Great Taste 2017. In the real ale tent. Low carbonation. Smooth palate, very sweet and a lot of sugar, some earthy character. I like this on cask.

Amber. Aroma of malt that so many bocks have. Flavor is malt and sugar. Very sweet. Some caramel. Alcohol is not found in the taste.

Draft at oasis. From notes. Caramel and toffee dominate, hints of Roasty mAlt in the finish.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, 2012 vintage bottling. Pours slightly hazy deep reddish copper color with a 2 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, date, brown sugar, light nuttiness, light chocolate, slight tobacco/leather and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark fruit and dark/bready malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, date, brown sugar, light nuttiness, light chocolate, slight leather/tobacco, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Slight earthy/roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, raisin, plum, fig, date, brown sugar, light nuttiness/chocolate, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity and robustness of big dark fruit and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/dark fruit balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, moderately creamy, and slightly slick/bready mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome doppelbock style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of big dark fruit and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy copper pour, with a small, khaki head. Lots of vanilla, whiskey, butterscotch, with some notes of black bread, pine, and syrup. Very sweet, with a little hop bitterness toward the finish. Heavy body, warm and lively, with a little astringency and stickiness. Overall, this is a thick and sticky beer. Not bad.

12oz bottle pours a translucent but really bright, blazing ruby amber with a creamy, frothy off white head. Aromas of fruit, apples, pears, malty, a little boozy, dried leaves. Flavor is sweet, fruity, pears, caramel, whole grain bread, a little banana, some rum, some raisin, a touch medicinal. Full bodied, lightly sticky finish.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a one finger off-white head. The aroma is of caramel malt with some light fruitiness. The flavor is sweet caramel malt. There’s a hint of dark fruit. It’s medium bodied and solid enough, but didn’t overly impress me. It’s good, but it’s no Celebrator.
