Had on tap at the Local Taphouse.
Pours a rosey bronze colour with puffy beige head, dissipates to leave a modest film of bubbles. Bit of haze, bit of slow carbonation. Bit pale, but not bad.
Nose is crisp but malty. Hints of a banana eater and some vanilla beans with cakey malt, caramel and a hint of cinnamon. Decent, but run-of-the-mill doppelbock notes that don't really burst with aroma.
Taste is very malty but with a lot of spice as well. Lots of caramel on the front with tangy banana notes and some medicinal phenols coming through midway. Alcohol is noticeable and has a heat to it that together with the phenols leaves a bitter, acerbic aftertaste.
Too bitter on the finish really, makes you forget the malty start because the long bitter finish subjugates the whole palate. Promising start is let down by the conclusion.
Mouthfeel is nice and full but a real sharpness from the alcohol.
I feel like this beer is over-attenuated, it's just sharp and while there is obviously a strong malt presence, too much of it turns quickly to phenolic alcohol flavour. It could probably benefit from some aging; at the moment it just feels rough around all the edges.
