Bottle from a local supermarket. Looks really good. Beer in the glass dark brown, nice head. Fine malty aroma with caramel hints. Starts fine malty, not as strong as exspected, light sweetish with woody hints. Also some caramel notes. Finish a bit drier, still well balanced. Quite drinkable for a doppelbock. Not bad.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts mild, dry-malty, light spicy. A bit moldy. Finish well balanced. A bit boring.

Bottle shared @ Koelschtrinker's place. Smooth malty beginning with grainy back. Easy to drink with a round but grainy ending. Not much bitterness, lots of grain with hints of caramel.
