Aroma - Dark caramel with a slight molasses tone. I pick up some dark dried fruits, like prunes and raisins. Nice sweet malt presence.
Appearance - Deep rich red/brown with a thin tan head.
Flavor - Dark caramel, plum, prune, raisin, slight toasty sweetness. Very malty, lots of melanoidins providing emphasis of dark fruity caramel, kind of like Grapenuts. Hint of alcohol and bitterness in the finish.
Mouth-feel - Medium-full. Medium carbonation. Smooth drinking, well attenuated.
Overall - Very rich, malty lager. Hints of dark/dried fruits spread on crispy toast. Very smooth due to attenuation.
I highly recommend this Dopplebock to anyone who hasn't tasted the style.
