Dull beige and hazy. Medium head. Muddle citrusy hop nose, background yeastiness. Medium body, a splash of alcohol in the finish. Moderate bitterness. Muddled malt, the hops are slightly citrusy but not especially bright.

It's black, with a light head. I don't think there's any haze - alles klar? Roasty, toasty, and there's definitely some rum sweetness up front on the nose. Lots of bitterness as well. I'm liking the balance here. It ends up as a solid impy, with an accent.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma seems a bit old, with stone fruits, earthy dank hops, and bready notes. Flavour is loaded with overripe stone fruits, faded earthy dank hops, and just enough sweet malt backing. Fruity and dank, with decent balance. Doesn't seem particularly fresh. Good.

Can (May 2022). This one pours bright. Still amber, but the bright is the important part. Lots of malt up front on the nose. The oak is gentle in this edition, too. Mostly they help round out the malty base. Alcohol is mellow for a beer this size. It's sticky, but nothing crazy. It lacks the richness that the best doppelbocks of southern Bavaria have, but I mean let's get real, I don't expect anybody to make doppelbock like Ayginer, Ettaler, Andechs, etc. Can (Dec 2020). Murky amber. Not the best-looking beer, especially for a style where technical precision is the norm (in Bavaria, anyway). Thin head. Malty aroma, toffeeish, with just a hint of the oak. On the palate the oak is again gentle. The base doppelbock is big, sticky toffee notes. I like the bigness and the richness, but it's not the most refined of doppelbocks. Still, great to see this type of beer being brewed. 7 3 7 3 14 = 3.4

Tasting at Phill's, can
Amber colour, clean. The esters are strong in the nose. Quite malty, it's sweet, there's fudge and caramel, strong alcohol, and strong esters, maybe some bubblegum; not easy to brew at this gravity, I guess they did a pretty good job.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts, bready malt, some herbal notes, and a touch of caramel. Flavour is quite nutty, with toasted caramel, bready malt, toasted nuts. Somewhat herbal and nutty, with a bready caramel finish. Quite boozy, with a sweet caramel finish. Very good.
