Very dark transparant red with a large fluffy head. Malty aroma of maple syrup, caramel, dark fruit, bubblegum and licorice. Strong & complex taste of maple syrup, some saltiness (soy sauce), spices, roastiness, and sweet caramel. Great complexity in the malt profile. Slight yeastiness showed up but the hops were far away in the background and barely noticable. Very long malty sweet & salt finish. Soft mouthfeel, velvety but not without carbonation. Quite different from the more traditional doppelbocks but very good.

500ml bottle. pours deep brown w/slight ruby tint. the head seems a bit watery, with little retention. aromas aren’t too potent, but a good mix of anisette, slight cinnamon (mirrored in taste), sugar, and mineral-esque. the roasted malts really peak mid-palate, and there are raisin and dried apricot undertones. the finish is ever so slightly similar to a sour ale. more herbs are apparent on the back palate. good beer, different, but one i’d probably buy (again)

Bottle 50 cl (thanks rickgordon). Clear dark reddish brown, beige head. Roasted malt aroma, along with dried fruits. Full bodied and smooth. Well balanced with an initial mild sweetness, and a dry and moderately bitter finish.

Bottled. Dark red-amber colour. Heavy malt nose, with chocolate. Chocolatey backbone in flavour and good malty. Full-bodied and well balanced, but not very complex.

Pours dark brown with temporary foamy tan head. Sweet malt aroma. Creamy initial flavor, very malty...great taste. As doppelbocks go, this is a top ten.

One bottle from BOTW. Poured a large slightly tan head. Deep brown color with a sweet toasted malt aroma. Flavor the same. A nice thick chewy bock. It’s great that there is no hops bite in this. Just goodness. Enjoyable
