1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - I'm a little surprised that this name hasn't already been used elsewhere for a Doppelbock, but I can find no other mention of it.
This beer pours a clear, dark magenta-highlighted brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some craggy land-bridge lace around the glass as it evenly sinks out of sight.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and grainy caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee, reduced brown sugar syrup, plump raisins, and very subtle earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, gooey toffee squares, some blended dark orchard fruitiness, a hint of chocolate-coated nuts, ethereal wet smoke, and more crazily understated leafy, weedy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its barely-there frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of damp ashiness exacting a very minor tithe here. It finishes off-dry, the grainy malt still running the lingering show.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough rendering of the style, maybe not as complex as the greats, but worthy of checking out. It holds its booze with a certain devil-may-care panache, which makes it all right in my book. Yet no, it doesn't 'sing to me', FWIW.
