Poured room temp into a 16oz fluted tulip glass. Appearance is clear deep amber reddish with a brief white head that receded to nothing. No lacing. A few bubbles of carbonation are visible.
Aroma is malty, bread, booze, caramel, some raisin or cherry notes.
Taste follows the nose with a hit of sweet malt and caramel, bread, raisins, some booze.
Mouthfeel is medium and smoothly creamy. Little chewy but in a good way. Nice carbonation with some warming as it goes down the hatch.
Overall, this is my first double bock so I'm not sure what I'm rating this against. But this is a very tasty brew. Well-crafted and very sippable. I would pick this up again.

Poured from a bottle to a high-ball bar glass.
Color is clear bronze, about the same color as a charcoal aged whiskey.
The thin head dissipated quickly, the foam ring yields temporary lacing between sips. A nice medium bodied brew.
Malt and caramelized sugar flavors dominates the somewhat boozy flavor, a nice strong beer. Notes of vanilla and chocolate nibs are pleasant and compliment the slight bitterness of the hops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured into a glass.

Pours into a thin head, no lacing. Color resembles a classic dark bronze. Smell is hoppy, and it's maltiness is front and center. Nice fruitiness on the palate. Surprisingly sweet taste for the alcohol content. Instead of tasting like straight hops, you get a rather welcomed taste of caramel and chocolate. Mouth roll reveals a rather nice bitterness that tends to complement the upfront sweetness from the malt. Gives this a rather clean balance.

Body is medium, carbonation is low and smooth, with a very nice creaminess that really brings it all together, creating a rather crisp finish with minimal aftertaste, compared to some other beers I've had.

Very surprising beer. I didn't exactly expect to enjoy something at this ABV, but, a very pleasant surprise.

 

Pennsyltucky Doppelbock!

 

Dark brown/red color with a mid-sized beige head. The aroma of caramel, roasted malt, and cherry notes. The taste is sweet with notes of caramel, chocolate, and alcohol. Pleasant bitterness in finish and aftertaste. Very good doppelbock.

My favorite beer since 2020. Really enjoy the malty flavor. Just enough German Northern Brewer and Magnum hops to tone down the sweetness.

 

 

Can.

A nice, dark amber with a dense, off-white head with good retention and lacing. The nose is rich and bready with chocolate, Munich malt, toast. Mild hops. The palate opens clean, fruity, mildly bitter and moderately sweet with bready, toasty flavors, rich Munich malt, delightfully expressive. Lightly earthy hop character. Dark fruit notes of fig and a little date. Lovely mouthfeel. Excellent dunkel dopplebock

A decent go the the style. Enjoyed on Easter day with a killer roast lamb dinner. Very nice accompaniment to a rich meal, and one of my fave styles so I get a little picky. Exceeded my hopes though and glad I picked it up!
