This is pretty good stuff. I picked up some on sale at the local bottle shop. It doesn’t stand out incredibly from other Dopplebocks, but it seems to have just about the right combination of everything. Smokiness, texture, coffee flavor, and carbonation. If I had to compare this to a beer, I would probably compare this to Old Rasputin. Though I prefer this, as Old Rasputin is a tad too sweet in my opinion. This is probably the best Dopplebock I’ve had in a long time. Aroma is sweet & malty.

Dec 2, 2009 Tried at Stubbie’s on draft in Gainesville, FL. This is what a a Doppelbock is supposed to be! Light brown head, dark body. Tastes like applejuice and caramel. Finishes with a faint alcohol taste. Would drink again.

Nov 30, 2009 Pours very dark clear ruby brown with small tan head. Aromas of toast, pear, berries, licorice, and spice. Sweet with lightly toasted chocolatey malt followed by fruit and finishing very gently with a subtle bitterness. Full bodied with a thick creamy texture and fairly gentle carbonation. Wonderfully balanced and delicious.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a tan head with only some lace left in the glass.

Nov 27, 2009 330 mL bottle from Total Wine in Chesapeake. Dark cola-like pour with an off-white head. Sweet malty aroma that really overwhelms anything else. Sweet flavor with mostly apple, pear, and raisin but also some nuttiness and a hint of chocolate. Medium bodied. Probably as good as a dopplebock gets in my opinion.

Nov 25, 2009 30cl on tap at restaurant. Pours a semi-translucent dark amber color with minimal head. Aroma is well balanced between spices, malt, and hops in that order. Taste is very spicy but like the aroma is well balanced with nothing too overpowering. Body is full and is active while on the palate- you can feel the carbonation. Really nice complex beer, good to combine with food.

Nov 23, 2009 Dopplebocks in general are not my fav, way too sweet for my taste, but I knew that this was good when I first tasted it. I kind of consider this to be more of a desert beer, i can have only one at a time, great malty sweetness but not overbearing, toasted hazlenut flavor and goes down so smooth.
