0.65l bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen shared with ClubGonzo and the rest of Bergen Tasting Crew. Pours a dark dark brown body with a small fading creamy chocolate head. Aroma is sweet and dark caramelly. Notes of dark fruits, light roasted malts, some thin chocolate and perhaps even some thin coffee? Medium-bodied, has a thick and oily mouthfeel and the carbonation level is average. Tastes quite nice. There’s some strong sweet notes but its never on the border of tipping in to TO sweet, dark and salty licorice, also some notes of dark malts. Can hardly notice the relatively high abv. but it’s leaving a nice warming feeling.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy caramel aroma with hints of dark fruit. Fruity malty caramel and dark fruit flavor with hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel and dark fruit finish.

Bottle from Ølbutikken, shared with Palme and friends. Near-black (VERY near) brown body, medium beige head. Aroma is deep malty notes with salty licorice and some nuts scattered around. Nice. Taste is equally deep malty coffee tones, with hints of salty licorice and faint traces of salmiac. Hints of walnut in the finish. The warming alcohol is masterly hidden on the palate, which is smooth and full-bodied. A very good dobbelbock (which is almost a borderline imp stout) from 3F.

Bottled. Very dark brown coloured. Has a dense brownish head. aroma of liqourice, caramel, bread, roast and coffee. Its the same in the flavour. Very very roasty and coffeish. Medium to full bodied. Has a dry and somewhat fruity roastiness in the end.

Bottled. Quite much pitch black colouor, small brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, and mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and mild toffeeish notes. Pleasantly balanced. doublebock?

Bottled 650ml (PBF)
Dark opaque brown color, small off-white head. Licorice, candy, coffee, dark malts in the nose. Full-bodied. Licorice, cold coffee, rye, extreme roastyness.Suprisingly short finish. Feels less alcoholic than 9 %.

65cl, no mention of ABV, new exclusive American brew Anno 2010, thx to Jeppe!, complex brew, roasted and malty, heavy, not balanced, hazy, small head, good brew, yet expensive!

Fra flaske, dufter dejligt af karamel svagt ristet malt, flot sort med lysebrunt skum .. Smager dejligt af karamel, ristet malt , lakrids... Eftersmagen er let sprittet .... Men en dejlig doppelbock :)

Bottle. Pours black with a creamy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light chocolate, light smoke and some liquorice. The flavour is quite roasted with notes of bread, toasted caramel and some liquorice. The alcohol is well hidden. Smooth body. Light hoppy and malty finish.

Crushed with Honkeybra. Certainly not your average dopplebock. Very malty, kinda dark fruity and roasty with a nice, bitter hop finish. Pretty spectacular.
