Style: Doppelbock
Kelheim, Niederbayern, Germany

An old favorite of mine, having one now, time to rate! Pours a nice dark ruby/brown,with a large fluffy head that’s gone quickly, sweet but not sticky, clean aftertaste, easy drinking. Caramel, earthy, Sweet, but subdued. Great beer,Great drinker!

Pours ruby with a mostly receding tan head. Taste of caramelized wort, dark bread, toffee, malty fruits from the caramel. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. An excellent doppelbock that’s not unlike liquid bread.

Bottle from the beerangel store, shared with ogivlado and heavy
Medium sized off white head, thick and not going anywhere for some time. Dark red body, nice. Grainy, sweet, heavy malty nose, notes of dogfood, not bad, didn’t particularly enchant me though. Grainy taste, roasty maltiness that’s roasty in a way, so dry it’s bordering dogfood again, which isn’t all that much pleasant in my opinion. No hop, but that’s ok for the style I guess. Sorry, expected more and better, much better.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. A deep ruby colour with nice tan head. Sweet malt aroma with raisins. Intense flavour, very malty with some hop to balance it up. Sweet, roasted honey with some nice bitterness at the end. Full bodied with an excellent mouthfeel. Excellent beer.

Bouteille de 500 ml par HogTownHarry. Brun foncé, peu de collet. Arome de malte rich, de fruit murie sucré. Assé bon goût fruit rouge, un peu malté. Très bon.

Dark brown with a medium off-white head, quickly dissipating. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar and bread. Taste of caramel, fruit and mild sweet malts. Alcoholic taste from the word go that proceeds throughout and leaves a mild burn on the back end. Dry, astringent and watery, not a big fan of this one.

(3/7/08) Bottle from a trade with Koelschtrinker drank in my hostel room in Ghent. Dark brown with a big beige, rather quickly-diminishing, head. Aroma with lots of malt, notes of roastiness, some bread, caramel and maybe a bit of licorice. Malty, dark bready flavor, with caramel and hints of chocolate. Medium to full body with a soft velvety mouthfeel. Lovely!

Bottle 0,5l. Dark red. A tanned head lasting a few minutes. Malty and fruity. The aftertaste is varied leaving a dry, roasted impression. A nice winter warmer.
