Growler thanks to Mel. Clear, reddish brown color with a small off white head. Mild toasted malt aroma with a touch of caramel and dried fruit. Had to really take a deep whiff to get much out of the aroma. Flavor was a bit stronger, with some brown sugar, chocolate, toasted malt and a hint of banana. Decent, easy drinking doppelbock.

Tastes of light bread, toffee, dark fruits, toasted malts and somewhat of a brown sugar sweetness. Alcohol content well hidden.

Poured a dark ruby with lighter highlites and a creamy off-white head. Aroma of rich dark fruits, bubble gum, a bit of molasses, perhaps some bread. Flavor is soft and yeasty, with a mix of sweet and dry flavors, with notes of dark fruits, brown sugar, and wheat bread coming through. Although nothing about this stands out in particular, it’s a pretty smooth and drinkable doppelbock.
