330ml bottle. Hazy, redd-ish, dark amber colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, dark sulphureous head. Spicy aroma, widely disguised, malty background, notes of yellow curry, yellow curry powder, curry ketchup, kurkuma, a touch of garlic. Taste is spicy and sweet-ish malty, mildly bitter hoppy, notes of curry ketchup, yellow curry, a sweet-ish, fruity touch of pineapple; accumulating hints of smoked chili.
Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Rather crazy stuff, intense spiciness, the flattering fruity touch makes it passably drinkable; just as much as the sauce is only "attachment" to your currywurst you feel that this brew shouldn't be consumed pure as the malty body cannot replace the sausage - nevertheless not bad and fairly felicitous. Nice idea and one-off experience, but nothing I'll revisit.

Tried both warm and cold. Brown with a frothy, beige head. Aroma in the direction of Glühwein, strong on the cloves, with pumpernickel bread alongside. Cold version goes down bitter and spicy but also tart. Warm, the tartness is less noticeable and it’s increasingly citric. Preferred it cold. Finishes flat bitter with doses of clove and anise. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Too heavy handed and gimmicky for my taste.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before February 2026. Clear, dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of caramel, molasses, raisins, red fruits and some nuts. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite fruity taste of caramel, molasses, raisins, red fruits, toasted nuts and traces of licorice, followed by a medium long, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Doppelbock.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 01.08.2025) im 2025-02 getrunken. Diese Senatsbock-Interpretation wurde mit Traubensaft, Orangenschalen und Nelken in einem Rotweinfass nachgereift. Es sicher spannende Idee die aber deutlich zur 2024er "After-Eight" Version verliert. Die Aromen der Komponeten sind leider nicht stimmig und bleiben nebeneinander als das sie ein größeres Ganzes im Glas bilden. So leider etwas enttäiuschend.
