Dark brownish red pour with a beige head that doesn’t last as long as you’d like. Nose of sweet caramel, bakery, cookie dough, and malt. Thick syrupy mouth feel. Roasted grains with a bit of hops on the palate. More hops than most bocks. Some nuttyness, but could use some more, much more. Aftertaste is more bitter than most bocks.

A very good Doppelbock. Sweet and very smooth caramel flavor dominates the flavor profile. Full and somewhat creamy mouthfeel, nourishing and quite filling. Finishes clean with no off flavors.

This is an interesting malt liquor. Pours thick and golden red. Like drinking caramel syrup... sweet sugary and thick. Ultra smooth body, creamy with some burnt aftertastes. A good beer, though I’m not used to the style I guess.
