Dark brown colour with a beige head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavour is malty, sweet and caramelish. Medium to full-bodied, sweet and slightly bitter finish. Very good doppelbock.

Bottled. Deep intensive ruby, lovely creamy beige head. Buttery rye bread aroma, malty ans simple. Sweet rye bread malty flavor w/ liquorice, rye pudding, little dried fruits. Herbal and slightly ashy finish. Full bodied, lush mouthfilling carbonation. A good, soothing dobbelbock.

Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a nice dark brown. Aroma of malt, nuts, hops. Tastes malty, with some hops and roasty hints.

A well balanced tasty dark german brew. prunes/raisins, caramel, scotch and chocolate all available here. Not an every day drinker so not a favorite for me...but defenitely something delicious I will come back to.

Pours clear yet dark amber with infra red edges and firm wavy frothy nearly creamy tan head. Great looking brew. I can get a sense of the aroma from three feet away. Upon closer inspection I get a pleasing combination of roasted malts, some graininess and sweet caramel candy to go along with a light amount of estery sting. Good gravy, the taste is luscious. I get rich roasty malts mingling first with a moderate level of dark fruity esters and then creamy caramel. Wow. By midway I’m detecting a bit of chocolate malts, biscuit malts and mild nuttiness. This is bold yet smooth. Just delicious.

Excellently crafted beer. Poured from a bottle purchased in Miami Beach with a fine, tan, foamy, frothy, slightly textured head and some lace. Very dark walnut color with dark amber highlights. Aroma is malty, slight anise and rootbeer. Flavor’s the same but first dry and then sweet. Great body! Silky smooth, fine carbonation and mouth filling. Hints of alcohol. Good finish but maybe too much for a session beer.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a quickly disappearing head. There’s a small line of lacing along the rim of the glass. I smell toffee, grape bubblegum, pumpernickel bread with an earthiness and something like rootbeer. Mouthfeel is medium light. I taste wood, burnt nuts, prune, toffee more grape and sugar. There is a bitterness that lingers in the finish.

50cl bottle from Beverage Castle (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear dark brown-reddish color with a thick and foamy tan head that settles quickly but still laces the glass. Aroma is sweet malt, milk chocolate, banana, some hints of honey, caramel and malted milk. Flavor is pretty much the same -- lots of sweet malt, chocolate, maybe some hints of toffee, caramel and ripe fruit. Generally medium body with a sweet and slightly hoppy finish.
