Bottled sample via my friend Trevor. Copper in colour with low carbonation. Aromas of plums, mild citrus, rich and malty caramel, banana bread, and a bit of alcohol. Solid toffee flavors, with notes of cinnamon (and various other spices), stone fruit and a bit of minerals. Starts off fairly heavy bodied, but has a mildy bitter finish that balances things out. Good stuff.

Spices, some heat, and grain in the aroma. Pours ruby red and brown with a thin off-white head. The palate is full and chewy. Warm malts and seasonal spices dominate the flavor profile--just a hint of clove. Interesting flavors--and enjoyable.

Most dopplebocks taste the same and this is no exception. However, it had a rather nutty character to it. 8.5% was well masked, too. Pretty good dopple for america.
