"Faust Doppelbock dunkel", Flasche (50 cl) von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin-Wedding. - Kastanienbraun, klar. - Nase für einen Doppelbock recht leicht aber angenehm warm und rund mit Dunkelmalz, Pflaume und Rumtopf. - Antrunk warm dunkelmalzig mit Noten von Feigen, Früchtebrot und Rosinen, grundiert mit mild holziger Hopfenherbe und Petersilie. Zarte Portwein-Anklänge. Mild rezent, weich im Mund aber nicht schwer. Der Alkohol ist gut kaschiert. Im Abgang mildes Dunkelmalz mit knapper aber doch ausreichender Hopfengrundierung. - Erstaunlich leichter, knapp gehopfter aber runder und süffiger, sehr eleganter Bock, dem es freilich an Wucht und Tiefgang fehlt.

Bottle, loud pop when opening. Hazy yellow-golden color with huge white head. Aroma is a bit soapy, mildly bready, flowery, honey, some apricots, slight tartness in the aroma, a touch apple. Taste is sweetish malts, with a touch fruity sourness, flowery, lemony, some apricots again and also a touch apple again. Silky mouthfeel with high but soft carbonation. Interesting, but could use more hops.

750ml bottle [2009 vintage, bottle #372/879]. Clear, mahogany colour with ruby glimmer and average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Slightly vinous, dark malty aroma, notes of malt lozenge, black cherries, hints of blue grapes, a very mild touch of marmite. Taste is dry, minimally woody, dark malty, notes of malt lozenge, a mild touch of marmite, hints of black cherry, plum, chocolately and minimally nutty undertones, some residual sweetness; oily texture, minimally sticky palate, minimally prickling carbonation supports the fruity aspects. Probably the oldest Doppelbock I had so far. Obviously cellaring did no harm, no abatement in quality detectable (not a matter of course considering the relatively low abv).

„Faust Kräusen Naturtrüb“, Flasche (50 cl) vom Edeka am Prager Platz, Berlin-Wilmersdorf. - Helles Goldbraun, nur leicht trüb. - In der Nase mildes, weich brotiges Malz, Anklänge an süßen Honig und getrocknete Aprikosen. - Antrunk weich malzig-süß mit Weißbrot und ein wenig Karamel. Nur schwacher, kräuterartiger Hopfen. Mild rezent. Im Abgang störend dumpf-muffige Herbe wie von Hopfenextrakt, die den guten Eindruck stark beeinträchtigt. Stumpfer, leicht blecherner Nachtrunk. - Schön weiches, rundes Bier von angenehmer Süße, leider lieblos und billig gehopft.

Pours brownish from the bottle. The thick frothy head soon fades completely. Aroma is caramel, oak, fresh bandage. Taste is sweet, malty, full of oak, caramel, and finishes with an alcoholic warmth. Body is medium, carbonation is mild. It’s not bad, but there’s just not a lot to it. Missing any sort of complexity to hold the attention.

0,33 l bottle from the brewery. 2016 version. Labeled with 7.5% abv. Murky dark orange with a huge pale beige head in the glass. Some malty fruitieness on the nose. Taste starts surprisingly smooth. Mid malty, low fruity, little bit alcoholic in the background but also warming. Some wood and hop. Sweetness in the second row. More carbonation than expected. Complex stuff.
