Potus non frangit ieiunium. – “Drinking is not breaking the fast”. Stout or strong beer owes its origin to this old catholic rule for Lent. In former times monks and lords of the castle brewed a powerful bock beer to strengthen themselves for the 40 days of fasting leading up to Easter solemnities. In Bavaria, an extra-strength bock beer is immediately recognizable by the suffix ending in “ator”.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear deep ruby pour with two finger creamy beige head. Average head retention. Poor lacing. Nose is malty and grainy with hints of citrus, hops and caramel. Medium body with average carbonation. Slick and oily palate, somewhat dry mouthfeel, a bit peppery on the tongue. Malty sweet taste with a touch of alcohol burn. Aroma of caramel malts, liquor, toffee. Herbal and peppery. Slight cardboard. Licorice. Pretty strong alcohol presence despite the not so high ABV. Long finish, dry with lasting alcohol burn and slight metallic acidity. Overall, quite decent.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Red/brown coloured, medium sized beige head, caramel and whiff of chocolate in the nose. Roasted malt, caramel, light chocolate and some mild notes of dried fruits with touch of alcohol and nuts in the finish. Quite good doppelbock.

Flaska drucken på Brogatan till en god middag. En klassisk, rustik, kraftfull dubbelbock som inte blir för söt. Stora brödiga smaker med lätt beska som balanerar bra. Riktigt gott.

Many thanks for this beer to kevnic2008. Piwo o sporej piance, trwalej i wystajacej znacznie ponad kufel. Kolor rubinowo bursztynowy. Smak to karmel, sliwki w czekoladzie oraz rodzynki a takze na zakonczenie kakbny orzechy wloskie. Smaczne tresciwe, alkohol niewyczuwalny. Swietnie pasowalo do wedzonej ryby.

0,5 l bottle from P&M Getränke, best before 14/9/2015. Crystal clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, very slowly diminishing, tan head. Malty aroma of raisins, prunes, candy sugar and molasses. Rather sweet taste of raisins, prunes, candy sugar and molasses. Medium long, quite hoppy and bitter finish. Medium to full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid doppelbock with a relatively bitter note in the end (a result of the use of hop extracts?). Not outstanding though, just a nice beer.

Dunkles kastanienbraunes Bier mit einer ordentlichen beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch röstmalzig, sehr getreidig, leicht alkoholisch. Geschmack röstmalzig, sehr getreidig, kaum hopfig, stark typischer Bock!

500ml bottle. Clear, ruby red glowing, dark brown colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish dark malty aroma has notes of toffee, nuts, caramel, marzipan, hints of cherry and sherry. Taste is moderately sweet dark malty, notes of toffee, caramel, nuts, marzipan, milk chocolate, hints of cherry, sherry, Marsala, dry, minimally herbal hoppy overtones; smooth, silky, soft palate, well matching, gentle carbonation. Rich and complex, superbly balanced. Wow! Nice to see what a "traditional" can offer if adequately "crafted".

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 24.04.2010. Thanks Timo A!
Aroma is rather malty with some raisins and chocolate. Flavour is also quite malty with raisins, chocolate and roasted notes. A solid doppelbock.
