A very good Doppelbock. Sweet and very smooth caramel flavor dominates the flavor profile. Full and somewhat creamy mouthfeel, nourishing and quite filling. Finishes clean with no off flavors.

From the tap poured a dark brown color with a good amount of head. Nice strong sweet malty flavor with a lasting finish.

This is an interesting malt liquor. Pours thick and golden red. Like drinking caramel syrup... sweet sugary and thick. Ultra smooth body, creamy with some burnt aftertastes. A good beer, though I’m not used to the style I guess.

pours out clear brown and semi thick with an offwhite bubbly head that fell really fast. the body is dark maroon ruby with very litlle bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass with no lacing at all. the aromas are that of caramel and butter scotch with a nice roasty scent to it. the flavours are definate roasted caramel and toffee. the mouthfeel is medium bodied with very moderate sutel carbonation with no aftertaste and soft on the palate. nice winter beer to drink on a cold day.

Pours a deep dark brown color with reddish hues. Aroma of toasted grain and malt. Flavor is of roasted grain/malt with a hint of sweet chocolate. Has an almost creamy texture. Quite good.
