Bottle - Malty nose with a hint of spice and a little citrus. Clear rich amber colour with a wonderful frothy head that lingers and expands. Thick malt flavour with vanilla and spice notes along with some bitterness that seems a bit out of place. A bit rich for a session beer, but makes a great winter ale.

Bottle from Darby’s, Vancouver
Bright amber color, with short lived head. Some malt caramel and cereals aroma. Good malt flavor, caramel, clean, with some cereals and strong bitterness; some alcohol warmth; also the body strength and mouthfeel are correct; there is some residual sweetness. It’s at least a good Doppelbock, although not eis-ed; I had this bottle warmer than the Russell Eisbock draught, and therefore it was better.
