Das bekannte und geschätzte Bockbier aus dem Hause FORST verdankt seine für diese Sorte einzigartige Karamellnote den besonderen Malzen sowie einem speziellen Herstellungsverfahren. Schon der erste Schluck erfüllt den Gaumen mit Freude, seine dunkle Wärme und die dezente Hopfennote erinnern an den urspründlichen Charakter der Starkbiere und an die traditionelle Braukunst der Klöster.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Alcoholic aroma. Starts soft-malty, not too dry or too sweet. Notes of chocolate and fruits - plum and raisins. Soft finish, well balanced. Not bad!

0.33 l bottle from Interspar, Udine. It poured a brown body with medium sized head. Caramel and fruity aroma, quite fine. Flavor was a bit empty, sweetish with some caramel, fruits, sugar, touch of coffee and some spicy bitterness. Quite lot of things I’ve stated here, but somehow doesn’t feel complex, probably as it lacks some body. Finish showed up some alcohol again, but not too much, or it was much when you consider the ABV. Nothing special for me, although fine.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy who brought it from Italy (huge thanks!). Poured a dark brown red body with a small off white head. Full malty nose with notes of dry figs. Dry malty taste, figs again, a bit salty, coffeeish. Some tasty but very light herbal hoppy bitterness. Pleasant and well balanced but didn’t think it was all that special. Might need to rerate it because the conditions were hardly optimal at that point.

Bottle. Clear, ruby-amber coloured, visible carbonation, firm creamy tanned head. Sweet wine, toasted/roasted malt and a tinge of alcohol in the nose. Moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied. Drier bitter-sweet finish with influences of brandy, sweet fruits and chocolate. Good, well balanced and well rounded Doppelbock................

[33cl bottle] Clear, dark amber colour with a thick beige foamy head. Molassy sweet malty aroma with strong notes of caramel, reminding me of Bavarian Blockmalz, accompanied by notes of sugar beet. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid, slightly roasted malty taste with distinctive notes of barley and draff, accompanied by shy herbal hops. Sweet and strong malty finish with a lasting, minimal prune-fruity aftertaste and a light but balancing hops character. [11.XII.08].

Tap. Chocolate malt with light smoky aroma. Medium brown with small head. Chocolate/brown sugar flavor with a slightly astringent grass hops finish. Nice bitter beer - pretty good - a bit light stylewise.
