Murky reddish brown beer, thick fioamy head. Smokey malt aroma with tangy fruit. The flavour is just light, tart cherry on top of a normal doppelbock but it's balanced beautifully. The cherries aren't overpowering and you still get the big, rich maltiness and neither cancels the other out. A little hoppiness comes through in the finish too. There's loads going on and I like it a lot.

Malty, too much remaining yeast, kind of boring unfortunately
