UPDATED: APR 4, 2021 Unfortunately, the first impression was spoilt a little by the slightly metallic smell. Still, grassy hops mixed with sweet raisin and chocolate came through. A complex taste, with some grassy hops, red fruit and chocolate, a little prickly on the tongue. A nice, light brown head. Less sweet and hoppier than expected. Great balance.

UPDATED: APR 3, 2021 Aromat zbożowy z karmelem, chlebem i suszonymi owocami. W smaku słodkawe, słodowe, dużo skórki od chleba i karmelków. Im bliżej finiszu tym bardziej przechodzi w gorzką czekoladę, spód od ciasta z lekką palonością. Posmak nieco mineralny z nutami chleba, suszonych owoców i lekką goryczką. Niby zwykły doppelbock, a jaki dobry.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2021 Nutty brow pour with a decent retention (small amount of tan coloured froth) Aroma; Sweet Malts, barley notes - treacle notes. Flavour: pleasingly sweet, with a malty bitter finish. Clean, barley and treacle on the body contribute to the overall flavour. This is a very good beer. A Celebration indeed ... Proßt!

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2021 Miedziane piwo o średniej pianie, która dość szybko redukuje się do zera. Aromat karmelu, rodzynek i trochę ziół. W smaku pełne, słodowe, karmelowe, czuć też rodzynki. Goryczka średnia. Ogólnie całkiem konkretne piwo, a jak na koźlaka to nawet wybitne.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2021 Old rating from 04-09-16 - At Glasgow's Hippo Tap Room on Sauchiehall Street I spotted this on there bottled beer list. Great looking label, it pours beautifully with a brown/ black body and a beige head. Aromas of caramel & smoked malt. Taste is of caramel, chocolate, cocoa & smoked malt with a medium body. Aftertaste is of a smoked malty caramel. Outstanding Doppelbock, and one of the best beers I've ever tasted.
