Bottle. Almost clear golden color with a medium-large white head. Aroma of rather grassy hops and a bit of bready malt. Sweetish bready flavor and a bitter hoppy finish with some hay and grassy notes. Light to medium-bodied. Quite enjoyable.

[swing top bottle] Clear, pale golden colour with a big blonde foamy head. Slightly sweet strawy malty nose with grassy hops and notes of metal. Light-bitter flavour, papery pale malt-character with herbal and slightly grassy hops, the latter getting stronger towards the moderately dry and slightly bitter finish with notes of cardboard in the aftertaste. Tastes quite industrialized [19.I.09].

500mL swing top with a different label though. Poured into a St. Paul snifter glass. Color is a clear dark brown. Aroma is dark , earthy, bark with very clean malts behind it. Taste is similarly earthy with a bit of an herbal, plant-like (maybe its hops) finish. This is a nice, easy drinking beer, very underrated doppelbock.

50 cl bottle from BevMo, Valencia. nose is some floral hopiness, golden raisins, caramel, cinnamon, and some vanilla notes. Clear dark rusty brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is not as sweet as I would have guessed from the nose, but only a slight sweetness combines with some slight hoppy bitterness, mixing with some caramel, molasses, and toffee. Finish is a lingering light bitter note. Very decent doppelbock.

Swingtop from BevMo. Deep ruby color with a few bubbles - no head. Aroma of darker caramel and dark fruits. Medium body with mild, almost creamy, carbonation. Flavor is light roasted caramel - but dark. The dark fruit is not heavy, kind of like a little prune or raisin. Finish is somewhat sweet, but there is a certain astringency. Actually quite fruity after awhile.
