16oz bottle. Pours a dark dark brown with an awesome long lasting frothy beige head. Nose is dark chocolate, caramel and wheat. Some hops on this but light and just to provide balance. This is a very malty beer and the assam is aptly used. THis is very much like a strong assam tea. Dark, rich, malty. This beer has strong notes of chocolate, caramel and of course bread. Its not the Celebrator but its very good nonetheless. Probably the second best doppel I’ve had.

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.
