Jul 6, 2007 500ml bottle. Clear and deep palisander body with dark red shades. Low level foam. Moderate aroma of sweet caramel malts and cocoa. Rich taste of dark malts, dark fruits and roasted grain. Yeast in the finish gives the beer a welcoming touch of sourness. Medium to full bodied. Very much enjoyed at Schinken-Peter, Oberhaching (17.06.2007).

Jun 18, 2007 Bottle from the Kulminator in Antwerp. This bottle had been aged a few years, and I thought it was a touch passed its prime. Notes of oxidation, not painfully distracting, but kinda just kicking around enough to wish it were newer. Toasty and warming with a fruity chocolate finish. Light clove spicing in the finish and minerally.

Apr 4, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Earthy toffee and various berries are sculpted by a talented maltiness which creates a healthy body. This classic doppelbock cannot disappoint if you have a hankering for a textbook example of the style.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-Nose is a timid version of the flavor profile.
-A slice of foam sits atop the transparent mahogany.
-Mineral notes don’t bother.
-The mouthfeel isn’t too heavy, nor is it too scrawny.
-There is little supporting hoppiness, but it is present with some herbaceous qualities.
-Timid roastiness renders more complexity to the already pleasurable maltiness.
Bottle; best before Sept.’07.
