Dark copper, clear, tan head. Aroma of dark bread crusts, a little toffee, some dark fruit. Flavor is similar with lots of rich, toasty Munich malt, dark fruit, nuts, bready notes, warming alcohol. Easy drinking for a doppelbock. Well made.

Nice and smooth , mildly bitter and smoky. Dark brown to black with small but substantial beige head. Aroma is roast grains, semi sweet chocolate, peat and dried fruit. Taste is mildly sweet with a touch of bitterness. Almost as good as Salvator.....

A Doppelbock worth of drinking. Thin head to be noted. Aroma of roast and spice. Strong still not too alcoholic. Medium bitter taste. In comparison to Paulaner Salvator rather mediocre.
