My very first Doppelbock. First off, very very "creepy" logo with a pentagram. Pours a deep solid black with minimal head. All I smell is dark roasted malts. The beer is a medium bodied, creamy thick feel with slight carbonation. The taste is of medium roasted dark malt and peat, with some espresso and dark chocolate "trying" to poke through. I was hoping for more out of this beer, but there is no way there is 9% alcohol in this beer, you don't even taste it.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Appearance - The beer was a handsome dark brown with visible variations in the color.

Smell - The malts have accents of coffee and malt, but not to a high degree.

Taste - My initial impression is smooth dark coffee. It is not as roasty or chewy as I would expect from the style. The malts leaning more toward coffee makes this seem to be less of a doppelbock. The dark malts continue in the aftertaste, but are surprisingly thin.

Mouthfeel - In the mold of classic doppelbocks, this lacks the thickness. It just does not do far enough into doppelbock territory.

Overall - The profile just does not go far enough to be a great doppelbock.
