COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale is a smoothly rich beer with a dense head, a powerful aroma, and chocolatey malt notes – the perfect way to cheer yourself up this winter. Doppelbock Winter Ale replaces the previous Monteith’s Winter Ale seasonal release which boasted cinnamon and clove flavour cues.

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - JAN 25, 2012
Bottled. A mahogany coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A sweet and sugary strong lager. Licorice and caramel notes. Wood in the subdued nose. Cakey malts in the mouth. Tasty. Not really strong enough to be called a doppelbock.

RichardW (854) - Carlisle, Cumbria, ENGLAND - NOV 27, 2011
Bottle, Rehills, Ncl. A red hued beer with a fairly clean white head. Good aroma of fruitcake and spices, giving the impression of a stronger beer. Smooth on the palate, a reasonable body, that makes it easy-drinking, but could maybe do with a touch more oomph. Sweet malts come in late on and it has a sharpish finish. Well-rounded and flavoursome, with a pleasant aftertaste hinting at ginger and mulled wine.

AshtonMcCobb (777) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - OCT 23, 2011
33cl bottle. Pours a deep amber-red with a nice little skimming of froth on the top. The nose has burnt biscuits, treacle and some sultanas. The taste is burnt ginger biscuits with currants, then a dark chocolate note on the end. The palate is medium bodied and beyond with a thick-ish texture and a reasonable finish - good length but could have been more tapered! Overall, a nice winter ale.

Dudar (101) - Minsk, BELARUS - JUL 10, 2011
Red brown pour with thin creamy head. Nose: sweet malt, caramel, banana, milk chocolate, honey, toast. Taste: sweet malt, some toffee and mild milk chocolate, fruity-sweet with slight tang and modest brisk bitterness. Med-full body, soft creamy carbonation. Nice and balanced beer, totally worth every penny. Enjoyed it a lot with bold flavours of gamey meat.

maneliquor (1005) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUN 30, 2011
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Very malt driven. Aroma is all caramel and roasted malts. Lots of the same in the taste with slight bitterness. Boring

davidm (1243) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 15, 2011
Bottle 330ml. Great beer, with malt-driven aromas. Aromas of caramel, nuts, and milky chocolate. Taste is sweet, with light bitterness, and long length. Palate is almost creamy, with medium-to-full body. Dark brown, with a frothy head.

GT2 (3414) - Washington DC, USA - NOV 17, 2010
300mL. Poured a clear deep amber with a fluffy, big-bubbled, fluffy, yellow head. Good lace. Nose is floral, nutty, butter, ash, newspaper, cardboard. Taste is malty, bitter, nutty, moving to metallic. Bland.

mickmac (405) - Ngunnawal, AUSTRALIA - AUG 31, 2010
Bottle. Tight foamy light tanhead over a dark garnet-black body. Aroma of bread and grapes, taste of subtle biscuit, grape/apricot with a toasted/roasted bitter finish. Rich, low carbonation.
