Aroma: Strong roasted malt, sweet with slight chocolate on the nose. Appearance: Dark brown with ruby highlights. Off white foam head with good retention. Flavor: Caramelized rich maltiness with a hint of chocolate. Alcohol of 7.2% is warming and not overwhelming. Hops are supporting roll and not prominent, but strong enough to balance it to the malty side. Overall: This is a great beer. Strong malt, sweet and smooth. Excellent overall taste with well caramelized flavors. Highly recommended. Cheers.

12oz bottle, Aroma is malty with fruit juice, and sweet malts. Nice Dark brown hue with a medium sized off-white head that mostly diminished and left no lace. Flavor is sweet and malty with an average finish. Palate is full bodied and oily flat. Less offensive than a belgium but still not my style.

Nice dark pour with small head. Flavor is malty with astringent backing. A little too much alcohol burn to this one, but I can’t complain. Great beer.

Bottle. Nutmeg aroma along with some roasted notes. Dark body but held to light you get a mahagany red body with decent head. Flavor is not overly sweet as most doppelbock tend to be for me. Caramel, tooffe, nutty and coffee flavors present. Thick body texture. Little chewy tobbaco left on palate. Decent beer.
