8/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle, 5.4%. Caramelly aroma with spicy hop notes. Deep chestnut colour, seems clear. Very big stable rocky off-white head. The flavour is very malty, but not sweet. Has a powerful nutty note with biscuit and more caramel. Bready, nutty and caramelly finish and aftertaste. I did not expect much from this beer (style), but I was pleasantly surprised.

Bottle, 10%. Good malty and caramelly aroma. Almost clear chestnut colour. Big stable off-white head. The flavour is quite sweet, nicely caramelly with a big dose of spicy, noble hops. Very bitter, but it does not show too much until the aftertaste. I do love me a sweet and strong Doppelbock.

7.3/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle, 7,2%. Malty yeasty aroma, reminding me of my own happy homebrewing days. Black colour with a very big stable creamy light brown head. The flavour is bitter and jammy. I would say the bitterness is uncompromising to say the least. Not so pleasant bitterness. There is also some citrusy aroma hop, so to me it is a hoppy porter or a strong black IPA. Would have scored it 7.2, but it did not add up.
