Serving: On tap


A:
Pours an inpenetrable black with a finger of yellow-beige head that dissipates to a film with a ring around the glass. Meh retention; speckled lacing. (3.75)

S:
Sweet and boozy. Raisins, baking spices, brown sugar, warm yeast aromas. (4)

T:
Bready and warming. Dark fruits, bubblegum, sugar, grain, dark bread. (3.5)

M:
Soft, medium bodied, smooth, and slightly slick. There is a lingering warmth to it, but alcohol is well-hidden. (3.75)

O:
This is an all right Doppelbock.
It is generally over-sweet for my taste, but is not sticky and is fairly drinkable. It pours pretty nice for such a strong beer, and has a very pleasant aroma. The flavor was nice and complex but pretty sugary. It is a big beer, but I didn't find it to be overly filling and it certainly could stand to be a little richer to balance out its 'bigness' in other areas.
This is a relatively solid beer, but defintely not one that I would choose over a German example. Although, to be fair, I don't know that I have ever come across a non-German one that I would. (3.5)
