Bottle looks good, beer in the glass also. Starts strong, fine spicy, some grasy-dry notes. Finish still strong, well balanced, spicy-malty, modest sweet. Very drinkable. Really good maibock!

Bottled 330ml. -trade with kappldav123 (thanks David!)
Half year after BBE. Nice dark amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, sweet caramellish nose. Sweet malty, dried fruits and caramel with touch of alcohol in rather dry finish. Not bad.

Bottle courtesy of or shared with ogivlado (not sure if a friend brought him this one or if it wasfrom a trade) Poured a brown-red body with a thick off white head. Malty, sweet nose with notes of dog food, just the way I don’t like it, but not entirely bad because notes of dark cherries emerge and save it. Light taste, maltiness, light dark cherry, dry woody notes, weak chocolate but mostly dull cardboard. Meh. Has some things going for it, some heavily against it.

Thanks to Quack-Duck for this beer. Bottle looks simple but good, the beer in the glass dark, but not black. Starts strong and malty, dry, not too roasty. Notes of caramel, a bit oily. Warming finish, not alcoholic. Good doppelbock!
