(Draft: Pizza Port in Solana Beach) Disappointing for a doppelbock; Malty with a moderate (and somewhat unpleasant) bite on the palate right from the start; Malty flavor lacks the oomph for a doppelbock, and the alcohol seems pretty low as well; Moderate bitterness strikes a good balance with the malt from start to finish; Slightly sour flavor is unexpected and not necessarily welcome; Ruddy chestnut color; Aroma is malty, but has some Belgian characteristics as it starts to warm up; Fairly well carbonated which enhances the bite on the palate; Light tan head quickly fades to a small ring and leaves no lacing

Deep rich brown color, had a coffee smokey taste. Mine did not have much head on it. Kinda went down quick.

Clear ruby with creamy beige head. Aroma is chocolate, cherry, medium sweet. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, cherry, caramel. Medium-full body.

On draft at P.P. San Clemente for the rooftop party. This pours a dark reddish brown. It's definitely Not as sweet and malty as I would have expected. It had a touch of sourness going on. Definitely not quite what I'd expected from a doppelbock
