Really excited to have received this in a trade. Enjoyed at fridge temperature in a snifter. Thanks a lot to my awesome trading partner. This beer was sealed with wax that took about 20 minutes to take off. I doubt that the brewer intended this Doppelbock to be cellared so what’s the point in waxing it?
A - Raisin brown but against the light, burnt dark brown. No head but a fine line of carbonation with some alright lacing.
S - Vanilla, cherries, oak and brown sugar dominate the nose.
T - Very sweet up front, hint of booziness but no ABV to back up that booziness that comes from the bourbon. Vanilla, maple syrup, candy corns and a healthy wheat backbone.
M - Medium body, light carbonation.
O - Identity crisis in a bottle. Who puts a Doppelbock in Bourbon? These guys I guess. all of the nice booziness you’d expect with nothing much to follow it up with.

I really like the packaging on these hinter pounder bottles. Fresh aroma and perhaps a hint of tartness may form on the olfactory. Slight haze on a brown tinted yallah beer. Wew, big bold dull hop taste impressions. mouth coating, could be an ipa in another life. Numbs the sides of your tongue. Yez, back there hiding someplace is a barely noticable shade of wildness behind the other complex arrangements. Very nice display of rolling sediment in the glass courtesy of the bottom of the bottle. They float in there like the beer was a gel er sumthin. Medicinal bitter finish for an ending. Wew, in your face personality going on here.

I love these rather large bottles of hinterland. Big pounder bottle, quite unique in packaging. I’ll give it any extra 0.1 out of 5 for the bottle glass. Nice interesting aroma which is clean yet hint of tartness in the olfactory. Some bitter bite but it fades during the session. Decent kick without an in your face alky rudeness. Goes down with a litlle bit of a hinderance, oops, I mean hinterness, heheh. Yes, perhaps more hops than I care for ina fest. Somewhat medium dull bitter finish. Perhaps a little clying at times, maybe an old bottle, a few months.

Bottle. Light toffee malt aroma. Hazy amber color with large tan head. Slightly sweet toffee malt and lightly bitter hay flavor. Body pretty light. Not bad - straight forward.

Pale copper with a firm tan head. Aroma has caramel malts, toasted malt, a bit earthy, and a light spice. Medium-full bodied with a creamy feel. Flavor is full of sweet and toasted malts, a bit of biscuit, earth, a touch of chocolate, and a bit of zesty spice. A really nice lager.

From a pounder bottle. Nice big brown clear pour with a tad of orange red. Smell is a bit cloying but yes, some hops poke thru to the olfactory. Taste is about the same but there is this mild tartness in there that gives it a bit of a farmy effect,not much tho. Some very mild barely detectable carbonation. Ropey and leathery at times, could be a little more well behaved. Will not appeal to a lager lover. Slight sweet medicinal finish. Sometimes I thought I was sipping an ipa. There, you have it.

Refrigerated 16 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours translucent orange with medium white head that dies some. Good big bubble lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and wheaty aroma. Taste is cherry and estery wheat. Pretty good.

Bottle. Cloudy gold/orange body. Short, fizzy, white head. Muted aroma of clove, pepper, spice. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter with the bitterness lasting into the finish. Medium body, velvety texture, soft carbonation. Spice (all-spice, clove, pepper) tastes forced, infused. Flabby malts are thick. Lacks separation of flavors. Could be dryer, more carbonated. Overall, muddled.
