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...........
