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.

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.
