Pours a nice brown with a head that fades in the blink of an eye. Smells of bread and roasted oats. Taste is dark fruits and caramel with a slight hint of alcohol. Palate is a little on the thin side. Overall a nice doppelbock, will try again.

TURDFERGUSON (3581) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - APR 17, 2013
Numerous bottles from spirit haus. Pours light brown with a reddish hue, small off white head. Nose is malty, light metal/rust, toasted bread. Flavor is similar, not terribly complex but well balanced for the style and one of the signature beers of the style historically speaking.

VictorStr (407) - Helsingborg, SWEDEN - APR 14, 2013
Svart med tunt vitt skum som snabbt försvinner. Tyckte både aroman och smaken var väldigt vaga och tråkiga. Rostade toner med en hint av citron.

Pyrmir (1453) - Westra Aros, SWEDEN - APR 14, 2013
500 ml bottle. Dark hazy brown with yellowish head, quickly dissipating. Aroma of burnt sugar, rum, dark bread, alcohol and sweet liquorice. Aromas get a lot stronger with increasing temp. Taste is sweet, bready, sweet liquorice, boozy with rum notes. Finish is with mostly burnt sugar. Very nice beer
