Bottle supposedly good until 2027. Improperly sealed bottle. The lid opens without the expected hiss and the contents prove to be flat. Any carbonation here is long gone. At least there’s no sign of infection. Dark brown with no head. Chocolate cake aroma. Taste is moderate sweet with a fruity, slightly bitter taste at the back. Seems like this would have been a good one. Medium bodied, flat and lifeless throughout. Big disappointment.

Bottle of Senatsbock drunk after a day of yardwork asked painting a pergola. Darkest brown, moderate tan head. Roasted nose, doesn't smell too sweet. The flavor has it though, a nutty caramel backbone that's not overly sweet for a Doppelbock, just right. Moderate complexity, i wouldn't have guessed roasted hazelnuts but it definitely as as layer of tastiness. Nice!

Dunkelbraune Farbe, kurzlebige Schaumkrone; in der Nase nussig, dunkelmalzig, würzig und ganz leicht rauchig; im Geschmack im Mund nussig, schokoladig, Kaffee, voller Körper, nicht zu schwer, relativ trocken, leichte Röstmalzbittere, der Hopfen spielt hier keine Rolle.
