On draught at 69 Taps in Akron. Pours a dark brown color with reddish highlights. Medium beige head that lasted pretty well. Thin and sticky lacing. Pleasant aroma of malt and nuts. Medium-bodied and sweet with lots of malt flavor. Some caramel and nuts come through as it warms, and the 8.7%+ alcohol is well-masked. The finish is malty and is a little thin compared to the great Doppelbocks out there, and that is really the only thing keeping this beer from being a standout. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.
