This is a wonderful doppelbock, that really shows off the fact that these do not have to be sickenly sweet in style. This has a nice rich, and medium bodied, flavor that is somewhat dry on the palate. Granted it is bittersweet, but not sweet to the point of irritation. Caramel maltiness, with an even amount of roastiness, somewhat earthy, but very clean, with a lingering finish of black tea and cooked grains.

Aug 20, 2008 If you are looking for something very malty this is your beer, it is also very full boided and has great balance along with a nice mouthfeel. The caramelly sweetness in this works very well, the metallic notes play second fiddle and get ignored by me mostly. A highly recommended beer in my books.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown. Small off white head that didn’t last. Left a little lacing. Smells very malty - cereal/weetbix dominates with some toffee. Tastes very malty as well - toffee, molassas, cereal, with a toasty slightly bitter finish. Its real viscous and syrupy feeling. A tasty beer but perhaps slightly sweet and syrupy for me.
