Most D-bocks will be syrupy from the level of sugar in the brew. Not this one, it is the driest doppelbock I've ever had. While the malt is solid, the other oddity is the elevated level of hops, which show up strongly in the swallow and aftertaste.

I had to give extra points for the level of flavor in this beer, but I'd say it is closer to a hoppy dunkel. (There must be a joke somewhere in there.)
