Poursa nice and dark with that sweet high alcohol taste. No noticable hop bite just enough to balnce the malt, creamy and a very sippable brew on a cold night.

Pours a deep golden with a thick, frothy white head. Grainy, floral hop aroma. Flavor is very full-bodied, pleasantly sweet and malty. Notes of grain, grass, alcohol, honey, some lemon/citrus fruityness, a little caramel and bit of a bitter hop presence at the end. Definitely not a session beer. Very full bodied and smooth on the palate with lively carbonation. Nice lacing, good head retention. I really enjoyed this. Underatted IMO.

Poured a clear gold with a minimal head. Aroma and flavors were sweet and sugary with a good amount of caramel. Bitter finish with some alcohol pepper flavors as well. Full bodied.

(Bottle 33 cl) Recently best known for having taking over production of world classic "Samiclaus" - but in general known for it’s strong bocks. Extremely high gravity with 23 degrees plato makes this a difficult one to drink. Comes close to requiring cutlery. Not much darker than an ordinary pils, no head whatsoever. Extremely full-bodied and sweet. Hard to drink, I recommend chewing. 040302

12 oz bottle. Luminous slightly hazy gold with a faint head diminishing quickly into a small ring...alcohol, almonds and brown sugar waft into the nose, caramel and vanilla increasingly noticeable with warmth...brown sugar, pine and neutral alcohol in the viscous, slightly syrupy body...booze is a bit too harsh at the finish. Somewhat disappointing.

Aroma is malty but also extraordinarily smooth. Flavor is also malty of course, taffy candy and orange cognac elements showing through prominently. No head and minimal lacing, but from what I’ve seen that’s normal for this style. Medium amber color. Alcohol is quite evident in the flavor but that’s actually nice because it balances the sweetness of the malt and adds to the cognac element. Very rich mouthfeel, sort of like cold cocoa (albeit without said flavor element). Just a touch of hops on the finish, but this style seems to dictate underplaying hops even at this stage. I’d recommend Urbock 23 if not simply for a good example of the Doppelbock style.
