Can from Tavour. Pours dark ruddy mahogany with a huge tan head - a Guinness pour! Aroma of sweetish roasty (not toasty) malt with hints of grass/spice. Med body at least. It's not dry - rich roasty malt. There are Saaz notes, but insufficient to raise a substantial level of bitterness. Very tasty.

Brown with a fleeting, foamy head. Big oak aroma, toffee, black tea. Taste is mildly sweet with the sweetness picking up at the finish. Full of caramel with bready, biscuity notes. Thick body, mild to moderate carbonation. Warming. Not among the best of the style but a solid effort.

Good, but not as layered as a traditional doppelbock. Starts with sweet toffee, black cherry, pumpernickel, and cocoa, but loses depth on the back end, settling into an oaked bitterness offset by dough and booze. Fruity tang in the fade seems somewhat out of place. Very drinkable--the easygoing texture and medium body make it easy to put back a can. Still, seems like a lush doppelbock richness is missing.
