Icelandic Doppelbock
(has 3 batches)

Bottle at home. Pours dark amber, nose is chocolate, toffee, fruity, taste is similar.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 04.11.14, from Drink Shop quite long time ago, 20141205) The beer poured brown and clear. Its head was medium sized, lightly brown and it lasted long. Aroma had malts and molasses. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, molasses, chocolate, grass and sweetness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A good but a little bit watery malty brew.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle. Thanks Zach! Aroma is nice and malty with moderate toasted bread and nuts with light caramel and toffee. Slight roast and chocolate notes. Light dark fruit notes with moderate raisins. Pours a nice, clear brown color with amber and ruby hues. Fairly large, moderately thick, dark tan head with great retention. Medium lacing with faint legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with quite a bit of toasted bread, caramel and toffee. Lots of raisins with hints of dark fruit, chocolate and roast. Some light nuttiness with medium light bitterness. Hints of alcohol and finishes sweet. Mouthfeel is medium to medium light bodied with moderate carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer with a nice malt quality. Quite a bit of melanoidins with some nice, light yeast character. Not a bad doppelbock.

Get a berry taste. A tad sweet. Decent, though disappointing.

330 ml bottle. Rich dark amber color with a rocky beige head. Light toasted malt nose. Crisp toasted malt flavor with notes of caramel and cocoa. Peppery hops in mid taste. Smooth and flavorful with complex sweet malt and spicy hops. A bit understated as doppelbocks go. Quite tasty though.

Bottle at 73, Reykjavik
Dark amber color, small creamy head. Too light aroma. Has some caramel, but lacking the richness of a real Doppelbock; correct bitterness; clean.
The alcohol also confirms the flavor: this is just a Dunkler Bock.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s post GBBF minidig, 16/08/14. Chestnut brown with moderate off white edgework. Nose is malt forward, toffee, brown bread, spice, dark fruit rinds. Taste comprises fruitloaf, deep bready malt, spice, toffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok D-Bock.

Sampled @ ChrisO after GBBF day 2. Clear dark red color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, a hint of caramel, quite bitter, a bit toasted, lightly bready. Hard to describe. Ok beer.

33 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small tan head. Aroma is toasted malty and breadish. Bitter and roasted. Bitter. Toasted and slight herbal. Roasted and dry malty finish.
