Commercial Description:
This strong, dark lager was originally brewed as a liquid bread to sustain Bavarian monks while fasting. Its complex malt character comes from brewing with many varieties of dark roasted caramel malt and long periods of cold storage.

nice dark brown pour with a light tan head small bubbled some decent lacing. Rich malt smell toffee and a touch of bitter cherry. Big thick rich creamy palate. Flavor is sweet full malty toffee and carmel some dark fruits and touch of raisen. Pretty good.

Mild roast character and far too sweet on the palate. Needs more malt to add to the mouthfeel and perhaps a dryer characteristic to be considered a good doppel bock. Very average and barely what I would call a dopple bock.

Clear brown color with a nice tan head. Aroma is malts with some almond and autumn leaves. Mouthfeel is chewy and creamy with flavors of honey, butterfinger candy bar, dried cherries, subtly bitter hops and a warming alcohol taste behind. Im not liking the alcohol flavor, like jet fuel. It does have a nice belgian dubbel taste.

Pours a deep ruby red with a creamy half inch beige head. Aroma is lots of fruit up front with roasted malt and a brown sugar sweetness in the background. Flavor is like apple or plum fruit preserves up front followed up with a hit of caramel/brown sugar sweetness and a doughy flavor throughout. The sweetness is tempered nicely by the yeast and alcohol bitterness. Nice and full bodied with a sweet, spicey finish. I can see this why this was called liquid bread, a very satisfying beer.

Pours to a huge creamy beige head with an excellent head and a nice brown body. The aroma is definitely reminiscent of pears, burnt caramel, various malts, light soap? The flavor is is like a banana bread. Dark fruits and malts, light walnut, brown sugar fried bananas, yeast and spices. The head was so ungodly creamy. :) The body is decently bodied with a light alcohol and stickyness. This is a nice beer.

The main aroma component to me was pears and raisins and there was a lot of them. Taste is more fruits--dates, figs, and brown sugar/syrup with ooey gooey goodness and caramel oozing out of every sip. Body has hints of yeast and dough. Finish is light and slightly sticky. Very good.

Beautiful looking beer with a nice auroma. Sweet taste, with a full body. A beer that makes me feel happy inside.

Bottled. Sweet, malty aroma, toasty and sugary with a dark fruity background and notes of burnt caramel and black bread, some slight alcohol as it warms. Clear brownish red color with a fine, fading light tan head. Flavor profile is sweet and fruity, more dark caramel, brown sugar and plenty of raisin, finishing on a spicy, lightly bitter and gently warming note, followed by a long, lingering, pervasive dark malt character. Medium-full body, fairly smooth on the palate. Enjoyable, ultimately.
