12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Appleton, 2/20/20. Dark brown, thin fizzy tan head, poor retention. Aroma of toffee, raisin, tart cherry. Taste is raisin, anise, toffee, tart cherry. Medium bodied, low carb. Mildly infected.

Bottle from Tavour as Capital Dark Doppelbock. Pours slightly ruddy dark amber with a transient beige head. Aroma of medium dark fruits and dark caramel. Med body or so. Flavor is smoothly darkish malt with medium dark fruit. The malt’s the thing, and it’s not all that sweet. Pleasing stuff.

1,200th rating! Pours a dark brown from a bottle, big roasty caramel, a little molasses, similar flavor, horribly sweet and syrupy, one-dimensional. Okay beer.

Bottle from notes. Brown with a khaki head. Aroma of roasted nuts and caramel malt. Pretty decent, but not too special.

Clearish light brown coloured body with a darker brown glow and a thinnish, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee, a bit of light nuts and not much else - potent. Medium to full-bodied; Strong roasty flavour with a good sweet caramel flavour and a pungent toffee note and a lot of roast on the back end. Aftertaste shows a good complexity with a nice malty, yet caramel flavour that goes a long while and shows very nicely. Overall, a very good beer for the style with plenty of sugars and a good malt backbone with a nice complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Discount Liqour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 05-September-2012 for US$3.49 sampled at home in Washington on 30-September-2012.

Bottled (thanks heemer77).. Dark amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel, alcohol, yeasy and a lot of sweet malts. Flavour is toffee, malts, licorace some cookies and a bit of alcohol. A very nice thing!

Hazy copper-nut brown color, small white head. Caramel and malts in the nose. Bready malty, slightly sweet flavor with hints of licorice and alcohol. Quite good adaption of German (doppel)bocks.

Good. It is dark; cloudy brown. The aroma is malt and carmel. Not a very intense flavor, a little sweet with sugar, malt, butter, and carmel. Medium body. Pleasant.

2005 bottle from StewardofGondor, shared on 12/22/2005 with Rastacouere. Pours your typical Capital pour, that is, lightly hazy, with a bubbly head that is quick to run for cover of the edges, and only leaves marginal, spotty lacing. Head is beige while the body is a deep auburn tinged mahogany brown, with coal brown hues. Aroma of sweet raisins, cream, milk chocolate and light touches of dry bock yeast. Tinges of tart fruits combine on the end to give a well-balanced, and quite authentic feel to it. Raisins, caramel, light breadiness and vinous dark fruits all in abundance. Flavor is quite sweet, with a soft milk chocolate sweetness that gives way to a light bit of earthiness and dry yeast. Berry skins, roasted, but minimally bitter barley notes and succulent, warm, dripping caramel. Flowery, lightly herbal hops are just faintly noticeable. Dosent have that hard crystal malt dryness and intense breadiness. While it seems that overly bready, grainy, sourish munich malts and such seem to be the majority take on this style, I’ve got to say that this creamier, more milk chocolatey take increases the drinkability and sensuousness on the palate, while the light raisins and boisterous plum/prunes add a needed dryness, with a touch of light tartness. As with other Capital beers the carbonation is very low, the bubbles loose and the mouthfeel a touch wet. It would certainly benefit from tighter carbonation, but yet, it’s sort of a house character for Capital, and who really cares about carbonation when the flavors are so true and rich. The liquid bread goes down effortlessly, with no trace of any alcohol.
