Bottle: Deep golden, almost clear, clumps of yeast visible; fluffy off-white foamy layer; moderate sweetish aroma of bananas, light traces of wheat and yeast underneath; moderate to solid sweetish-sourish flavour, medium bodied, quite smooth; slightly lingering sweet fruity (bananas) finish with the usual tartness in the aftertaste. Not bad at all...........

Beautiful dark mahogany color; medium head. The aroma is light, with some caramel and vegetables. Unsurprisingly the flavor takes some time to come to the surface, surely not when the beer is still cold; it has a solid body, with strong caramel flavor, low sweetness but a fair bitterness, a light touch of vegetables that is out of place, and a too high warming touch. Mediocre.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel, some hops, mild sweet sugary notes. Flavour is sugery, sweet bready malts, some alcohol and quite balanced doppelbock. Still rather sweet.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Golden, nice head. Starts nicely spicy, a bit wheaty. Finish is more sourish, still very drinkable. Nice beer!

The bottle looks a bit funny, the beer in the glass is okay. Surprisingly very hoppy aroma. Starts strong malty, too much like liquorice, very sweet, oily finish. A bit unbalanced. There are better doppelbocks out there!
