Slightly sweet doppelbock, dark brown/ruby with thin silky beige head. Aroma is mostly roast grains with a hint of molasses. Taste has the sweetness come on full bore, with dark grains sharing the palate. Sweet nature hides the high ABV. This is a real gem.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly cloudy dark reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of big raisin, prune, caramel, molasses, nuttiness, biscuit, herbal, toast, and light earthy spiciness. Very nice aromas with good strength, balance, and complexity. Taste of raisin, biscuit, caramel, molasses, nuttiness, toffee, toast, light chocolate, and earthy spiciness. Lingering notes of dark fruit, molasses, caramel, toast, nuttiness, toffee, light chocolate, and earth on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance of flavors with good complexity; almost zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and thick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with hardly any warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice doppelbock! Nicely balanced with good complexity; very smooth to sip on. Really enjoyable offering.

01/06/2012 Birrifugio Trastevere (tap). Bruna, riflessi color coca cola, abbastanza densa e lievemente torbida, schiuma bianco-sporca non molto abbondante e non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, caramello, pane, zucchero di canna, con note tostate. In bocca è dolce, caramellata, zuccherosa, toffee, liquirizia nel finale. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Alla lunga risulta stucchevole come molte doppeldock, ma nel complesso non è male.

Tap @ Huber Haus Omaha. Pours a clear dark orangish brown appearance with a fluffy, tan head. Lots of sweet notes in the aroma including caramel, raisin, fig, port, and black cherries. Toasty dark caramel malty, chocolate, dark fruity, raisin, plum flavor with a lingering caramel, syrupy sweetness. Maybe a little too sweet for me but still tasty.
