Bottle. Not the best dopplebock I’ve ever had but man can it ever kick you in the tale. It sneaks up on you. Anyway, nice color and flavor. Probably won’t drink again. Just way too strong.

0.33 bottle from Austria. It has a strong alcoholic aroma and heavy cloying sweetness, with the taste of alcohol as well.Full bodied with a long warm finishing. Good quality, but not my cup of tea.

Pours a deep mahogany, with no head to speak of. Aroma is very nice, loads of malt, malt, and more malt! There is also a big ripe fruit, brandy, and nuttiness. Flavour is quite sweet, and malty, with big brandy flavours. The mouthfeel is THICK, the alcohol is definitely present, but its not a prevalent as you would think for a 14% beer. The alcohol wamrs on its way down my throat, but its welcome, and doesnt overpower. Just a superb sipping beer.

2016 vintage 330ml bottle brought in a Dornbirn supermarket in June 2017 on my multi country road trip, cellared since in Jersey. Pours a clear brown with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, brown sugar, raisins, toffee, dark fruits, bread, nuts, hints of syrup & hints of alcohol. Medium body. Well balanced throughout. Long lingering sweet mildly alcohol finish. Very enjoyable & far better than I expected with the high alcohol reasonably well hidden

A subtle and generous beer, so malty and smooth at the palate, your bread in cup for the morning with notes of toffee, plum, a bit smocked and rich sensation in the mouth, a doppel bock of first quality. 26.12.2020

Аромат довольно сладкий, немного напоминает хороший коньяк. Вкус безумно сладкий, очень карамельный, чувствуется мёд. При послевкусие ощущается сухофрукты. При адских 14 градусах алкоголь не ощущается. Одним словом действительно благородное пиво.
