Poured a darker brown with red tints. Aroma is big malt, caramel, and brown sugar with a very mild alcohol note. Taste was also malty but not as big as a doppelbock could be. Notes of cooked brown sugar and mild alcohol. Small amount of hops at the end. Great for this time of year in Germany. Enjoyable but not the best.

Sort of powdery, sweet, grainy malt aroma with slight cardboard and dried fruit notes. Clear garnet-brown under a lasting, thin, tan, flanel blanket. Smooth bread crust and dried fruit flavour with apricot, raisin, and cashew accents. Sweet, grainy malt is nicely balanced by a medium bitterness. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter nut finish.
