Süßer, deutlich bitterer Malzantrunk mit trockenen Röstnoten. Vollmundiger Mittelteil, in dem vor allem das würzig röstige, dann leicht säuerliche Malz punkten kann. Im Abgang wiederum eher süßlich, erdig, rund. Gut! 6/12/12/11/10/12

500ml bottle [2012 vintage, 6.4% abv]. Minimally cloudy dark golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Grainy aroma has notes of hay, unroasted coffee, unripe spelt grain, brown bread. Taste is initially minimally sweet grainy, later more dry grainy with dry to bitter hoppy overtones carrying a decent grassy / herbal touch. Doesn’t comply with Bock much less Doppelbock criteria, could be rubricated as Strong Zwickel or so - well done on the malt taste side with nice subtle notes, as seems to be typical for this brewer (though not typical for a Doppelbock in this case), weak on the hop side (though more hoppy than other examples from this brewer). Somehow the beer is clearly better than the resulting total score.

500ml bottle. Cloudy dark amber colour with small, frothy, minimally lacing, off-white head. Caramel malty aroma with a nuttily touch. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty with a nuttily touch, decent, unspecific fruity note, maybe tangerine and melon. Untypical, hop- (and head-) lacking Altbier; nevertheless nice in taste with round, delicate malt notes.
