Slow gusher that churned up a massive excess of yeasty gunk from the bottom of the bottle. Aroma does carry some of that yeast too. Flavour is great though with rich malts and a light milk chocolate background.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 9A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 1610. AROMA: malty strong with Maillard notes and some toffee. Slight vinous notes and faint plums and dark chocolate. APPEARANCE: dark ambar color and clear. medium head of beige color with medium-low retention and slight leg formation. TASTE: of malt similar to the aroma Maillard: bread crust, toasty). Slight toffee note. Medium-low bitterness with malt balance. Semi-dry finish and slight bitter. clean lager profile. PALATE: medium-high body and creamy. medium-low carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: a good doppelbock well within the style. needs some carb improvement.
