Description
In 1995 Harry van de Wiel decided to establish the Stadsbrouwerij Rotterdam. The brewery is decorated in the style of the old town hall of Delfshaven, the wood-copper kettles in which brewing takes place are a good example of this. In the meantime Harry's son has taken over the stirring stick and continues his father's passion.

330ml bottle. Cloudy to murky, orange, dark golden to brown-ish amber colour with absurdely huge, firm, frothy, very slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Fruity aroma with widely disguised, sweet-ish, wheaty malty background, notes of raspberry, raspberry pulp, rather weak fruit acidic and earthy raspberry aspects. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty malty, fruity and slightly yeasty spicy, notes of raspberry, raspberry pulp, a tart-ish touch of fruit acid, minimally earthy-leafy aspects of raspberry shrubs, some orange and mandarine.
Creamy and simultaneously acid thinned, as a result watery texture, smooth, minimally astringent palate, medium, medium, very dense, foamy and mildly prickly carbonation.
Un-appealing appearance, slightly overcarbonated, on the other hand very enjoyable raspberry flavours; a bit weird overall - quite acceptable overall due to the raspberry.

330ml bottle. Opalescent, orange golden colour with huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly floral, yeasty spicy and minimally strawy, wheaty malty as well as minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, hints of fresh hay, mustard seed, chamomile, a touch of white pepper. Taste is minimally bready, pale and wheaty malty with very low residual sweetness, yeasty spicy and minimally floral, hints of mustard seed, white pepper, chamomile, a touch of fresh hay, grey bread, caraway.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium, foamy, prickly to lively carbonation partly runs out of intensity after a while.
Quite spicy, a tad overcarbonated - not so bad.

Very nice, a well-executed doppelbock. Bitter, fruity, malty and roasty. I'd take this again.
