a real humdinger, one of the best Doppelbocks at all ! --- May 2004

A truely great bock beer experience, a very sweet honneulike taste combined with a very nice appearance. All in all very good.

Port, raisin and prune aroma. Ruby color, light brown head, good lace. Very full, sweet, very alcoholic but not annoying, prune and plume. Long lasting finish, thick, alcohol bitterness and a little burn.

Tasted this beer on the Bockbeer festival in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on draft. On of the German bock beers at the festival. Nice dark-brown color. The head disappeared quickly (might be the glass). The flavour contained lots of alcohol. Nice sweetness (malt sugar). The beer tasted as if it had some ageing (Port/sherry tones) and also had some fruit in the flavour.

Bottle 0,50 ltr: A heavy bitter brown doppelbock from Kaltenberg. This has a malty, fruity aroma in a goor order of taste.

Fresh on tap at Konig Ludwig’s in Wiesbaden. Poured a deep dark brown color (almost black), good initial head, retention, and lacing at these ABV’s. The aroma was dark fruits, light grassy hops. The flavor was of caramel, dark fruits (plums and raisins, the latter almost of a rum-soaked type flavor), a little doughy, nicely balanced, not sickly sweet. Mouthfeel was smooth, slight creaminess, but well attenuated and still lager-like.

Bottle 33cl. Pours dark ruby colour, small off-white head. Taste: Dark roasted malt, few hops, not sweet, oily texture, low carbonation, long lasting finish, dark raisins, complex. Plays definitely in the "Andechser Doppelbock" - Leage.

Thanks Jonas! Nicely hazy reddish-brown. Pleasingly rich malt nose with a toffee accent and just a hint of dark fruits. Very rich, decadent bock. Toffeeish, dark sugars and subtle fruit accents. Very smooth. A compelling bock.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are rich sweet malts with light roast notes. Smoky with evident alcohol. Flavours are molasses with sweet caramel and chocolate malts. Rich, smoky and spicy. Warming alcohol. Malty, tasty and powerful.
