Ticks: 5

In the style of a doppelbock, this dark lager has strong roots in Turkish beer culture. Reportedly the first beer to be manufactured in the Turkish republic in the first factory! A favourite of Ataturk. The high alcohol content is balanced by the well rounded character. Caramel and toffee notes are the first flavours to be noted followed by the crisp uniqueness of hallertauer hops. Munich malt adds to the richness of the brew.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear, amber colored. AROMA- low, yeasty, toasted malts, touch of bubble gum. FLAVOR- slightly sweet, yeasty, toasted malts, warming alcohol presence. Full bodied.
Odd, but acceptable.

A lightly copper golden Bock with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light dark fruits, OK. In mouth, cloying sweet burned caramel malt with light fruity notes, esters, oily mouth feel, OK. On tap at brewery .

Draught. Dark amber with small beige foamy head, the "signature" doughy aroma with a hint of caramel, sweetish caramel taste, low carbonation, long caramel finish. Too much caramel in this one.
