12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 4/15/2013. Pours lightly hazy ruby red color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of pear, apple, golden raisin, caramel, toast, molasses, brown bread, floral, light chocolate, toasted earthiness, and yeast ester fruitiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt and fruity ester notes. Taste of apple, pear, raisin, caramel, toast, chocolate, molasses, brown bread, floral, toasted earthiness, light nuttiness, and yeast ester fruitiness. Slightly tart fruitiness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, caramel, toast, molasses, chocolate, brown bread, floral, light nuttiness, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity of dark malt and fruity esters; with a solid malt/fruity flavor balance; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and lightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice doppelbock. A little too fruity, but has good malt complexity; and is very smooth to sip on. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle on a train into NYC, post-wedding. Pours cloudy brown with a fine, beige cream head. Sugary malt nose, some caramel, brown sugar, dried fruits. Medium sweet flavor, some dry bread, dried cranberries, lightly tangy caramel. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Rounded dark sugar finish, more caramel, light alcohol, some dust and dirt, a bit of demerara sugar. Overall it’s just OK.

Hazy red brown beer. Soft but rich - full of tangy malt with just a little hop in the finish. Very tasty and easy to drink.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is prunes fruity, malty and slight yeasty. Vague metallic flavoured. Sweet prunes, plum and raisins - yet not overly sweet. Light yeasty and phenolic. Ends medium dry and persisting fruity. Surprisingly far from classic German Doppelbocks - but nice.

This bock poured a deep amber colour with a dish soap, bubbley head. To the nose there are scents of ripe raisins and dates. Heavy malt scent, almost a pumpkin scent too. First taste was very, very malty with other flavours such as bread, caramel and dough. Finish is malt all the way.
