Reviewed from notes. Consumed the first time of 03/22/2019 and the second time was 03/28/2019.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a quickly dieing head that barely left any lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, sweet meat, dark chcolate, molasses, woody spice and a little bit of earthiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet earthy to subtle toasty and meaty toned quality; finishes toasty sweet and semi-earthy with some dryness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also subtsantial dryness
Overall: the first time I had this beer I thought it was a barleywine but the second time I had it was when I realized this is a Doppelsticke altbier and this is nice enough to warrant more pours.

Super dark brown coloured body without much of a haze or opacity to it, with a very thin off-white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, pure molasses, toasted malt, hazlenuts, almonds, soft earth and a good deal of lactose and creamier notes - but very strong throughout in the nose. Medium-bodied; Assertive toasted malt notes dominate with a lot of caramelised sugars and nuttiness along with some softer lactose and creamy flavours that show some subdued brewed coffee, a dash of chocolate and a suprising amount of anise and spices, especially noticeable at the end with nothing to distract from. Aftertaste shows the caramelised sugars and nuttiness almost exclusively with a robust malt body and character, but the sweetness persits with toffee, molasses and treacle and finishing up with an almond and very noticeable and distinct hazlenut bite that has a little nutella going on as well. Overall, a nice and rich malt-forward beer with a lot of unfinished sugars and somehow even more coffee, nut, chocolate, earthy and especially caramelised sugar flavours that reach out at the end and give this a nice complexity, all on top of a deep profile. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-December-2019 for US$2,39 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-August-2020.

12 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Barely translucent dark brown color. Frothy tan head. Faint toasted malt nose. Roasted malt flavor is sweet and spicy. Notes of chocolate and burnt sugar. Light resiny hops in finish.
