Style: Doppelbock
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

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.

Orangish-amber color. Little head and little lacing. Strongly malty, but some hops in the nose and the finish. Sweet and syrupy—toasty caramel with hints of chocolate.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a reddish brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is caramel malt with moderate sweetness, a touch of fruit, a small dose of veggies, toasty, with a hint of alcohol. The flavor is malt heavy. It opens with a nice caramel malt with moderate sweetness, fruity (perhaps apple juice), slightly toasty, some alcohol, and light bitterness in the finish. Medium-full bodied and smooth drinking. This was from batch 8881.

Well put together. Red-brown color with very little head. Great mouthfeel - you can tell this one is a malt-forward beverage. I think the balance here is great. It’s a little sweet on the finish, but goes down so well that it’s soothing. I had it after dinner - which may be just the right spot for it.

Clear reddish copper with a small beige head, fading to a ring. Brown sugar, toasted grain, and some fruity crystallized dark sugars from something like raisins make up the aroma. Flavor has the toasted grain up front with some moderate raisin and brown sugar caramel sweetness. Alcohol is present and warming, but not hot. Low creamy carbonation with a full body. Overall nice. but not my favorite of the style..

Pours a light brown, dark orange. No head at all. Aroma of raisins and caramel. Deep rich flavor of molasses and burnt sugar. Excellent carbonation level. Bubbly but not prickly or sharp. Very sweet beer. A little too sweet for my tastes, but very good.

Tobacco hued body capped and an almost toffee colored head. The aroma is sweet with hints of raisin and plum. Mildly carbonated but very creamy profile. Well balanced. Finishes very sweet, reminiscent of a port. Much sweeter and less bold than I expected.
