Uerige Doppel Sticke

Dark, beautiful, brown color. Perfect tan/cream colored head. Everything a German beer should look like. Very mild leather and nut aroma. Great nutty, raisiny, slightly spicy flavor. Very earthy and much more like a harvest ale/barleywine/etc than I expected. Great beer. Ends with a nice bitterness akin to less hoppy IPA’s. Don’t misunderstand me, you aren’t going to get big citrus and flower notes in the flavor, just a nice bitterness to round out all the heavy maltiness. My only complaint is that the palate is a bit sticky and feels like there’s a film on the roof of my mouth. Overall though, an excellent beer and probably the best dopplebock I’ve ever had.

courtesy of fiulijn; a huge thank you for this one! - clear brown colour with a poor head retention; very malty, nutty and earthy aroma with a solid hop presence and some alcohol notes too; sticky and full-bodied, a solid malt sweetness; very bitter and long malty earthy and hoppy finish - robust and complex, a great beer

Bottle. Dark brown color. Very impressive aroma. Clean and crisp balance of fruit, alcohol, malt and hops. Slightly citric, roasted malt, caramelly, like honey-roasted almonds. Red fruits in rum, strawberries, raspberries. A faint hint of noble hops in the last whift. Very reminicent of some great american Barley Wine. Flavor is big with raisiny sweetness, caramel, nuts, dried fruits and preserves. Really syrupy sweet, but just barely rescued by a roasted malt finish and a dry bitter bite.

Swingtop bottle pours a hazy, dark chestnut body with a small beige head that leaves island chain lacing. Malty aroma has toffee and chocolate with some spicy hops. Taste is malt driven, as well. Toffee, caramel, dark chocolate, dark frutis, nuttiness, and a hint of roast. Spicy hops add balancing bitterness. Very flavorful. Topnotch for style.

Bottle 330ml. w. swing top.

Bottle at Papsø. Hazy orange red coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel and dried fruits. Sweet flavour of malts, caramel and dried fruits. Sweet finish.

Hazy with a tiny beige head. Sweet and oxidized aroma with caramel and malty notes. Flavour was sweet and had overripe fruits, malt, caramel and hoppy notes. Finished sweet with warming alcohol.

Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and some fruit. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and a bit of alcohol, leading to an alcohol dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
