Not as dark as the label says, just orange brown colored. Malty, sugary aroma with some unmarked fruit. Very sweet and sugary, totally hiding the alcohol. Just a thick sugary fluid without much character. Sticky, pineapple. Bottle from MoritzF, with my thanks.

Bottle shared by Skyview. I am disappointed to see this brewery is out of business, because thi was a great beer. The aroma starts with red meat and caramel. Dark brown appearance and low carbonation. Caramel in the flavor again. Thick and rich palate, with a lightly sweet finish. One of the better doppelbocks I have ever had.

500ml bottle shared with Richard. Deep, dark orange body colour. Small, off-white head. Aromatic with sweet hoppy fruits and slightly roasted malts. Dried, dark fruits in flavour, including raisin and prunes, overlaid by dark malts. Strong and mouth filling palate. Relatively integrated alcohol (hotel room, Berlin 21.11.2009).

Bottle: Poured a light amber color bock with a rather large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sugar and light cardboard notes which may indicates some oxidation. Taste is not what I would have expected for the style with medium malt presence with a light toffee sugary finish. Ester are not really discernible with good carbonation and minimal alcohol appearance. Not really good for the style.

Hazy amber with a medium beige head. The aroma was sweet with roasted malt, caramel, plums and overripe fruits. Flavour had roasted malt, plums, caramel and hoopy notes. Finished bitter. Not bad.

50 cL bottle. Pours almost fully clear golden and deep orange with hazzlenut brown. Slowly diminishing and tan head. Sweet, dense fruity aroma - solid breadish too. Flavour is sweet, of overripe fruit and breadish towards a mild roasted note. Light spice and bitterness into a dry breadish finish. Solid and flavourful, wellhidden alcohol.

The bottle looks good, a little bit complex. In the glass a little bit light for a Doppelbock. Fine sweet and strong aroma. Flavor also very strong, malty, a little bit sweet. For a doppelbock stupendously drinkable. Very good beer.

Mehrere Malztöne erfreuen im Antrunk, leider ist hier auch ein alkoholischer Teil präsent. Nun gut, bei 8,9% verständlich, trotzdem. Im Mittelteil deutlich alkoholischer, das Malz mischt sich währenddessen mit einer getreidigen Note. Der Alkohol legt im Abgang nochmals zu, daher gerät die Würzigkeit in der Untergrund. Süffiger Doppelbock, trotz des Alkohols. Danke an Jevers Zeuge.

Unclear orange with a white slowly fading head. Aroma is malty fruity/grainy. Taste is malty - caramel, bread & nuts. Sweetness - a bit "sugary". Medium body. Light warmth from alcohol - but very well hidden. Easy hops in the end! Pleasant!
