330ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, courtesy of Black Haddock. Pours clear brown with reddish hue. Rather muddled, slightly watery doppelbock for the ABV. Murky maltiness. Won’t lose any sleep if I never see this again.

33cl bottle picked up in Hamburg and brought back to the UK purely to share with the Shrewsbury Bottle Exchange Group (or whatever we call ourselves). split between five of us on 12th Jan 2015. This Australian, Belgian, German Doppelbock was really worth the effort of finding and bringing home. Poured a clean brown, with a beige head that tried to stay. Malty, sweet and alcoholic, just like a Doppelbock should be. Nothing outstanding or different apart from its name and provenance, just a good beer behind a weird label and name.

At a tasting, thanks YK23, small bubbley beige head, murky dark brown colour, aroma of rubber, fruit gum and some dark fruits, artificial fruity flavour with some bready maltiness and brown sugar, some metalic sourness lingering and very little bitterness. Repulsive.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks YK23. 6.5%. Dark brown to black with a beige to light brown head. Aroma of candies, a bit of cookies, a bit of graininess, light chocolate hints and caramel. Sweetish weak flavor with malt, candies, a bit of saccharine, a bit of fruity hints, nutty hints and a slightly drier finish. Very watery flat mouthfeel. Poor.

Pours amber ruby with a brownish head. Aroma is filled with pine and malt. Taste was fruity and spicy and possibly herbal, lightly hoppy with caramel and roasted malt + grains. Strange beer, I found it to be a mix of everything.
