Served on draught into a snifter at a bar. 9.05%. Cost was $8.00. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a one finger head of khaki colour. Nice thickness, creaminess, and frothiness. Bad (~1 minute) retention. Nice lacing.
Body colour is brown. Opaque; unfiltered - even a biteen milky. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Typical of the style, but a bit too clinical and contrived; it isn't a natural appearance.
Sm: Nuts; hazlenut certainly. Wheat. Brown malts. Biscuit malt. Definitely malty in a conventional stylistic sense. Minimal floral hop character. Some hints of buried dark fruit; maybe plum. Dark sugars. An understated aroma of mild strength.
T: Caramel. Bready malts. Sticky dark fruit - certainly some plum. Perhaps dark cherry. Light nuttiness. Not as malty as I expect from a doppelbock. Decently balanced. Nontrnadiitonal, unconventional build. Above average diversity of flavour for the style, but it's not necessarily a good thing here. Okay complexity. Decent subtlety. No yeast character or alcohol comes through.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Nice thickness. Too sticky. Okay creaminess. Decent carbonation. Suits the flavour profile generally well, but doesn't feel custom-tailored to it.
Dr: Drinkable but mundane. I wouldn't get it again. A noble attempt at the style but it comes off lacking. I could have another, but I wouldn't pay for it.
