Sample at Ericka’s and Nihar’s Holiday Gathering on 12/18/2015. The beer is a dark mahogany color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, dark fruit and caramel. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit, mild hops and a bit of tobacco. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bomber thanks to Dan. Pours a near black color with a medium tan head. A big malty nose with dark fruit and light caramel and tobacco. The flavor is toffee, warmth, plum, caramel, brown sugar, sweeter sugars, light tobacco and raisin. Very good.

Dark mahogany pour under a tan head that coats the glass as it dissipates. It has a light aroma of sweet malt. there is more to the flavor than the aroma let on.Sweet malt, nice nutty sweetness, good full body too. Worth trying if you like Doppelbocks.

Batch 002 Received from Secret Santa this year and last, thanks for the opportunity KarrHeel03 and DavoleBomb. Pours a deep brown with great garnet highlights and a smallish creamy off white head that recedes much to quickly. Smells of malt, yeah I know right a bock that’s malty go figure. Sweet toffee and caramelized sugars mixed with some sweet plums, and hints of cocoa. Taste is sweet with dark fruits, melanoidin, cocoa, and toffee. The taste is wonderful in its malty sweetness without being cloying. No hop presence detected. Creamy smooth mouthfeel, light to medium level of carbonation, sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. I enjoyed the hell out of this while watching the Steelers get it handed to them in the Superbowl. Very nice bock.

Bottle first batch thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours out a dark amber topped with a nice sand head. Aroma was of sweet malts, light chocolate, and a little nuttiness. Taste was more of the rich malts, brown sugar sweetness and some pit fruit.
