Bottiglia. Territorio olfattivo dominato dal orzo tostato, caramello e floreale. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La parte liquida appare opalescente. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è ambrato torbido. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è sufficiente. Sul tetto della bocca si attestano impressioni di caramello, miele, liquirizia, nocciole tostate, frutta secca e pane tostato.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Beer label with a woman of loose morals on it, hazy brown coloured with very well hidden but identifiable sourness and good hints of caramel. Not really an German Doppelbock interpretation but more an Dutch micro-brew variation.

(Draught at Birra, Berlin, 14 Aug 2024) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, chocolate and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, liquorice, dark bread and a mild herbal bitterness in a sweetish finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. Tasty, harmonious and well balanced. Very nice.

Wat maken ze die bockjes hier lekker zacht.

True to german style. Malty rich and sweet, more that sweet than it should be. But it is well brewed. Not hoppy at all. Lambrate milano
