A new one from Alan at BC. No label yet, came to me as a gift!
From notes:

Pours a chestnut brown, perhaps a bit lighter. Nice not-quite-white cap.

Nutty aroma, caramel, sweet milk chocolate in the back. Hints of wood. I poured it very cold, warming it up a bit opens the aroma more.

Caramel and nuttiness abound in the flavors. There are some spices dancing around...it seems something like nutmeg. Not too sure. A nice soft breadiness throughout, not toasted bread, but perhaps slightly browned. This is a good doppelbock.
A bit of a bark bite, as in tree bark. Woody a tinge.

The feel is a bit thin on the end. At least for me. I kind of like the 'sticky' beers.
