Bottle w/ swing-top: Poured a chocolate brown color with a red tint around the edges, head was beige. The aroma was dark fruits with chocolate and roasted nuts. Taste was fruit and roasted touch, sweet dry finish with nuts. Made me feel warm.

Oct 6, 2008 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also, very much foam for a doppelbock. Tastes strong and spicy, like christmas, intense but not alcoholic finish. Not too malty. Really good!
Big thanks to joss for the bottle!

Malty, grainy taste with notes of dark bread, caramel, dried fruit, apricots and spicy hops in the finish. Medium body, rather sweet.
