Enjoyed this at kp’s Cellar Party. Clear brown colored body that makes a fleeting white head. Good solid malty aroma. Sweet malt prevails overall with just a touch of hop bitterness. Good body and one I’d drink again if I could.

An unclear orange-brown beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic with strong notes of caramel, making it a really powerful aroma, the alcohol also renders it a hint of metal. The flavor is very complex and, as the aroma, very powerful, with strong notes of caramel and alcohol, but also with lesser notes of metal, over ripe fruit, and freash peaches. The alcohol pricklies the tongue and dries out the mouth.

-750ml bottle-pours a big tan head with dark copper color. Aroma is sweet, dark malt, dark fruit, smokey/toasty. Taste follows along with alcohol. Nicely done big beer, though not my style.

2005 bottle from my buddy Nick (Crosling). It’s interesting, looking at the descriptions of the beer’s color that some say clear copper, some say amber-caramel, others dark chestnut brown. I’d like to further add to the disagreement by calling it blonde (though with a strawberry tinge to it). As in a blonde doppelbock, which I think this is. The cap got jarred a bit in transit, so to prevent any further C02 loss, I opened it only 24 hours after receiving it. Needless to say, it was completely hazy from start to finish. The head is a light straw-beige, creamy and large at first, but eventually receding all the way to a ring and light cover, but never disappears altogether. Quite a bit of lacing as well. The aroma begins with a subtle flowers and herbs note, mixing in delicate light grains, bits of honey and dough, and growing spicier with fresh noble hops as it warms. Fresh yeast is all over the place, doughy and dry and almost a Belgian-like quality to it. Very clean though, is the yeast, and hardly any of the usual doppelbock suspects are present. No melanoidins, breadiness or deep roast. In fact, I just get toasted grains and light caramel as the strongest of notes. The flavor begins with a vanilla cream, cake icing and rich, toasty grains. Fruitiness comes from a light yellow raisin-like note, and there is plenty more dough, dry baguette notes and light white pepper. I was left in the dark as to the alcohol content of this one, not finding any mention of it in the flavor or aroma. Carbonation is exquisitely tight, with finely bubbled carbonation. Texture is pure unfiltered goodness, smooth and substantial, very creamy. I’d love to see Heavyweight make this a year-round and I too hope to get more of this unique and wonderfully crafted beer.

Interesting to see such a "run-of-the-mill" style deemed a OTOP beer - clear copper pour with huge white head - aroma of cinnamon, raisin, cherries soaked in rum - medium bodied, pretty foamy in the mouth - high sweetness, but tempered by a woody, smokey quality - I certainly taste the port qualities that sneagrams was talking about - brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate - some spiciness comes late, and helps the smoke keep the sweetness from becoming cloying - very well-balanced - ranks up there with the established doppels of europe - Heavyweight, please start making some of these OTOP beers into regulars!
