VRBT. Neat to get to try this one. Medium brown. Sweet caramel malts on the aroma. Light backbone of bread and caramel for flavor. Slightly floral hop finish. Perhaps not a traditional doppelbock, which would explain why I liked it.

Bottle courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours a deep brown with a tiny head. Big caramel, chocolate, toffee, and butterscotch aroma with some slightly apple notes. Flavor is the same with some hops, and a few that linger. Would be much better with more carbonation, I think as the finish lingers sweet and hoppy.

20080130 750ml bottle Bit pale brown with small but lasting off-white head of tight foam. Not really complex but basic nutty, yeasty aroma with some soapy, perfume hints. Apple and tea flavors, brown sugar, raisin. Long sweet finish. Not as hoppy as expected from description. Pretty average doppelbock.

courtesy of cigarcitybrew 750ml bottle. Pours mahogany with white head. aroma / taste grainy, with plenty of nice caramel malts and roastiness. Notes of sugar. Enjoyable.

(bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Clear red pour with a puffy and soapy off-white head that lasts for a bit. Aroma is rather sweet with hints of candied sugars, sweet malts, yeast, apples, and some spice. Flavor is sweet at the beginning but fades to a mildly bitter middle that’s laced with apple skins, sweet malts, and some dry grassy notes. A bit water and very fruity for a doppelbock.

Bours mahogany with a thin but stubborn off white head. Smells of caramel, some dark fruit, pepper, spice. Tastes of sweet caramel, some tarte hints, fruity, a touch od earthiness. Decent.

Pours a brown-orange color with a medium, tan head. Heavy, caramel malt aroma with a hint of hops. Much like the aroma, the taste is a strong malty, caramel flavor with a moderate alcohol taste at the finish. A well done brew, but a bit overpriced.

Lightly burnt orange to copper color. Moderate, lasting, beige head. A few rings of lace. Heavy malt aromas with toasted bread, light caramel and scones. Hints of grassy and noble hops. I thought I caught a hint of mold but only pick it up once and have not found it again. Malty start with again, caramel and toasted grains. Middle is full of hops and rather aggressive with plenty of bite. The middle lead to a mild burn and heat. Finish is hot with hazelnut and alcohol.
