Aug 9, 2008 (6/30/08) Bottle bought at the Schnupp brewery warehouse at Altdrossenfeld and shared with rickgordon, chris o and Ruth in the closed Schnupp biergarten. Clear light amber color with a medium white head. Aroma has a lot of malt, caramel, some cookie dough and hints of alcohol. Sweet, very malty, caramelly flavor with some biscuits. Medium to full-bodied. Very delicate for a Doppelbock. Highly drinkable.

Golden colour with average-sized head. Very fruity aroma with alcohol detected. Marzipan sweetness in flavour and very clean. Soft mouthfeel. Bit bisquity. Solid pale bock here!

<i>Comments:</i> Quinns, London. Huge hay flavours. Undefined malts appear quite pale for a doppelbock. A weird and not very pleasant, alcoholic example.

Aug 31, 2007 Bottle at Quinns, Camden. Copper colour. Rather pale for a Doppelbock. Rather thin too. Slightly malty with a touch of hot alcohol and a rather sweet overall feel. More like a European Strong Lager than a Doppelbock in my view. I see papsoe thought so too. Not great.
