440ml can as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Brownish Amber and clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Toast, caramel, malts in the aroma. Pretty simple but gorgeous. Taste is out of this world. Sweet and bready with toffee and a slight astringency, which paves the way for a more balanced finish. Medium body with crisp but not overbearing carbonation. Impressive.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy deep amber body with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee and earth. Flavour of caramel and roasted malt. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is tasty - it’s very easy drinking and soft.

Gorgeous glowing pour. Moderate sweetness, toasted caramel, bready malts, toffee, nips of earthy hop, a hint of vanilla. Really well balanced. One of the most drinkable doppelbocks I can recall.
