Apr 16, 2008 Growler from Skyview. Great example of a Christmas Bock! The beer was dark brown with thick tan foam. I detected malt and faint Christmas spices in the flavor and aroma. The beer was a bit on the dry side for being a doppelbock. But, this was not a detractor. Palate-wise it was thick like a milkshake.

Jan 11, 2008 Malty nose that was quickly recognizable as a doppelbock. Dry and not too sweet and the doppelbock recipie seems to override the interesting mineral tinge that the water gives every other Das Bierhaus beer I’ve tried. Still, A very good beer.

Dec 21, 2007 A very good doppelbock. It is loaded with malt, with lots of roasted flavor. Black, and low carbonation. Exceptionally smooth and thick on the palate, I can’t remember when I had a bock with such a great palate. The only thing it is missing is sweetness and caramel. Very dry for a bock, but an expertly made beer anyway. Thanks to Skyview for sharing.

Dec 20, 2007 Growler from Skyview. Dark brown color with a medium head. Very dusty hop aroma. Thick malt taste with a bone dry and chalky finish. Slightly bitter. Good, but missing the screaming sugar typical of a dopplebock.

Dec 19, 2007 Growler courtesy of Skyview. This was delicious. Poured dark off brown with a nice finger thick off white head. Roasted malt aroma with a flavor of slight chocolate. Are there any bad beers by this Brewery because I have not had one yet!
