Brewed by McKenzie Brew House
Style: Doppelbock
Glen Mills, Pennsylvania USA

Poured a dark brown, red color with a small, light tan head that left very light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, caramel malts, dried fruits, and chocolate. Taste was much the same, very chocolatey and roasty, with spices, some smoke, and some bananas as well. Very tasty.

On tap at McKenzie’s. Poured a dark brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of roasted malts, light chocolates and some toffee. Tastes of roasted malts, chocolate, caramel and slightly bready. 7.3% alcohol content hidden. Light to medium sweet.

On tap at Malvern... Appears a dark crimson with a light tan head that slowly fades into a gentle cap and lasting collar. Lots of streaky lacing is left around the glass. Smell is of cocoa, rich english toffee, mild anise, vanilla, and caramel. Taste is of the above mentioned aromas with more roasted nut flavors pulling through. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied of malted grain with rich mollasses and brown sugar weighing heavily on the tongue. Notes of butter rum raisin cake and toffee ice cream linger along the palate with some boozy heat. Sweet and chewy.

Enjoyed @ the pub. Poured a small tan head, fair retention with spotty laceing. An almost black brew but with deep ruby red highlights. Nose of medium sweet malts, caramel, roast and a light spiceyness. Body is med/full, creamy on the palate. Good roast and light coffee flavors, licorice and caramel malts, light sourness and a light earthiness. Finish is lightly sweet and lingering. Alcohol is well hidden. A nice Doppel!

Poured a deep mahogany color body with a small, lasting beige head. Aroma was brown sugar, carmel, and raisins. Roasted malt and brown sugar flavors dominate with some hints of molasses and a little alcohol. Pretty good Doppel.

KSBF07. Poured reddish-brown, thin off white head, ok lacing. The aroma was brown sugar and dried dark fruits, faint chocolate. Flavor was raisins, brown sugar, sligthly bittered chocolate, finishing with other dark fruit/figgy notes and some caramel. Mouthfeel was full for the style, nicely done.

KSBF07 Poured a dark red with small head. Aroma was of caramel malts dark fruits and some chocolate. Flavor was much the same roasted bitter chocolate some spices as well. Not bad at all.

ksbf 07. Pours a deep amber/toasty brown with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit on the caramelly sweet side and not as toasty as I would like, but still has hints of nuts, and light munich hints but lots of caramel and crystal malts- a bit sharp smelling. Full flavor of caramel malts, dried fruits, apricot hints, toffee, and a light bitterness in the end. Fairly smooth finish with a good body.
