Binding Carolus Der Starke Doppelbock

Pours almost black but with reddish tints. No real head and no lacing. Smell is very much alcohol with notes of malt, and brown sugar. Taste is the same but also some of a coffee background. Not a great doppelbock but a pretty good beer.

Beautiful light brown head. Very dark colour, almost black. Roasty chocolate aroma. Tastes the same as smells with the bitter aftertaste. Not bad. Not bad.

A tad on the strong side. Good German Dopplebock. Had in Frankfurt, Germany. Bottle

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Tastes malty and strong, becomes not penetrating. Finish is a little bit alcoholic. Very drinkable and good doppelbock!

Pours a nice deep golden brown color. Aromas of rich dark malts, chocolate, fruit, and a hint of smoke. Flavor is rich with a lot of flavors to be found, chocolate, dark fruit, coffee.

[bottle] Sweet, molassesy grain aroma with detectable noble hops. Plenty of dried fruit that blends well with ethanol. Nearly opaque, clear garnet with an eternal tan, flannel blanket cover. Nice grainy flavour accentuated by a nutty oxidation flavour: dried fruit and tobacco. Coffee/chocolate notes come in with the bitterness. Medium body, medium carbonation, some lasting bitterness, but that’s okay. Quite nice, overall.

On draught at Das Wirthaus (Frankfurt). Pours an opaque black with a thick tan head. Big malty, coffee aroma. Medium-to-big body with a heavy mouthfeel. Rich dark malt flavor with a dry flavor balance and slight licorice character.

smell of roasted malts and dark chocolade. contains very few co2 (ecologically positive...). dominant taste of alcohol. aromes of malt and coffee, later of hops. but the alc destroyes the aromes.
