Clear ruby red with a finger of head that is tan.
The aroma is some bready and spiced malts and creamy caramel, which follows into the flavors with a roasty toffee and a handfull of fig and date like fruit flavors. I expected more punch from this one, but everything is really creamy and light overall, could use some more viscosity and spices to hit the mark closer, but is a decent Dopplebock. I wish they would just Eis this thing.

12 0z bottle poured into a tulip
Bottled 1-22-13

A- Pours a viscous murky amber brown color. Little head to speak of.

S- Massive caramel. A ton of fig and raisins. A german yeast strain. A syrupy smelling beer.

T- A big caramel flavor at first. A candy sugar flavor and a yeasty undertone. A huge dark fruit profile to this beer. A lot of figs, and plums in the beer. A grainy, yeasty spicyness under the beer main flavors. A fairly simple flavor profile but well balanced.

M- A thick beer. Syrupy in the mouth. Medium carbonation, semi sweet. Surprisingly easy to drink for me.

O- A solid Doppelbock, nothing more. A fine example of the style but not one to seek out.
