Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured an almost black color with a large foamy tan head that left incredible lacing. The aroma was malty, toffee, toasted caramel, fig and raisin. The flavor was very malty with caramel, toastiness, toffee, tobacco, licorice, fig, raisin and undertones that were astringent and medicinal. Very long finish of toffee, fig and the medicinal presence. A bit of warming booziness shows through. Moderately full bodied. Well done.

On tap at the Bocktown, a very nice beer tasting place. Slight metallic aroma. Sterile to the nose. Nice good looking dark beer. Really nice lacing. slight fizz but just barely. Taste is simple doppel thank you. Not really over the top, just a civilized doppel that a lager lover can appreciate. Strong but not in yer face, fer sure Penn. Good job on the style. Not bad for a dark strong lager my friend.
