I consider this is a better-than-average doppelbock and an excellent value. Pours a very dark brown but very clear, with glimmering mahogany where the light shines through. A nice sized greyish tan head is also impressive given how rarely doppelbocks have a decent showing of foam. Aromas a very sweet, mostly toffee-ish with some dark fruit. Promises to very chewy, as indeed it is upon tasting.Nice lacing on the glass as it goes down. Again, strong toffee notes, lots of toasted malts, hints of roasted almonds. Has a bitterness on the back end that balances out the sweetness.. It could be a bit more creamy.... that's just my tastes....
