500 ml swing top bottle from a grocery store in Passau, Germany. Happy New Year! Pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a white head and good retention. Decent, spotty lacing. Bready malt aroma, as expected. Lightly sweet malt-forward flavor with only faint bread notes in the finish. Very smooth and clean. Nothing unique here, just another good German lager. Easily repeatable. Medium-light body Low/fine carbonation. Not bitter.

Bottle 0,5 ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an sweet taste in all of it's aspects, from low sweetness to high sweetness and everything in between. In a good way for instance, also some bitterness. Hints of lemon and caramel.

330 ml bottle from a grocery store in Passau, Germany. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a bright white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Slightly sharp malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Lightly sharp pilsner malt flavor with a smooth finish, leaning towards the dry end and a hint of Euro water. Nothing unique, just a classic example of the style. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Light bitterness.

Bottle from the Hacklberg webshop. Had this in the company of Nick and Anna, Leverburgh, Isle of Harris, Wednesday 27th March 2024. Like the whisky cask aged, this pours dark brown with a ruby glint, hardly any head, however this is where the similarities end. I find it almost a bit chemically 'ish', strange but I always find Rum aged stuff hit and miss. I initially gave it 3.4 but on reflection it's a 3.2. The Doppelbock is still there but the rum doesn't quite work.*Had to go back through my notes to find this, couldn't believe that I'd not added before now.

Bottle from the Hacklberg webshop. Had this in the company of Nick and Anna, Leverburgh, Isle of Harris, Wednesday 27th March 2024. Pours dark brown with a ruby glint, hardly any head. Subtle toasty and whisky led aroma. Taste is very good, the whisky integrates nicely into the Doppelbock base, some sweetness caramel also shows in the mouth, a little bit of toffee, thickness in the mouth, good. *Had to go back through my notes to find this, couldn't believe that I'd not added before now.

Bottle. Brown. Tar, wood. Sweet, flat, weird, could be better. Not much to say.
