Unsere brünette Schönheit ist ein wahrer Augen- und Gaumenschaums. Eingebraut aus dunklem Spezialmalz und feinstem fränkischen Aromahopfen, entzückt sie uns, nach einer 4-monatigen Reifung in unserem Lagerkeller mit ihrer Schaumkrone die an Bayrisch Cremé erinnert. Die Herznote kombiniert die süß-herbe Sinnlichkeit des dunklen Spezialmalzes und gipfelt in der Fülle überreifer Herz-Kirschen.

0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 10.06.26. Now listed with 7,5 % abv. Clear dark reddish in the glass with a nearly two finger pale beige head. Looks really good. Sweet malty aroma, little bit fruity, some caramel. Taste starts malty, little bit roasted, increasing sweet fruity, present but pleasant alcoholic. Woody elements with nuts. Easy to drink. Really nice.

Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass dark brown, nice head. Fine roasty-malty aroma. Starts fine soft-malty, shy roasty, sweetish notes, but not as heavy as other doppelbocks. Fine woody hints, some caramel, some herbs. Well balanced finish. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Bottle picked up from Sedats Schlüggla Getrankemarkt, Schwaig bei Nürnberg and consumed at home, sat out in the garden in the company of Mum and Keith, Saturday 21st June 2025 (Summer Solstice) after a day in Passau, we had BBQ'd Persian Chicken, Cous Cous etc for tea. Poured mahogany in colour with an off white large frothy head. Malty aroma, caramel and toffee dominate Flavor also mostly waves of sweet maltiness, toffee and caramel, decent Doppelbock which I need to revisit as about a third of the way through, I decided I didn't really fancy this style of beer at this time and couldn't finish it all.

0.5l bottle, huge thanks guys! Hazy red to dark amber body, off-white head. Caramelly and dried-fruit driven big malty aroma. Creamy, sweetish taste, dried fruit and caramel, with light chocolate touches. Quite nice, above average!

Heuer ist es mir endlich gelungen, ein paar Fläschla des legendären Meinel-Bräu Absolvinator zu ergattern, direkt aus dem Brauereiverkauf in Hof. - Dunkles Kupferrotbraun, klar; reichlich Schaum. - In der Nase dichtes dunkles Malz, feine Lakritze, Mokka, nur eine Andeutung herbalen Hopfens. - Antrunk satt und weich dunkelmalzig mit feinen Röstaromen, Mokka, Bitterschokolade und dezenter Kirsche, schön kontrastiert von frischer zitroniger Hopfung. Milder rezent, vollmundig; perfekt kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang kakaobitter und hintergründig hopfenherb. - Ungewöhnlich eleganter, ausgereifter Doppelbock, zwar sortentypisch dicht dunkelmalzig aber vergleichsweise leicht und rund, nicht so fett und plump wie manche. Klasse! (3.3.2020.)
