Style: Doppelbock

(Bottle). Very strong, sweet malty aroma. Color is deepest brown, almost black. Smallish tan head. Flavor a symphony of roasty malted caramel notes, with satisfying mouthfeel and dry lasting finish. This is a heckuva good beer; can’t wait to repeat the experience.

Bottle. One of my favorite beers and one of the first craft brews I ever tried. Aroma is a pleasant roasted sweet maltiness. It looks great, a model of a beer. Deep amber in color with a thick tan head. Excellent flavors of sweet roasted malt and caramel. Extremely drinkable but also flavorful.

bottle, dark ruby color with a khaki colored head, fruity caramel nose, flavors of cocoa, fruit and coffee, very balanced smooth finish

Bottle. Brown pour with massive light brown head. Aroma of caramel, sugar and gingerbread. Taste of malt, orange peel and nuts with a great finish.

Pours an extremely dark brown. Tan head that dissipates quickly, but a swirl easily brings back a creamy looking tan head. The aroma is very sweet and malty. Hints of berries, cherries, and candy. Some toffee and caramel. It reminds me of a creamsicle. The flavor is very sweet and malty as well. Lots of berries or cherries and candy toffee. There is a light lingering bitterness and hints of roast and chocolate. It coats the mouth very well and has no carbonation feel. A really creamy medium body. Overall, this is a fantastic brew. Great flavor, great balance, and a damn good feel.

33 cl bottle, bought at Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Dark brown color, nice tan head. Aroma is dried fruit and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with bitterness in the finish. Very nice, but a bit watery finish.

Antique wood brown with a strong tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. I can sense a really dark chocolate with a dried cherry, raisin or orange peel. There is just a hint of sweetness. The beer is creamy and a little sticky.

Pillowy white head and a deep rich amber color. Complex notes of fruit and malt coalesce for a truly enjoyable beer.
