Commercial Description:
Using Malts from throughout Europe and hops from the US, Cape Ann Brewing has produced a full bodied Dopple Bock with a malty, biscuit flavor. Tastes of the holiday are apparent with the sweet flavors of molasses and honey surrounded by hints of Cinnamon and Nutmeg.

Brownish with pleasant spice aromas. Some brown sugar and lots of bready malts. The beer falls down on taste, lacking depth and rich caramel, however. Palate is long enough, but again lacks depth.

Tap at Barcade. Deep ruddy amber beer, very cloudy with a thick tan head. Sweet grape, apple and cherry fruit in the nose. There is a sweet maltiness, but it isn’t very caramelly or toasty, just a sweet base that lets all the fruity esters play out. Flavour is also fruit dominated with some orangey/pineappley hops. A bit of earthiness on the back, but mostly sweet fruit in a strongish beer that still manages to keep a sense of balance. Quite nice.

Bottle. Pours a light brown/amber with off white head. Aoma is sweet malts and cinnamon. Taste is very bready malt with many winter spices (nutmug, cinnamon,ect.) This is not my dopplebock of choice, but I got this bomber for under $4 and that can’t be beat.

Pours dark amber with medium head. Very spicy aroma: cinnamon, nutmeg, raisin, fig. Tastes very similar to the aroma, with heavy spices and molasses maltiness. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Nice.

Dark amber pour with a thick tan head. Good head retention. The aroma had hints of currant, cinnamon caramel and raisin. Smooth taste with cinnamon, toffee caramel and currant plus dried fruits. Overall not a great Doppelbock in my opinion, but worth a try.

Pours a two finger light brown head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving a little lace. Cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Nutty nose. Starts malty but not very sweet, hops are there, finish has a bite. Not as sweet as the usual dopple bock. Alcohol isn’t noticeable. $5.20 for a 22oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Bock night @ Spuyten Duyvil. 22 oz bottle. Pours a nice deep amber but hazy with a fair amount of sediment possibly yeast and spice. Thin head fades quickly. Aroma is spicy- cinnamon, clove, etc along with a strong sweet caramel malt backbone. Sweet flavor, but almost becomes cloying. Caramle, toffee, dried fruits, plum, raisin, and a cherry-pie like finish. Good for a xmas brew, but I wasnt in the mood for this, especially since it didnt really represent anything close to a traditional doppelbock.

Bottle, from Julio’s . Ok nose, sweet. Spice, Cinnamon and nutmeg, molasses, caramel. A little haze, orangy brown color. Small head that faded quicly, little if any lacing. Sweet & spiced flavor. Ok nose, like aroma, sweet & spice. Kind of like a ginger bread/apple pie mix. caramel too. Medium body, lite smooth creamy body, spiced caramely finish. Ok little lifeless, I would of thought classic Christmas ale.
