The color is a deep brown with a hint of red. It has a nice foamy head. The aroma is faint but sweet, like roasted chocolate.
It's a very smooth start. Just a tinge of acid at the tip. Next is more roasted chocolate. It coats the mouth and feels a bit creamy. At the end is a super smooth finish with just a hint of bitter hops. The flavor stays for a brief amount of time. It is a bit dry.
Overall I would say this is a relatively subtle beer. The entire sensation is muted. Given that a doppelbock should be very strong and hearty, I think this misses the mark. It's a nice beer, but I don't think it embodies the style it says it's trying to be. So, this leaves it tough to rate. It's not a good doppelbock at all. But, it is a good beer.
