Butthead Doppelbock
Brewed on date clearly marked on bottle. Poured into a stange glass. This beer pours with two fingers of head over a perfectly clear rich, shadowy ruby body. Excellent presentation. Some lacing and good retention. Smells of dark fruits, sweet and very malty. The main thing here is sweetness and sugary dark fruit. Toasty, malty, caramel and a high sugar profile. A little bitterness off sets the sugary sweet, but it doesn't get very far doing this. Possibly little overly sweet, but still very good. Alcohol is present in the flavor but is surprisingly minimal. Good work by Tommyknocker hiding the alcohol. Medium body and smooth creamy carbonation. Good mouthfeel all around. Drinkability is good but not on par with the best. Conclusion: Maybe a little overdone with the sweetness, but a great beer all the same. Worth drinking just to see it.
