A stronger, darker version of the Bocks of Germany, dopplebocks were designed in monasteries for sustenance during fasting. Rich, intensely malty and lightly hopped, these strong lagers require extended conditioning to dissipate the acidity associated with strong ales.

11th October 2008. GABF. Clear dark brown beer. Nicely balanced toffeeish malt with just a hint of hops. Smooth silky finish.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Down Beach Liquors, 11/10/09
Aroma: Sort of sweet nose with some toasted characteristics, caramel and cherries, along with a bit of plum
Appearance: This one pours a dark reddish brown color with a lot of fluffy tan head atop it
Flavor: Tastes much like it smells with a strong malty flavor that feel much like a nice Doppelbock should
Palate: This beer has a decent amount of body, it's not an overpowering beer, but it is really quite solid and drinkable
Overall Impression: I almost forgot where I purchased this one, but then I remembered. I thought it was a local beer to NJ (because I hadn't seen it before and it was sold at a beach liquor store), but contrary to my belief of what they would offer, it is a relatively rare, but still non-local beer. Anyway, this one feels like a really nice beer, and I enjoyed drinking it quite a bit.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a dark brown with a brown head. Aroma was full of dark fruit and a dark malty note. Flavor was had notes of chocolate, dark grains and raisins with an alcohol finish.

This bock poured a deep black colour with a nice, big, frothy, tan colour head. To the nose there are scents of molassass, brown sugar and more molassass. First taste was thick and dense with flavours of dark malt, corn sugar and molassass. Oily mouthfeel with a very sweet finish. And go figure a molassass palate...

Pours mahogany into a stem glass. Immediate 4-finger head with tenacity. Cocoa aromas. Mild and unobtrusive with hints of coffee and cocoa. Slight sour caramel finish.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Very dark brown color with garnet notes. Multi-finger beige head. Nice aromas of spicy hop and dark fruit. Medium body with very vigorous carbonation. Tastes of brown sugar, burnt caramel, and some low level spice. Makes the mouth tingle. Finishes brown sweet, but not sickly so, the burnt malt bittering a mediation. Still think there is spice, but can’t pin that down. It is a very tasty lager.

Dark ruby beer, with a huge, frothy, off-white head that lasts - the aroma is a little metallic and coppery, but there are complex notes of date, raisin, and toffee underneath, as well as a little doughy character - a nice balance of caramel sweetness and an almost coffee-like bitterness - a little bit of raisin and black cherry - the finish gets a little thin and unnecessarily bitter, but it’s still fairly nice - a decent doppel.

Sample at Gallo’s Taproom in Columbus. Pours dark brown with red around the edges. Thin and creamy beige head that dissipates quickly, and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and dark fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of caramel malt and toasted nuts, plus some hops. ABV is well-masked. The finish is mildly roasty with a grainy malt aftertaste. Just average overall.
