Butthead Doppelbock
Look - Pours a nice brown, almost amber color. It does have some head that lasted for a little bit. Smell - There is good amount of malty goodness right away. There is some bread quality, with a caramel sweetness on the nose. Taste - Brunt coffee, and burnt toffee right off the top. I also got a strong alcohol taste that is hard to get by. It then gives you some of that coffee bitterness, at the same time you are getting some sweetness. There are some dried fruit like raisins mixed in. It finishes with some almost rye bread taste to it, and it lingers for a while. Feel - It has a solid mouth feel to it. Not much carbonation and it is almost flat by the end. I am not sure if this was just the bottle that I got, or if this is normal to this beer. Drinkability - There is a lot of flavor and aroma going on in this beer. It is not one of my favorites. I love the malt character, and the toffee/coffee taste to it. I think the alcohol is just a little too much in this beer. I also think it was lacking some carbonation as well.
