Wow. Very impressive smooth taste. Hints of the holiday season in this neat little dopplebock. Malty, with a hint of carmel. Scent: fruity, but now overpowering. Spicey and woodsy overtones.

On tap at the Firkin, Libertyville, IL. Average off-white head with good lacing. Clear red amber color with fruity ester aroma. Soft carbonation. Medium bodied with smooth creamy texture. Starts with a light sweet malty taste and finishes slightly dry with light hops. Similar to Capitol Oktoberfest but better. A tasty and unforgettable beer.

Almost looks like fire! Rich and deep red-purple color with thin layer of foam. Absolutely perfect aroma of toffee-cookie and juicy malts. Flavor is borderline cloying. Toffee malts are in full abundance, with a thick palate. A tingle of hops finishes it off within the realm of balance. Drink fairly cool to ensure that balance. Mantains drinkability in the face of some of the biggest melanoidins ever! Not a session beer though.
