Draft - Lots of raisin and some dark fruit. Dirty brown with a light beige head. Raisin and plum with nice syrupy sweetness. Nothing special, but solid.

2020-01-04, draught at the brewery, 7-5-8-4-15=39
Clean amber colour. Mild aroma of bready and toasty malts. Mildly sweet, smooth, the smoke is evident, honey bread character, decent malt backbone, not as rich as one would expect from a Doppelbock though.
Pleasant hybrid.
2015-10-21, tasting at Josh's, growler, 7-4-7-3-15=36
Hazy amber color, small head. Delicate but very nice smoke aroma. The light honey flavor is a good complement for the mellow malts, with a light biscuity touch; mild smoke presence, and low bitterness.
Very nice.

Growler, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out smoked ashy notes, not much else. Flavour brings out a good mix of honey and smoke. Nothing offensive or anything - actually decent. Okay.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out the German hops in full form, with some citrus and stone fruitiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with fruity hops and biscuity malt. Not overly exciting, but it's clean and decently brewed. Okay.

Bottle from the brewery. Hazy light amber. Aroma has some barrelly notes, it has picked up some tartness, touch of wheaty, banana accent, too. Light tartness, hint of smoke and banana and a bit of barrely dryness. Brett notes...so if Inperial Grodziskie makes any sense to you, that’s how I would describe it.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy golden color. The malt gives a delicate biscuity aroma but the flavor is not interesting; the hop is lightly grassy in the nose, very lightly fruity flavor, but unassertive and dull; strong bitterness, a bit disturbing in the final. It takes time to develop interesting aromas of candied fruits.
I’m not impressed. But it’s not bad.

Draught at the brewery, test tap
Cloudy dark amber color. Dark malts, not roasty, but caramelly and chocolatey, not blending very well with the mild sourness. Earthy feeling. Light fruity aroma. (6).
It’s not a train wreck, it’s just not a good idea. If they increase the acidity they can sell it under the Bruery label (would still be not good). Messy.
The second impression is better.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy bright light amber color. Aroma and flavor carry nice notes of cereals and hay, quite German. Good body structure, nice bitterness level (feels more than 23 IBU), with some grassy note.
Somehow not very refined, but it has good qualities and it’s enjoyable; with some tweaks it may be great.
Powerful brew.
