On tap at brewpub. Pours brown with almost no head. Primary flavors are a delicious blend of raisin, plum, chocolate and licorice. Finish is held nicely. Good tasty brew, perfect for ribs and dark meats.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear dark brown with a small tan head. Nutty nose, coffee and chocolate. Sweet nuts and mild chocolate flavors, light fruitiness. Nice, but a bit sweet for me.

Dark brown beer with a creamy dark brown head. Very chocolatey aroma, milk chocolate and malted milk balls. Herbal noble hop aroma lurking behind the sweet chocolatey malts. Well-lagered and quite clean tasting. Lots of dark toasted malt. A well-constructed doppelbock.
