Bottle. Hazy amber, off-white amber low head. Light honeyish nose. Lightbodied, light honey, light grain, light gras...this got to be the lightest everything celebration beer I ever had - feels like they are penny-pinching here.

Bottle. Grassy and herbal aroma. Golden, fine pearling, white head. Nutty doughy malt base, on the sweet side, light leafy hops, not quite enough to overcome the stickyness though. Medium body. Hay retronasal.

Bottle. Chocolate malt aroma with light charcoal notes. Dark reddish-brown color with minimal head. Chocolate malt flavor with light astringency - moderate carbonation. Tasty and lively - has some bock/dry stout characterisics. More character than the average dunkel.

Bottle: Deep chestnut-amber coloured, medium-sized loose beige head, slowly collapsing; moderate sweet-caramelly nose with a good nutty touch and a very delicate tinge of roasted malt; moderate sweet flavour, medium bodied; slightly fruity (raisins) and sweet dark-malty finish. Not bad, but a quite simple Doppelbock...........
