Heavyweight Bock-Bock

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Doppelbock
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

An unclear orange-brown beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic with strong notes of caramel, making it a really powerful aroma, the alcohol also renders it a hint of metal. The flavor is very complex and, as the aroma, very powerful, with strong notes of caramel and alcohol, but also with lesser notes of metal, over ripe fruit, and freash peaches. The alcohol pricklies the tongue and dries out the mouth.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of malts, fruits, caramel and vegetables. Sweet flavour of caramel, fruits and dried fruits. Warming alcoholic finish.

Bottle thanx to John. Dark orange colour with a small beige head. Caramel malty, hay, fruity aroma and a light sweet alcoholic, caramel malty, hay taste. Medium to full body with a sweet light alcoholic finish.

On tap. Poured a deep orange, almost brown, color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of toffee, some dark fruits, caramel and I got some nuttiness out of it. Very malty.

-750ml bottle-pours a big tan head with dark copper color. Aroma is sweet, dark malt, dark fruit, smokey/toasty. Taste follows along with alcohol. Nicely done big beer, though not my style.

Sampled from a bottle shared by beeryum on 7/2/06: Pours a dark copper orange with a frothy well-lacing tan head. Sweet toasty caramel malty aroma has nice authenticity and good German lager yeasty character. Body starts with a sweet authentic caramel maltiness and nice, mild noble hoppiness toward a slightly drier, mildly warming German yeasty finish. A very nice doppelbock.

Draft at DRE event. Deep copper orangy pour, with minimal head. Aroma of caramel malt, fruit, some brown sugar. Tastes of caramel malt, borwn sugar, some apricotty maibocky notes.
