Nov 25, 2009 Tasted at the 4th Annual Bistro Barrel Aged Beer Fest on 11/14/2009. This dopplebock pours a medium brown color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is brandy, bread, wood, caramel and sweet. A medium to full bodied dopplebock. Malts are fruity, caramel, sweet and molasses. Hops are earthy. Nice balance. Very smooth taste. Nice malt sweetness really complements the brandy and wood. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

May 2, 2009 Tap at Thirsty Monk in Asheville NC. Pours a deep amber-brown with a thin lasting head. Aroma is very rich- full of smooth sweet brandy, oak, tons of big dark candi sugar- brown sugar and thick sweet toasted malts and a touch of fruityness. A bit more brandy comes through in the flavor- very sweet and rich- tons of toffee, and caramel sweetness, oak, leather and slight earthy tones and just tons of big sweet malts- with more dried fruits and brandy sweetness in the end. Smooth and easy to drink despite 10%. Nice.
