22oz bomber poured crystal clear gold with thin bright white head. It has a sweet malt aroma with pale grainy malts, biscuit malts and a hint of floral hops. The flavor starts with sweet and pale to Munich grainy tasting malts. A soft floral note appears briefly. As the finish draws closer I sense slight fruity notes of plums, dates and a hint of raisins.

Sampled on draft the brewpub this beer poured a dark caramel-brown color with a medium sized fluffy off white head that left great lacing. The aroma was sweet, yeasty and had notes of sugar, bubblegum and golden fruits. the flavor was yeasty with notes of bubblegum, table sugar, golden fruits and a bit of phenol. Medium length finish. The mouthfeel was thick and full. Hid the alcohol rather well. Well done.

Thanks to dstchef. On tap at the Bocktwon in the Robinson Shopping Plaza. Pour is ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. Has a thin whitish head. Smells kinda beery with fruitiness mixed in. Believe it or not, the taste is weird; flowery and perfumy, if that is possible. Odd, but that is what I taste, it must be an olfactory thing going on here. Medium low carbonation. Taste is mildly bitter but not malty or hoppy extremes. Just enough personality to let you know it is a beer with taste. Interesting development of flavors. Begins with that medium bitter impact then fades to a friendly floral cornucopia. Finish is mild bitterness that lasts for only a short while. When I was sampling this at the Bocktown, I was told it was a barley wine. Not as good as most dopplebocks Iβve had such as Weltenburger Kloster Asam Bock but much better than sammy adams doublebock.
