Release #10 is only 3.4%!!! A bottle from Craft Beer Base in Osaka. This is a table beer. It pours a dark reddish brown with a fast dissipating head. It has a nice sweet malty aroma, thick body featuring caramel & a bitter kick. It’s very full bodied. An amazing beer for being only 3.4%! Hmmm... I knew it was too good to be true, the label misprinted and it is actually 8.4%!!! So I guess it is amazing instead for not being boozy at all and so drinkable...

Release#4 9% ABV. 22oz bomber, didn’t open with much of a hiss, but it still had a nice off white head on top of a filtered ruby-amber red-brown body. A pretty well done Doppelbock certainly, captures some nice lager notes. Smooth creamy malt tones. A touch thin at times, sort of makes you wonder how it would have been unfiltered, but I imagine the way it is keeps it way more drinkable. Rich bready, fig, butterscotch, dessert finish. Really enjoyable beer!

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; Release #2, bottled 2/15/2012. Pours slightly hazy reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger dense cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings to the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, toffee, toast, molasses, chocolate, raisin, nuttiness, biscuit, earth, leather, and light herbal. Damn nice aromas with big malt complexity and balance. Taste of big caramel, toffee, toast, molasses, chocolate, raisin, nuttiness, biscuit, leather, light roast, earth, and light herbal spiciness. Lingering notes of caramel, toffee, toast, molasses, biscuit, chocolate, nuttiness, raisin, light prune, earth, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic malt complexity and balance; with almost zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very creamy and slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent doppelbock! Fantastic malt complexity and balance; and very smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering; one of the better doppelbocks I have had.

Grabbed at Tops in Tempe. 22oz bomber pours clear deep copper with a tan looking head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet malts, caramel, dark fruity esters and a pleasing breadiness. The taste is surprisingly similar with sweet malts, some ripe red apple and apricot moving into caramel and a nice grounding sort of breadiness. This thing is just hitting the spot right now with its richness, complexity and balance.

Bomber - clear light ruby - frothy lace - a bit of caramel and light melanoidin notes upon first sniff, followed by a light metallic character and alot of bright, fruity notes, lightly floral hops, and finally, some alcohol (a bit too much) - medium body - low carbonation - fairly sweet, but a clean sweetness - some raisin, dried cherries, caramel - mild floral bitterness on the tail end, as well as some alcohol heat - some good stuff happening, but this can’t sustain the abv so the alcohol comes on far too strong - knock this down to 7% at the most and you may have a winner.

Phone rate. Bottle. Release 3.Medium haze bronze hued body with a very small but mostly retentive off white head. Aroma shows a light phenolic presence that is odd. But mostly grainy and nutty. Light leather, odd smoked note. Baked bread, husky. Clean yeast. Flavors are malty, medium sweet, lower melanoidins, some alcohol, medium hop presence (high for the style: grassy, herbal). Clean yeast, low leather, raisinsted fruit. A bit one dimensional. Medium low carbonation light caramelized flavors, medium body. Good, but not my favorite Epic product.
