Impression: I quite liked their Dunkler Doppelbock so decided to give this a try despite its having a screw cap. It’s a deceptively strong brew which could pass for a typical Franconian Bock with a rich malty palate. It’s got a touch of honey in both the nose and taste but there is fair hopping, making for a lingering, semi-dry, bittersweet finish. Liked their dark Bock more but this was pretty good too.
Next beer or back to the beer list.
