Consumed at Union Barrel Works, July 2007
Cloudy burgundy and brandy colored body, with a nicely-formed foamy medium-tan head. Fruity nose, high alcohol not apparent but the sweetness sure is – fruity and toasty, similar to the maibock, actually. Some sugared fruit, light char, dark cherries/plums/dates/etc. When warmed it’s more boozy, a little strange – more cherry and wood come out when warm, but no chocolate. Faint, uncomplex but unteredting. A bit far away from traditional doppelbock but still quite tasty.

Draft. Deep brownish copper pour with 1-finger tan head. Aroma of roasty caramel/Munich malt, brown sugar, figs. Tastes caramel malty, with some brown sugar notes, figgy fruit, and some finishing hop hints. Stays fruity and malty throuhgout, and those two components balance each other well.

Tap @ UBW. Poured a lightly hazed deep copper color. The aroma has notes of dark fruit and light raisins. The aroma is semi-sweet. The flavor is malty with a hint of chocolate. The finish is hoppy, very warming and semi-dry. Mild bitterness with a light-medium body.

Poured a lightly hazy, mahogany color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of baked bread, caramel malts, light cocoa, nuts, roast, and a bit of sweet chocolate. Taste of roasted, toasted malts, light smoke, nuts, and toffee, with a bit of fruitiness in the finish.
