Pours a very clear dark copper with a very pretty 2 inch off white head- very small bubbles. Quite attractive.
Aroma is a malty wonderland... slightly sweet, bready and light nutty spices (?) (I can't quite place it, but that's the best description I can give). Flavor follows through very nicely- sweet, but not cloying, bready, but interesting rich bread, not white bread, slight offset from hops and yeast, incredibly well balanced. I really like this one.
Mouthfeel is rich and quite pleasant.
I've read about this beer before (Michael Jackson calls it the perfect beer for pizza), and have had it on many occasions, and really do enjoy it. One of the few Italian beers that I like (not that I've had that many).

The pour is copper colored along with dark red tinges and not to mention a fair amount of carbonation. The taste is cherry cordial, dried raisins, baked biscuits dipped in syrup, caramel, & light notes of lavendar. I highly reccomend this beer, it was a smooth & easy drinking bock. Cheers! B

L- Dark amber body. Off white head, leaves sticky lacing on the glass.
S- dark fruit, sweet raisin. Pleasant.
T- Below average for a doppelbock. Not the best in class, more like the bottom shelf. Dark fruits, slight alcohol.
F- mouth feel is above average for the style. Smooth and enjoyable.
O- Not my go to for doppelbock. But, I was glad I had the chance to try it.
