Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: black color with a two finger off white foamy head which slowly dissipated and left some sly lacing
Aroma: brisk dark bready malts, earthy sweetness, subtle spicy yeastiness, some pomme-like fruits further down in there
Flavor: the sweet breadiness and the spicy yeast matches to balance and meshes with the subtle pomme-like fruitiness, subtle dark bready aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, nothing cloying but lingering sweet feels rolling about, finish of pomme-like fruits and dark bread
Overall: awwwww yeah, a very nicely done doppelbock by one of my favorite brewers of Vermont

750mL bottled April 2024, drunk Jan 7, 2026, as pictured.
Rich but mellowed acidity with a solid backing of bread and honey-like notes from the malt. Not getting any super distinct hop character but nearing two years old, I wouldn't expect any. Still some acidity and fruitiness with lots of earth, gentle funk and vegetal notes.
Quite tart but pleasingly so, with a light, yet ample, malty body showing white bread and honey. Vegetal and pepper notes sound worse than they actually are, and there's mild wood and tropical fruit character lingering. Could do a bit more Brett, but the lactic acidity is mellow and there's no acetic.

Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 20th December 2025. Pours a great looking thick, opaque yellow hop saturated yellow beast. Aroma is pineapple, citrus, pith. Taste is intense, mellow, loads of fruit, smooth and drinkable, slightly dry, so well balanced with a bitter bite right on the close. Very good

Pours a dark brown, verging on black, with smallish tan head. Aroma is roasted grain, burnt toast, a touch of chocolate. Flavors all follow, along with a touch of leather, molasses, maybe a touch of fruit. Clean, crisp mouthfeel, though maybe a touch on the thin side?
