Brewed by Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg
Style: Doppelbock
Vorchdorf, Austria

Dark red colour, small white head. Aroma of syrup and caramel. Flavour of maple syrup, licoruce, caramel and toffee. Pleasant finish.

dark copper colour. small brown head. smess of roastey malts with aromes of coffee and liquorice. starts as it smells. later more hops-aromes, but primaly roasted malts.

Clear brown color, short off-white head. Aroma of malt, slight hop, maple syrup, syrup, toffee, caramel. Sweet stringent taste, caramel, burned. Not bad.

Nice name for a beer, two styles. Looks and smells nice. Flavor is weird in that it at first comes off as way too much alcohol, like the other beers from these guys that I’ve had. This one, however, gets much better as the beer goes along and has a quite pleasant finish.

Dark ruby/brown and 2.5 cm of dense, light tan head. Aroma of rich malt, dark fruits, roasted toffee, subtle brandy-like alcohol. Flavor adds candied dark fruits, subtle candy licorice, very subtle crisp and earthy hop in the finish. Full body, very smooth, lightly viscous. Nice doppelbock, underrated at 3.35, but not by much.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brown clear with ruby hihglights, grayish off white head and nice lace. Aroma is slightly oxidized wet paper and cardboard, tons of thick sweet caramel and toasted malts, rich munich malts with hints of soy- pretty nice. Flavor is full malty, nutty, lots of munich, nutty, light on the chocolate side, some herbal and earthy tones, tons of caramel and toffee with a good smooth finish. Overall it is a bit too papery and not quite up to the standards of some of the best Doppelbocks, but is still solid.

Dark mahogany color; big head. Malt aroma with some caramel, the opposite in the flavor, where the caramel dominates; there is also a touch of cereals; it’s quite sweet, but the mouthfeel is not thick. And the bitterness at the end balances the malt and the sweetness. Not complex, but quite good.

Eggenberg Doppelbock was a well done brew! It poured a brown color with nice carbonation (very bubbly) but no head. Almost a slight red hue within the brown. The taste started off malty and sweet but finished with a smoky/spicy hop kick. I enjoyed this one alot. Despite the complexity, it was very drinkable too!
