Opened 12 fluid ounce glass, poured into nonic glass.
Pours a small tan colored head atop a clear iced-tea brown brew
Smell is malty - very nice, slight hints of caramel. Taste is definitely a delight. Maltyness with toffee like tones. Bubbles are right where they should be and beer finishes like a champ with little aftertaste. A great brew, considering the other Italian choices on the market.
Some Italian beers help me realize why my great-grandfather Joe left Italy, however this one makes me wonder why.

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.
