Bottle. Fairly transparent for its color. A tawny brown color with about a one finger tanish head. Aromas are sweet... caramel malts and apple juice. I’m also picking up just a touch of spiciness underneath the sweet aromas. Flavor is very sweet, but I don’t know that I would classify it as cloying. A little bit of alcoholic bite is there and from time to time I pick up a slightly astringent note in the aftertaste.

Smell is very sweet, like hardtack candy soaked in alcohol. Perhaps a little alarming! .Nice darkish color, and barely any head. Taste is a little coarse, like a bock usually is. The alky impact is readily apparent. Nice taste tho, with its slightly syrupy feel. Medium low carbonation, could use a tad more. It has a feel like alky was added after brewing. Perhaps even a malt liqour attribute after a few sips. A little more than my girlie taste buds can appreciate. Cannot measure up to Atwater Voodoo Vator Doppelbock or troegenator. Better than Victory St. Victorious Doppelbock and Sam Adams Dopelbock. On par with other typical doubles; Penn Penndemonium and Erie Fallenbock. Just a little too overwhelming for me.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with only a trace of a white head that faded almost instantly. The aroma is light malts with a light crisp floral hop presence. The flavor is dry and crisp with trace malts and moderate floral hops. The finish is dry and hoppy.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a light caramel color with a small white head that fades quickly. The aroma is faint sour malts. The flavor is moderately malty and smooth with light floral hops and a dry nutty finish. Pleasant if unspectacular.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy offwhite head with clear gold color. Aroma is malt with a non-favorable edge and hops. Taste follows right in line. What is that additional characteristic? rerate-had this again, thanks to Rosemarie-no drawbacks this time. Must have been a bad batch previously. Great balanced malt/hop character.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head. Color is clear yellow. Aroma is grassy, malt. Taste is malt, smooth, good carbonation. This was better cooled down, maybe 40’ vs cold at 35’.
