(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, dark, orangey brown with a small, rough, beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and some alcohol - a fairly authentic "German" aroma.. Solid body with a fine base of roasted malt, caramel and some nuts - a lightly burned accents also. The finish is dry with both some bitterness and some alcohol. In spite of the confusion about the contradictionary name "Doppelbock Ale", this clearly is a Doppelbock - even a good one. 200208

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma contains loads of caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by some caramel malt with some subtle notes of toffee but none of the banana or cloves notes usually contained in the style and that I usually appreciate. Medium creamy body with some good carbonation.

[i] [b] Bottle from supermarket Waitrose Witney I think, had this 04-02-08 [/i] [/b] Poured golden and clear with white head. Tasted too sweet, lacking in any real challenging bitterness or bite and I really couldn’t detect much in the way of hops. Despite all this criticism I actually found it quite inoffensive and ok, I wouldn’t rush out to buy one again but it was better than I expected.

(On tap) Clear, golden with a small, white head. Fresh, lightly spicy aroma of lemon - or perhaps rather lemongrass? Medium body with sweet lemon accents - or again perhaps rather lemongrass. A whiff of ginger also. Somewhat sulphurous in the finish. Mostly reminds me of a German Radler - just with more alcohol. 250108
