Style: Doppelbock

Finally back in NJ. Tap at Andy’s, and bottle. I think my preference is the bottle.Clear copper, tan head. Malty dark bread aroma. Big malty flavor. Munich malts apparet. Thick mouth feel. Malty finish. Good double bock. Glad it is back.

Pours a reddish cola color, settles a bit darker with a nice clear gem-like glow, thin tannish head breifly makes an effort to stay but fizzes quickly down to a thin hazy skim and ring, lace in minimal spots. Aroma is a bit faint of toasty sweet malts and dark fruits lending some plum, raisin, dates, and dried apricot. Taste is a bit more filling, starts a little weak and thin but begins to gain malty weight with a nice toffeeish sweetness and finishes strongly with a nice mixing of dark fruits of plum, raisin, dates, and figs giving way to a little chewy caramel lingering finish which is super smooth and creamy. Nice finish on this. Theres a bit of a metallic twinge in the midway parts but is barely noticeable and appears mostly at the front of the tongue and the lips. Feel is close to medium with a light silken creamyness that floats through the palate with ease and the finish is quite nice with a light building of chewy sweetness. A soild dopplebock by any standards, good stuff.

Dark brown with red highlights and a nice tan foam. Aroma is full of dark fruit and sweet malt. Flavor is similar with some toffee, and yeast. It is a fairly complex flavor and is delicious. Great feel, too.

Caramelly malty aroma with spicy hops, smooth creamy aromas. Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Smooth and malty, caramel malts, traces of molasses, spicy hops, very very smooth. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. A really nice dopplebock.

Not my favorite dopplebock, but pretty good. Very rich flavor. Quite smooth for the ABV. I would recommend it.

16.9 oz bottle. Dark purple brown with a thin beige head. Nose is grape, toast, caramel and some honey. Enough to chew on without feeling heavy. Light carb. Taste is caramel and raisin with hints of tobacco. Nice burnt sugar finish. Very good. I was surprised at how much i liked this.

Bottle. Pours like syrup into the glass. Brown, nutty color that is thick and creates a thick foamy off white head. Nose is very nutty, lacking sweetness, but a nice toasty malt note is to be had. Palate is less syrupy then the pour and provides a nice fizz and dry finish. Flavors are toasty malts with a nice nutty flavor and a clean dry finish.

Draught at Q-Brick in Osaka. Lovely reddish brown color. Chewy, meal-like aroma of oatmeal, cereals, chocolate and biscuits. Amaxingly complex malt, with chocolate, caramel, raisins and lots of dried fruit. Creamy, smooth, chewy mouth with superbly soft malts. Fantastic.
