Originally called "liquid bread," the Dopplebock style guided monks through periods of penitent fasting. Wolfgang has heavenly notes of caramel, dark fruit, and toffee balanced by a subtle hop character. While its revered history evokes and appreciation of austerity and sacrifice, this Dopplebock is a rich luxury - no repentance required.

Bottle - Nutty, dark bread with some caramel and dark fruit. Dark caramel with a beige rich head. Lots of dark malts and bread, with a sweet raisin finish. Nice.

Bottle at Fastelavn Smagning 2014 @ J&C’s beer palace, Jutland Saturday Session 2 - 01/03/14. Lightly hazed dark amber/chestnut brown with a good sized beige covering that thins to spottage. Nose is toffee, brown sugars, dark fruit, light booze, spice rack. Taste comprises dark toffee, musty fruit mash, brown sugars, bitter smacks, light booze. Medium + bodiment, fine carbonation, sweet licks in the close. I thought this was a little boring, failed to deliver any great flavour for the ABV and likely the poorest offering I’ve had from GD.

Bottle courtesy of Jan at Craigs doing a Chris O tasting, Edingburgh (ta for the beer Jan) Friday 14th March Dark brown this does have that signature Great Divide taste I cannot say for sure or define what that is, but when I tasted this and was told it was Great Divide other beers from their cannon came straight into my mind and there were distinct taste similarities. Some chocolate, soft and smooth roastiness, leaves a back bite, a furriness on roof of mouth. Its nice. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6

Bottle, 11C. Clear brown with a beige head that fades to less than a coat. Aroma of raisins and praline, subtle spices. Sweet and nutty with raisins and prunes. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Dries out discretely at the end where there’s a hint of spices and a bit more bitterness than you might expect. Although very sweet, it’s not all that rich - the sweetness is not justified by depth but rather dealt with by the finish. Kept thinking this isn’t quite what it purports to be but enjoying it anyway.

Bottle. Feels very american in all ways. Bygger and more aggressive campared to the average german bock. Heavy notes of chocolate and liquor.

Bottle from systembolaget. Pours redish amber with a big head. Malty taste with marzipan. An American twist of hoppyness.
