On tap at Cottonwood in Houston, TX
A: Pours a dark brown/ruby red color. A one finger white head forms with good retention. That gently recedes and leaves patchy lace on the glass.
S: Sweet malt up front and center. Dark fruits of cherries and plums. One dimensional, but still enjoyable.
T: Again, this is one dimensional. Sweet malt. Sugary, caramel, almost brown sugar like. Dark fruits of cherries and plums.
M/D: A full body that is a bit syrupy. Low to medium carbonation. Though smooth. A big beer, and a nice sipper. Though one is enough in a sitting.
Sweetness is the main show here, which is par for the coarse for an American interpretation of the style. The great toasted, bready malt that gives the German versions great depth is missing here. Though still enjoyable and worth a try. Just not in the top tier for the style.

Not even close to style, this disaster had a soapy, medicinal quiality that forced me to return it to the barmaid for immediate disposal. There is no doppelbock maltiness and viscosity. There is no sweet nose and luscious caramel. Unclean line or glass? Maybe, but to call this a doppelbock is simply innaccurate. A disappointment.
