Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark Aug 2, 2004 Malty and sweet. A classic example of the mighty Doppelbock style. Alcohol is in accordance with the style quite absent. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 31, 2004 Pours with a large head; it has a full, caramelly aroma with some notes of brown sugar and molasses, maybe some prune juice and dough; flavor if full, rich and creamy, almost cloying sweetness offset with nice, soft black carafa bitterness in the end; not overly balanced, but smooth and pretty good; maybe a little too sweet. sloth (1658), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA Jul 31, 2004 Large light brown head, creamy looking, good retention and a minor lace. Clear brown, ruby red hued brew. Bready malty sweet nose, pleasent graininess. Medium body, good continuity, creamy. Sweet malt, hint of chocolate with a fresh nuttiness, grainyness and a bit of roast. Finish is medium sweet with faint vinous notes. BückDich (4793), McCall, Idaho, USA Jul 29, 2004 Very dark mahogany ruby colored with a nice thick off-white head and no lacing components. The aroma is malty with some light fruity plum notes and hints of light hop, sweet nuts and alcohol. The flavor is sweet and nutty with some moderate alcohol taste and tons of caramel(ized) malts and fruityness. The finish is full bodied but around the middle for attenuation for doppelbocks, not too sweet, fairly balanced. Good doppelbock, to style but still expected. Ungstrup (14761), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 27, 2004 A clear red beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread.
