Tucher Bajuvator Doppelbock

Brewed by Tucher Bräu Fürth (Oetker Group)
Style: Doppelbock
Fürth, Mittelfranken/Bayern, Germany

Soya sauce sweetness with some nuttiness and a chalky feel to the aroma. Clear mahogany brown with off-white/tan head that recedes to ring. Somewhat chalky flavour is lightly roasty and salty with a mild raisin character and a lasting sweetness in the finish. Medium-light body has a fairly thin mouthfeel despite fair carbonation. Bottle enjoyed with beerbuzzmontreal, lubiere, MartinT and Rastacouere. Thanks, Degarth!

Clear burgundy flashed dark brown Smallish deep beige head. Dry malt aroma comprises unbalanced leathery nuttiness that vainly attempts to push away vegetal component, at times soy sauce like, at others, almost like a piece of rubber. Uselessly salty and lightly tart on the tongue. The malt doesn’t develop any firmness and instead wanders into vegetal oil ground, earthy at that and somehow woody, but never seizing the reins of anything concertely uniform. Mouthfeel is thin and oily despite moderately high carbonation. Disappointing really.

16 oz bottle, goblet. Molasses, caramel, chocolate, toasted malt (H); light alcohol, banana, clove, plum, prune, cassis, red wine, brown sugar aromas. Average, creamy/frothy, off-white head sits on a light brown beer. Heavily sweet flavor becomes a moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Medium body, watery/oily texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: would have liked more chocolate aroma/flavor and a creamy texture.

Dark reddish black/brown colour. Huge, lasting foamy head. Caramelly, heaviiy malty nose. Malty, caramelly, nutty taste with a slightly bitter finish. Mediumbodied. Ratherstandard, a bit one-dimensional Doppelbock, though still okay with me.

Bottle pours brown, black cherry tones, large fluffy off-white head, attractive lacing, with light carbonation.   Sweet aroma, malts, minor dark pitted fruit, and light alcohol.   Bready flavor, subtle malts, but not much else going on.   Certainly smelled more entertaining.   Decent body, medium mouthfeel.   Finishes somewhat quick & light, some alcohol warming, with lingering bready/malty flavors.   Shallow background of dark pitted fruits, but not enough to come out and say hello.   Not bad, but fairly average.

Very deep copper to opaque brown with a decent head that receded rapidly to just a bit of tan lace around the edge of the glass. Rich, malty nose with caramel, chocolate and mild roasted character and a definite alcoholic scent. Maybe just a bit of astringency and a slight phenolic background, but very malty and rich! Mouthfeel is full and finish is middlin’ sweet.

Shiny auburn color with big head between white and tan. Sugary sweet aroma. Smooth on the tongue, with a mellow sweet start, settling into a tart roasted grape flavor. Only for the hearty beer drinkers.

Not quite solid brown and amber with a creamy tan head. It has a smokey and roasted malt aroma with some carmel sweetness and a bit of a dark fruit side. The flaovr is full and smooth. Sweet, with molasses and malt and some chocolate finishing warm and smooth.
