Pours a crystal clear amber with a finger of head that dies relatively quickly.

Nose is mostly a sweet caramel toasted malt, a little roasted malt bitterness to back it up (think porter) but only if you're looking for it. Some fig and raisin undertones, a tiny bit of hops to balance things out.

First taste is dominated by the dark caramel malt, Crystal 120 or similar mixed with something a little lighter. Fairly sweet from the malt, but the toasted grain again brings up the rear, all of it encasing the fig note and tied together by a little bit of hops.

Full body, creamy and with a fading sweet aftertaste, this is simply a pleasure to drink. The ABV is dangerously well-hidden, but you can really feel it because it's hard not to drink this beer quickly. I've tried it in a range of serving temperatures and I think the best was about 50F. Once it warms up the sweet malt gets a little too pushy.

It's easy to see why this is a popular brew. It's a very satisfying beverage.

12oz bottle

A Amber/brown, auburn. No head.

S - warm raisin bread. yum. cherries, chocolate?

T/M - flavor explosion. perfectly well balanced malt. not overly sweet but it's still a dobblelbock, so it's there.

O - def could have gone for some frothy head on this, but maybe it's aged a bit...however the flavor profile is exactly what you want out of a doppelbock. noms
