Slightly warming on the swallow. Some lacework. Licorice and caramel in the finish (some residual sugars) which makes you eager to take another sip.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 2, 2011
Dunkler Malzantrunk, der doch noch frische Nuancen beinhaltet. So steht der ausgeprägten Malzigkeit eine leichte Herbe gegenüber, die aber sogar noch etwas abflacht und das Malz agieren lässt. Röstig, nussig, das Bier wird im Mittelteil sehr süß, zum Glück legt sich dies im Abgang wieder. Dort, wo es aber vorhanden ist, wirkt es störend und das einzige Mal ist das Bier unausgeglichen. Vollmundig malziger Abgang, in dem die noch vorhandene Süße zur Süffigkeit beiträgt. Sehr gelungener Doppelbock!

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 rickgordon (3758) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - APR 24, 2011
Bottled. From Csakajósör, Budapest. Thanks Gergely.
Ruby brown colour with off-white head. Light chocolatey aroma up front, followed up by heavy sweet maltiness with almond paste and hazelnuts. Full-bodied and sweet malty with mint chocolate and subtle almonds along with an alcohol touch at the back of the tongue. Big on the Co2. Good, balanced doppelbock as often from Germany.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Balazs (562) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAR 18, 2011
Bottle from Csakajósör. Poured with a deep-ruby color and a quickly disappearing head. Caramel, berry fruits, hint of vanilla, hay, cellar, raisins, nuts in the dessert-like aroma. Sweet taste in a medium dense body with fairly low carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden in the long lasting sweet finish. A decent doppelbock!
