Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours a clear reddish copper with a large frothy beige head. Heavy malty aroma. Medium body. Mild carbonation. Flavor is sweet darkish malt, but there are other flavors. Dark fruits tending towards cola. Very pleasant. Seems to finish with a touch of treacle.

Bottle: Deep rusty auburn with good clarity and a wispy light tan head. Clean richly malty aroma- toffeeish with good malt depth- some raisin, brown sugar and toasted chewy dark bready notes with a subtle alcohol touch. Chewy body yet soft and fluffy on the palate. Clean and dense yet balanced malt flavor. Some raisin, cocoa, toffee sweetness- the rich sweetness is balanced by some toasted malt flavors as well and a late mild peppery noble hop presence. Very well done Doppelbock- feels German.

Bottle. Pretty copper pour. Small tan head fades quickly. Aroma is sweet malts, toasted caramel, brown sugar, rusty iron, ripe fruits and candy. Taste combines these, minus the rusty iron, with some soft nutty flavors, dark bread, and soft candied fruits. Light alcohol comes through in spots as well. Body is medium to medium-full. There’s some creamy carbonation filling out this rather chewy beer. Ends with more caramel, sweet malts, candy, dark breads and hints of fruit.

From the bottle, pours a clear dark red with a thin off white head. Aroma is malty and berry-ey. Taste is similar, dark fruits and plummy with a good amount of caramel malt. Thicker but with a bit of water to make it quaffable. Pretty good beer.

Dark but clear copper red color, medium khaki head. Lovely lager aroma, clean, malty, grainy. Medium sweetness, almost meaty, peaty. Caramel, slightly toasty. Sweetness builds on itself. Somewhat one-dimensional.
